Variedades riemannianas folheadas por hipersuperfÃcies (n-1)-umbÃlicas / On Riemannian manifolds foliated by (n-1)-umbilical hipersurfacesEurÃpedes Carvalho da Silva 15 February 2012 (has links)
Nesta dissertaÃÃo, definimos campos de vetores parcialmente conformes fechados e usamos para dar uma caracterizaÃÃo de variedades Riemannianas que admitem este tipo de campos como alguns produtos especiais warped folheados por hipersuperfÃcies (n - 1)-umbÃlicas. Exemplos sÃo descritos em
formas espaciais. Em particular, campos de vetores parcialmente conformes fechados em espaÃos euclidianos estÃo associadas à folheaÃÃes mais simples dada por hiperesferas, hiperplanos ou cilindros coaxiais. Finalmente, para
variedades que admitem tais campos de vetores, impondo condiÃÃes para uma hipersuperfÃcie ser (n - 1)-umbÃlica, ou, em particular, uma folha da folheaÃÃo correspondente. / In this dissertation we define closed partially conformal vector fields and use them to give a characterization of Riemannian manifolds which admit this kind of fields as some special warped products foliated by (n - 1)-umbilical
hypersurfaces. Examples are described in space forms. In particular, closed partially conformal vector fields in Euclidean spaces are associated to the most simple foliations given by hyperspheres, hyperplanes or coaxial cylinders. Finally, for manifolds admitting such vector fields, we impose conditions for a hypersurface to be (n - 1)-umbilical, or, in particular, a leaf of the
corresponding foliation.

A geometric approach to evaluation-transversality techniques in generic bifurcation theoryAalto, Søren Karl January 1987 (has links)
The study of bifurcations of vectorfields is concerned with changes in qualitative behaviour that can occur when a non-structurally stable vectorfield is perturbed. In a sense, this is the study of how such a vectorfield fails to be structurally stable. Finding a systematic approach to the study of such questions is a difficult problem. One approach to bifurcations of vectorfields, known as "generic bifurcation theory," is the subject of much of the work of Sotomayor (Sotomayor [1973a], Sotomayor [1973b],Sotomayor [1974]). This approach attempts to construct generic families of k-parameter vectorfields (usually for k=1), for which all the bifurcations can be described. In Sotomayor [1973a] it is stated that the vectorfields associated with the "generic" bifurcations of individual critical elements for k-parameter vectorfields form submanifolds of codimension ≤ k of the Banach space ϰʳ (M) of vectorfields on a compact manifold M. The bifurcations associated with one of these submanifolds
of codimension-k are called generic codimension-k bifurcations. In Sotomayor [1974] the construction of these submanifolds and the description of the associated bifurcations of codimension-1 for vectorfields on two dimensional manifolds is presented in detail. The bifurcations that occur are due to the parameterised vectorfield crossing one of these manifolds transversely as the parameter changes.
Abraham and Robbin used transversality results for evaluation maps to prove the Kupka-Smale theorem in Abraham and Robbin [1967]. In this thesis, we shall show how an extension of these evaluation transversality techniques will allow us to construct the submanifolds of ϰʳ (M) associated with one type of generic bifurcation of critical elements, and we shall consider how this approach might be extended to include the other well known generic bifurcations. For saddle-node type bifurcations of critical points, we will show that the changes in qualitative behaviour are related to geometric properties of the submanifold Σ₀ of ϰʳ (M) x M, where Σ₀ is the pull-back of the set of zero vectors-or zero section-by the evaluation map for vectorfields. We will look at the relationship between the Taylor series of a vector-field X at a critical point ⍴ and the geometry of Σ₀ at the corresponding point (X,⍴) of ϰʳ (M) x M. This will motivate the non-degeneracy conditions for the saddle-node bifurcations, and will provide a more general geometric picture of this approach to studying bifurcations of critical points. Finally, we shall consider how this approach might be generalised to include other bifurcations of critical elements. / Science, Faculty of / Mathematics, Department of / Graduate

Visualization of Surfaces and 3D Vector FieldsLi, Wentong 08 1900 (has links)
Visualization of trivariate functions and vector fields with three components in scientific computation is still a hard problem in compute graphic area. People build their own visualization packages for their special purposes. And there exist some general-purpose packages (MatLab, Vis5D), but they all require extensive user experience on setting all the parameters in order to generate images. We present a simple package to produce simplified but productive images of 3-D vector fields. We used this method to render the magnetic field and current as solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations on a 3-D domain.

Vector-like description of SU (2) matrix-valued quantum field theoriesJohnson, Celeste Irene 05 1900 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science. Johannesburg, 2015. / The AdS/CFT correspondence asserts a duality between non-Abelian gauge theories
and quantum theories of gravity, established by the value of the gauge coupling
. Gerard t'Hooft found that the large N0 limit in non-Abelian Yang-Mills gauge
theories results in a planar diagram simpli cation of the topological expansion.
In this dissertation, SU(2) gauge theories are written in terms of vector models
(making use of collective eld theory to obtain an expression for the Jacobian),
a saddle point analysis is performed, and the large N limit taken. Initially this
procedure is done for gauge theories dimensionally reduced on T4 and R T3, and
then attempted for the full eld theory (without dimensional reduction). In each case
this results in an expression for the non-perturbative propagator. A nite volume
must be imposed to obtain a gap equation for the full eld theory; directives for
possible solutions to this di culty are discussed.

Hipoeliticidade global para campos vetoriais complexos no plano / Global hypoellipticity for complex vector fields in the planeLaguna, Renato Andrielli 17 June 2016 (has links)
Este trabalho consiste em um estudo sobre a propriedade de hipoeliticidade global para campos vetoriais complexos não singulares no plano. As órbitas de Sussmann de um tal campo desempenham um papel fundamental nesta análise. Mostramos que se todas as órbitas são unidimensionais o campo não é globalmente hipoelítico. Quando o campo apresenta uma órbita bidimensional e ao menos uma órbita unidimensional mergulhada também foi demonstrado que este campo não é globalmente hipoelítico. No caso em que o plano é a única órbita, define-se, como em Hounie (1982), uma determinada relação de equivalência entre pontos em que o campo deixa de ser elítico. As classes de equivalência desta relação são homeomorfas a um ponto, a um intervalo compacto ou a uma semirreta. Se todas as classes de equivalência são compactas, o campo é globalmente hipoelítico. Caso haja uma classe de equivalência fechada e homeomorfa a uma semirreta, o campo não é globalmente hipoelítico. / This work is a study about global hypoellipticity for nonsingular complex vector fields in the plane. Sussmanns orbits play a fundamental role in this analysis. We show that if all the orbits are one-dimensional then the vector field is not globally hypoelliptic. When there exist a two-dimensional orbit and an embedded one-dimensional one then the vector field is not globally hypoelliptic. In the case when the plane is the only orbit, one defines, as in Hounie (1982), a certain equivalence relation between points where the vector field is not elliptic. The equivalence classes are homeomorphic to a single point, a compact interval or a ray. If all the equivalence classes are compact then the vector field is globally hypoelliptic. If there exists an equivalence class that is closed and homeomorphic to a ray then the vector field is not globally hypoelliptic.

Bifurcações de campos vetoriais descontínuos / Bifurcations of discontinuous vector fieldsMaciel, Anderson Luiz 14 August 2009 (has links)
Seja M um conjunto compacto e conexo do plano que seja a união dos subconjuntos conexos N e S. Seja Z_L=(X_L,Y_L) uma família a um parâmetro de campos vetoriais descontínuos, onde X_L está definida em N e Y_L em S. Ambos os campos X_L e Y_L, assim como as suas dependências em L, são suaves i. e. de classe C^\\infty; a descontinuidade acontece na fronteira comum entre N e S. O objetivo deste trabalho é estudar as bifurcações que ocorrem em certas famílias de campos vetoriais descontínuos seguindo as convenções de Filippov. Aplicando o método da regularização, introduzido por Sotomayor e Teixeira e posteriormente aprofundado por Sotomayor e Machado à família de campos vetoriais descontínuos Z_L obtemos uma família de campos vetoriais suaves que é próxima da família descontínua original. Usamos esta técnica de regularização para estudar, por comparação com os resultados clássicos da teoria suave, as bifurcações que ocorrem nas famílias de campos vetoriais descontínuos. Na literatura há uma lista de bifurcações de codimensão um, no contexto de Filippov, apresentada mais completamente, no artigo de Yu. A. Kuznetsov, A. Gragnani e S. Rinaldi, One-Parameter Bifurcations in Planar Filippov Systems, Int. Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, vol. 13, No. 8: 2157--2188, (2003). Alguns dos casos dessa lista já eram conhecidos por Kozlova, Filippov e Machado. Neste trabalho nos propomos a estudar as bifurcações de alguns dos casos, apresentados no artigo de Kuznetsov et. al, através do método da regularização dessas famílias. Nesta Tese consubstanciamos matematicamente a seguinte conclusão: As bifurcações das famílias descontínuas analisadas ficam completamente conhecidas através das bifurcações apresentadas pelas respectivas famílias regularizadas, usando recursos da teoria clássica suave. / Let M be a connected and compact set of the plane which is the union of the connected subsets N and S. Let Z_L=(X_L,Y_L) be a one-parameter family of discontinuous vector fields, where X_L is defined on N and Y_L on S. The two fields X_L, Y_L and their dependences on L are smooths, i. e., are of C^\\infty class; the discontinuity happens in the common boundary of N and S. The objective of this work is to study the bifurcations which occurs in certains families of discontinuous vector fields following the conventions of Filippov. Applying the regularization method, introduced by Sotomayor and Teixeira, to the family of discontinuous vector fields Z_L we obtain a family of regular vector fields which is close to the original family of discontinuous vector fields. In the literature there is a list of codimension one bifurcation, in the Filippov sense, presented more completely, in the article of Yu. A. Kuznetsov, A. Gragnani e S. Rinaldi, One-Parameter Bifurcations in Planar Filippov Systems, Int. Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, vol. 13, No. 8: 2157--2188, (2003). Some of those cases was already known by Kozlova, Filippov and Machado. In this work we propose to study the bifurcations of some of those cases, presented in the article of Kuznetsov et. al, by the method of regularization of those families. In this thesis we justify mathematically the following conclusion: The bifurcations of the analysed discontinuous families are completelly known by the bifurcations contained in the respective regularized families, using the methods of the classical theory of regular vector fields.
