  1. 1. Electrodynamic field at spatial infinity

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Jakob Myhrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Spatial infinity; Conformal rescaling; Minkowski space; Penrose Diagram; Einstein universe; Newman-Penrose formalism; Sigma-process; Resolution of singularities; Maxwell s equations; Cylinder at spatial infinity; Rumslig oändlighet; Konform omskalning; Minkowski rummet; Penrose Diagram; Einsteins universum; Newman-Penrose formalismen; Sigma-processen; Singularitetupplösning; Maxwells ekvationer; Cylindern vid rumslig oändlighet;

    Abstract : The treatment of spatial infinity is one of the remaining major open problems in the theory of isolated self-gravitating systems. Especially when one wants to model scattering of gravitational radiation in spacetime. In this thesis the conformal theory is used to study simple electromagnetic fields, close to spatial infinity.

  3. 2. The 2+1 Lorentz Group and Its Representations

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Fysikum

    Author : Klas Sjöstedt; [2020]
    Keywords : The Lorentz group; representation theory; anti-de Sitter space; relativity; Lorentzgruppen; representationsteori; anti-de Sitter-rum; relativitet;

    Abstract : The Lorentz group is a symmetry group on Minkowski space, and as such is central to studying the geometry of this and related spaces. The group therefore shows up also from physical considerations, such as trying to formulate quantum physics in anti-de Sitter space. READ MORE

  4. 3. Geometric algebra, conformal geometry and the common curves problem

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Elias Riedel Gårding; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This bachelor’s thesis gives a thorough introduction to geometric algebra (GA), an overview of conformal geometric algebra (CGA) and an application to the processing of single particle data from cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The geometric algebra over the vector space Rp;q, i.e. READ MORE

  5. 4. The kaon electromagnetic mass difference in AdS/QCD

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Jack Borthwick; [2016]
    Keywords : particle physics; AdS QCD; AdS CFT; kaon; electromagnetic mass difference; quantum field theory; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this thesis, a holographic model for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is used to estimate the electromagnetic contribution to the kaon mass difference. The principal ideas of the model are inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence, which is believed to be exact. READ MORE

  6. 5. Bianchi type I solutions to Einstein's vacuum equations.

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Inst.)

    Author : Oliver Lindblad Petersen; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A natural question in general relativity is whether there exist singularities, like the Big Bang and black holes, in the universe. Albert Einstein did not in the beginning believe that singularities in general relativity are generic ([2], [3]). He claimed that the existence of singularities is due to symmetry assumptions.
