Mapping relativistic to ultra/non-relativistic conformal symmetries in 2D and finite $$ \sqrt{T\overline{T}} $$ deformations

The conformal symmetry algebra in 2D (Diff(S1)⊕Diff(S1)) is shown to be related to its ultra/non-relativistic version (BMS3≈GCA2) through a nonlinear map of the generators, without any sort of limiting process. For a generic classical CFT2, the BMS3 generators then emerge as composites built out from the chiral (holomorphic) components of the stress-energy tensor, T and $$ \overline{T} $$ T ¯ , closing in the Poisson brackets at equal time slices. Nevertheless, supertranslation generators do not span Noetherian symmetries. BMS3 becomes a bona fide symmetry once the CFT2 is marginally deformed by the addition of a $$ \sqrt{T\overline{T}} $$ T T ¯ term to the Hamiltonian. The generic deformed theory is manifestly invariant under diffeomorphisms and local scalings, but it is no longer a CFT2 because its energy and momentum densities fulfill the BMS3 algebra. The deformation can also be described through the original CFT2 on a curved metric whose Beltrami differentials are determined by the variation of the deformed Hamiltonian with respect to T and $$ \overline{T} $$ T ¯ . BMS3 symmetries then arise from deformed conformal Killing equations, corresponding to diffeomorphisms that preserve the deformed metric and stress-energy tensor up to local scalings. As an example, we briefly address the deformation of N free bosons, which coincides with ultra-relativistic limits only for N = 1. Furthermore, Cardy formula and the S-modular transformation of the torus become mapped to their corresponding BMS3 (or flat) versions.

Linear Energy Density and the Flux of an Electric Field in Proca Tubes

In this work, we study cylindrically symmetric solutions within SU(3) non-Abelian Proca theory coupled to a Higgs scalar field. The solutions describe tubes containing either the flux of a color electric field or the energy flux and momentum. It is shown that the existence of such tubes depends crucially on the presence of the Higgs field (there are no such solutions without this field). We examine the dependence of the integral characteristics (linear energy and momentum densities) on the values of the electromagnetic potentials at the center of the tube, as well as on the values of the coupling constant of the Higgs scalar field. The solutions obtained are topologically trivial and demonstrate the dual Meissner effect: the electric field is pushed out by the Higgs scalar field.

On relaxation processes in a completely ionized plasma

Relaxation of the electron energy and momentum densities is investigated in spatially uniform states of completely ionized plasma in the presence of small constant and spatially homogeneous external electric field. The plasma is considered in a generalized Lorentz model which contrary to standard one assumes that ions form an equilibrium system. Following to Lorentz it is neglected by electron-electron and ion-ion interactions. The investigation is based on linear kinetic equation obtained by us early from the Landau kinetic equation. Therefore long-range electron-ion Coulomb interaction is consequentially described. The research of the model is based on spectral theory of the collision integral operator. This operator is symmetric and positively defined one. Its eigenvectors are chosen in the form of symmetric irreducible tensors which describe kinetic modes of the system. The corresponding eigenvalues are relaxation coefficients and define the relaxation times of the system. It is established that scalar and vector eigenfunctions describe evolution of electron energy and momentum densities (vector and scalar system modes). By this way in the present paper exact close set of equations for the densities valid for all times is obtained. Further, it is assumed that their relaxation times are much more than relaxation times of all other modes. In this case there exists a characteristic time such that at corresponding larger times the evolution of the system is reduced described by asymptotic values of the densities. At the reduced description electron distribution function depends on time only through asymptotic densities and they satisfy a closed set of equations. In our previous paper this result was proved in the absence of an external electric field and exact nonequilibrium distribution function was found. Here it is proved that this reduced description takes also place for small homogeneous external electric field. This can be considered as a justification of the Bogolyubov idea of the functional hypothesis for the relaxation processes in the plasma. The proof is done in the first approximation of the perturbation theory in the field. However, its idea is true in all orders in the field. Electron mobility in the plasma, its conductivity and phenomenon of equilibrium temperature difference of electrons and ions are discussed in exact theory and approximately analyzed. With this end in view, following our previous paper, approximate solution of the spectral problem is discussed by the method of truncated expansion of the eigenfunctions in series of the Sonine polynomials. In one-polynomial approximation it is shown that nonequilibrium electron distribution function at the end of relaxation processes can be approximated by the Maxwell distribution function. This result is a justification of Lorentz–Landau assumption in their theory of nonequilibrium processes in plasma. The temperature and velocity relaxation coefficients were calculated by us early in one- and two-polynomial approximation.

Уравнения для импульса и энергии рентгеновского волнового поля в кристалле

A new approach for describing the interaction of X rays with a crystalline medium is proposed. General relations for a change in the electromagnetic-field momentum and energy have been derived for a nonmagnetic medium with variable permittivity. A special local coordinate system for an inhomogeneous medium is introduced, in which the Maxwell tension tensor has a canonical form determined by the energy and momentum densities. Main relations for changes in the energy and momentum densities have been obtained in the coordinate system related to the propagation direction of a plane electromagnetic wave pulse in a homogeneous medium.

Higher-dimensional energy–momentum problem for Bianchi types V and I universes in gravitation theories

Using the Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson, Landau–Lifshitz, Møller, Papapetrou and Tolman energy–momentum complexes in general relativity (GR) and teleparallel gravity (TG), we calculate the total energy–momentum distributions associated with N-dimensional Bianchi type V universe. While the solutions of Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson and Tolman energy and momentum densities are the same as each other, the solutions of Landau–Lifshitz, Møller and Papapetrou energy–momentum densities are different for N-dimensional Bianchi type V space-time in GR and TG. Obtained results for Einstein, Bergmann–Thomson and Landau–Lifshitz definitions we could say that GR and TG are in the same class. Because different energy–momentum distributions provide same results. However we have discussed N-dimensional Bianchi type I solutions and then we obtained all energy–momentum solutions are vanish in GR and TG theories. These results agree with Banerjee–Sen, Xulu, Aydoḡdu–Saltı and Radinschi in four dimensions.

ENERGY–MOMENTUM DENSITY OF GRAVITATIONAL WAVES

In this paper, we elaborate the problem of energy–momentum in general relativity by energy–momentum prescriptions theory. Our aim is to calculate energy and momentum densities for the general form of gravitational waves. In this connection, we have extended the previous works by using the prescriptions of Bergmann and Tolman. It is shown that they are finite and reasonable. In addition, using Tolman prescription, exactly, leads to the same results that have been obtained by Einstein and Papapetrou prescriptions.

ENERGY AND MOMENTUM ASSOCIATED WITH A STATIC AXIALLY SYMMETRIC VACUUM SPACETIME

We use the Einstein and Papapetrou energy–momentum complexes to calculate the energy and momentum densities of the Weyl metric. Further, using these results we obtain the energy and momentum density components for the Curzon metric (a particular case of the Weyl metric). We find that these two definitions of energy–momentum complexes do not provide the same energy density for Weyl metric, although they give the same momentum density. We show that, in the case of Curzon metric, these two definitions give the same energy only when R→∞. Furthermore, we compare these results with those obtained using Landau and Lifshitz, Bergmann and Møller prescriptions.

ENERGY AND MOMENTUM ASSOCIATED WITH GÖDEL UNIVERSE

Using different prescriptions we calculate energy and momentum densities for stationary and nonstationary forms of Gödel universe. We find that the results are finite and well defined in all the complexes.

Energy and momentum densities of a Landau-damped wave packet

The energy of a Landau-damped electrostatic wave is a long-standing problem. Calculations based on a spatially infinite wave are deficient. In this paper, a wave packet is analysed. The energy density depends on second-order initial conditions that are independent of the first-order wave. Pictures of energy and momentum transfer to resonant electrons are presented. On physical grounds, suitable second-order initial conditions are proposed. The resulting wave energy agrees with fluid theory. The ratio between energy and momentum is not the phase velocity up, as predicted by fluid theory, but ½up, in agreement with Landau-damping physics.
