f(T) cosmology with nonzero curvature

We investigate exact and analytic solutions in [Formula: see text] gravity within the context of a Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker background space with nonzero spatial curvature. For the power-law theory [Formula: see text] we find that the field equations admit an exact solution with a linear scalar factor for negative and positive spatial curvature. That Milne-like solution is asymptotic behavior for the scale factor near the initial singularity for the model [Formula: see text]. The analytic solution for that specific theory is presented in terms of Painlevé series for [Formula: see text]. Moreover, from the value of the resonances of the Painlevé series we conclude that the Milne-like solution is always unstable while for large values of the independent parameter, the field equations provide an expanding universe with a de Sitter expansion of a positive cosmological constant. Finally, the presence of the cosmological term [Formula: see text] in the studied [Formula: see text] model plays no role in the general behavior of the cosmological solution and the universe immerge in a de Sitter expansion either when the cosmological constant term [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] model vanishes.

Curvature Invariants for Lorentzian Traversable Wormholes

The curvature invariants of three Lorentzian wormholes are calculated and plotted in this paper. The plots may be inspected for discontinuities to analyze the traversability of a wormhole. This approach was formulated by Henry, Overduin, and Wilcomb for black holes (Henry et al., 2016). Curvature invariants are independent of coordinate basis, so the process is free of coordinate mapping distortions and the same regardless of your chosen coordinates (Christoffel, E.B., 1869; Stephani, et al., 2003). The four independent Carminati and McLenaghan (CM) invariants are calculated and the nonzero curvature invariant functions are plotted (Carminati et al., 1991; Santosuosso et al., 1998). Three traversable wormhole line elements analyzed include the (i) spherically symmetric Morris and Thorne, (ii) thin-shell Schwarzschild wormholes, and (iii) the exponential metric (Visser, M., 1995; Boonserm et al., 2018).

Characterization of Rectifying and Sphere Curves in ℝ3

Studies of curves in 3D-space have been developed by many geometers and it is known that any regular curve in 3D space is completely determined by its curvature and torsion, up to position. Many results have been found to characterize various types of space curves in terms of conditions on the ratio of torsion to curvature. Under an extra condition on the constant curvature, Y. L. Seo and Y. M. Oh found the series solution when the ratio of torsion to curvature is a linear function. Furthermore, this solution is known to be a rectifying curve by B. Y. Chen’s work. This project, uses a different approach to characterize these rectifying curves. This paper investigates two problems. The first problem relates to figuring out what we can say about a unit speed curve with nonzero curvature if every rectifying plane of the curve passes through a fixed point in ℝ3. Secondly, some formulas of curvature and torsion for sphere curves are identified.

Reverse time migration of multiples: Eliminating migration artifacts in angle domain common image gathers

Free-surface-related multiples are usually regarded as noise in conventional seismic processing. However, they can provide extra illumination of the subsurface and thus have been used in migration procedures, e.g., in one- and two-way wave-equation migrations. The disadvantage of the migration of multiples is the migration artifacts generated by the crosscorrelation of different seismic events, e.g., primaries and second-order free-surface-related multiples, so the effective elimination of migration artifacts is crucial for migration of multiples. The angle domain common image gather (ADCIG) is a suitable domain for testing the correctness of a migration velocity model. When the migration velocity model is correct, all the events in ADCIGs should be flat, and this provides a criterion for removing the migration artifacts. Our approach first obtains ADCIGs during reverse time migration and then applies a high-resolution parabolic Radon transform to all ADCIGs. By doing so, most migration artifacts will reside in the nonzero curvature regions in the Radon domain, and then a muting procedure can be implemented to remove the data components outside the vicinity of zero curvature. After the application of an adjoint Radon transform, the filtered ADCIGs are obtained and the final denoised migration result is generated by stacking all filtered ADCIGs. A three-flat-layer velocity model and the Marmousi synthetic data set are used for numerical experiments. The numerical results revealed that the proposed approach can eliminate most artifacts generated by migration of multiples when the migration velocity model is correct.

ON TWO-DIMENSIONAL MANIFOLDS WITH CONSTANT GAUSSIAN CURVATURE AND THEIR ASSOCIATED EQUATIONS

The components for the frame field of a two-dimensional manifold with constant Gaussian curvature are determined for arbitrary nonzero curvature. The components of the frame fields are found from the structure equations and lead to specific nonlinear equations which pertain to surfaces with specific values of the Gaussian curvature. For negative curvature, the equation is of sine-Gordon type, and for positive curvature it is of sinh-Gordon type. The integrability and Bäcklund properties of these equations are then investigated by studying a differential ideal of two-forms which leads to the equations. As a consequence of studying the prolongation structure of each equation, a Lax pair and Bäcklund transformation are obtained.
