A construction of constant scalar curvature manifolds with delaunay-type endsSantos, Almir Rogério Silva January 2009 (has links)
Foi provado por Byde que é possível adicionar um fim do tipo Delaunay a uma variedade compacta não degenerada de curvatura escalar constante positiva; desde que ela seja localmente conformemente plana em alguma vizinhança do ponto de colagem. A variedade resultante é não-compacta e possui a mesma curvatura escalar constante. O principal objetivo desta tese é generalizar este resultado. Construiremos uma família a um parâmetro de soluções para o problema de Yamabe singular positivo em qualquer variedade compacta não degenerada cujo tensor de Weyl anula-se até uma ordem suficientemente grande no ponto singular. Se a dimensão da variedade é no máximo 5; nenhuma condição sobre o tensor de Weyl é necessária. Usaremos técnicas de pertubação e o método de colagem. _________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT: It has been showed by Byde [5] that it is possible to attach a Delaunay
type end to a compact nondegenerate manifold of positive constant scalar curvature, provided it is locally conformally flat in a neighborhood of the attaching point. The resulting manifold is noncompact with the same constant scalar curvature. The main goal of this thesis is to generalize
this result. We will construct a one-parameter family of solutions to the
positive singular Yamabe problem for any compact non-degenerate manifold with Weyl tensor vanishing to suciently high order at the singular point. If the dimension is at most 5, no condition on the Weyl tensor is
needed. We will use perturbation techniques and gluing methods.

Einsteinova gravitace ve více dimenzích / Higher-dimensional Einstein gravityŠtrupl, František January 2011 (has links)
In the present work, we study some aspects of Einstein's theory of gravitation in general spacetimes with an arbitrary number of dimensions. In the first chapter we summarize the foundations of used geometric formalism and we derive the equation of goedesic deviation representing the relation between relative acceleration and the Riemann tensor. Second chapter presents different types of algebraic classification of the Weyl tensor in four and higher dimensions. Third chapter is devoted to a detailed examination of the test particle motions and also to the interpretation of different terms in the general equation of geodesic deviation. The fourth section examines appropriate choice of the interpretation frame and the coordinates. The final fifth chapter contains an analysis of the motion of test particles in the Robinson-Trautman spacetime with an arbitrary higher number of dimensions.
