FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / Este trabalho tem como objetivo fornecer uma caracterizaÃÃo de hipersuperfÃcies tipo espaÃo completas no espaÃo anti de Sitter, tais como os cilindros hiperbÃlicos, sob a hipÃtese de curvatura mÃdia constante e duas curvaturas principais distintas. No caso em que umas das curvaturas principais à simples, à adicionada uma condiÃÃo sobre tais curvaturas. A caracterizaÃÃo aqui sugerida, teve como refrÃncia principal o trabalho de B. Yang e X. Liu, que dà uma resposta positiva à conjectura de L. F. Cao e G. Wei sobre hipersuperfÃcies tipo espaÃo em tais condiÃÃes. Para a realizaÃÃo do trabalho, foi utilizada uma fÃrmula do tipo Simons juntamente com o PrincÃpio do MÃximo Generalizado (Omori-Yau). / The aim of this work is to provide a characterization complete spacelike hypersurfaces in anti de Sitter space, such as hyperbolic cylinders, under the assumption constant mean curvature and two distinct principal curvatures. In the case that one of the principal curvatures is simple, a condition is added on the curvature. The characterization suggested here had as main reference the work of B.Yang and X. Liu, giving a positive answer to the L. F. Cao and G. Weiâs conjecture on spacelike hypersurfaces in such conditions. To carry out the work, we used a formula of type Simons along with the Generalized Maximum Principle (Omori-Yau).

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. In this thesis, the Lorentz group in 2+1 dimensions and its representations are investigated, and comparisons are made to the analogous rotation group. Firstly, all unitary irreducible representations are found and classified. Then, those representations are realised as the square-integrable, analytic functions on the unit circle and the unit disk, which turn out to correspond to the projective lightcone and the hyperbolic plane, respectively. Also, a way to realise a particular class of representations on 1+1-dimensional anti-de Sitter space is shown. / Lorentzgruppen är en symmetrigrupp på Minkowski-rum, och är således central för att studera geometrin i detta och relaterade rum. Gruppen dyker också därför upp från fysikaliska frågeställningar, såsom att försöka formulera kvantfysik i anti-de Sitter-rum. Denna uppsats undersöker Lorentzgruppen i 2+1 dimensioner och dess representationer, och jämför med den analoga rotationsgruppen. Först konstrueras och klassificeras alla unitära irreducibla representationer. Sedan realiseras dessa representationer som de analytiska funktioner på enhetscirkeln och enhetsskivan vars belopp i kvadrat är integrerbara. Det visar sig att denna cirkel respektive skiva svarar mot den projektiva ljuskonen respektive det hyperboliska planet. Dessutom visas att en särskild klass av representationer blir relevanta för att formulera kvantfysik i 1+1-dimensionellt anti-de Sitter-rum.

Un problema clásico en geometría lorentziana es la descripción de las inmersiones isométricas entre los espacios lorentzianos de curvatura constante. En este trabajo nos centramos en la clasificación de las inmersiones isométricas del plano lorentziano en el espacio anti-de Sitter tridimensional. Damos una fórmula de representación de estas inmersiones en términos de pares de curvas (con posibles singularidades) en el plano hiperbólico. Esto nos permite resolver los problemas propuestos por Dajczer y Nomizu en 1981. De entre todas las inmersiones isométricas del plano lorentziano en el espacio anti-de Sitter, algunas de ellas corresponden a toros lorentzianos (los ejemplos más sencillos son los toros de Hopf). Como aplicación de nuestra anterior descripción, probamos que todos estos toros pueden obtenerse a partir de dos curvas cerradas en el espacio hiperbólico. Finalmente, demostramos que los toros de Hopf son los únicos toros llanos lorentzianos inmersos en una amplia familia de sumersiones de Killing lorentzianas tridimensionales. / A classical problem in Lorentzian geometry is the description of the isometric immersions between Lorentzian spaces of constant curvature. We investigate the problem of classifying the isometric immersion from the Lorentz plane into the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space, providing a representation formula of these isometric immersions in terms of pairs of curves (possibly with singularities) in the hyperbolic plane. We then give an answer to the open problems proposed by Dajczer and Nomizu in 1981. Among all isometric immersions of the Lorentz plane into the anti-de Sitter space, some of them are actually Lorentzian tori (the basic examples are the Hopf tori). As an application of our previous description, we prove that any such torus can be recovered from two closed curves in the hyperbolic plane. Finally, we prove that Lorentzian Hopf tori are the only immersed Lorentzian flat tori in a wide family of Lorentzian three-dimensional Killing submersions.

Originalmente o sistema RS representaria um Universo com cinco dimensões onde o modelo padrão ficaria confinado em uma brana e os grávitons ficariam confinados na outra brana. Este sistema foi construído com uma métrica de Minkowski “torcida” com cinco dimensões onde os grávitons, responsáveis pelo campo gravitacional no modelo padrão, se deslocariam através da quinta dimensão, que por sua vez é infinita. E a ação padrão da relatividade geral, a ação de Einstein-Hilbert, foi a utilizada por RS. Neste trabalho de dissertação de mestrado vamos adotar uma ação modificada usada atualmente para explicar efeitos cosmológicos como a energia escura e a expansão do Universo por exemplo, ou seja, a ação com uma gravitação modificada chamada de f(R). Aqui vamos usar uma f(R) totalmente generalizada e suas consequências cosmológicas e viabilidade serão analisadas. Finalmente, vamos demonstrar que as partículas do modelo padrão estão confinadas nesta brana curva. Os resultados obtidos aqui generalizam totalmente outros resultados obtidos na literatura atual sobre mundo brana com branas grossas e são por isso, originais e serão submetidos à publicação. / In this work we will show that the so-called “brane world” framework introduced by Randall-Sundrum (RS), to represent our Universe, at the late nineties can be represented in fact by bent branes in de Sitter and Anti-de Sitter space with a generalized model for gravity. At the beginning, the RS scenario represent a Universe in five dimensions where the Standard Model is confined in one brane and the gravitons were confined in the another one. This model was build with a warped Minkowski metric with five dimensions where the gravitons, which are responsible by the gravitational field, are able to move through the fifth dimension, which is infinity. The standard general relativity action, namely, the Einstein-Hilbert action, was the one used by RS. In this Master dissertation we will adopt a modified action used at present to explain some cosmological effects like dark energy and Universe expansion, for example, i.e., we will use an action with a modified gravitation called f(R). However, here we will use a generalized f(R) and their cosmological consequences and viability will be analyzed. Finally, we will show that the particles of the Standard Model are confined at this bent brane. The results obtained here generalize altogether the others results obtained in the current literature concerning braneworlds with thick branes and are, consequently, new ones, which will be published elsewhere.
