Sobre IBD

The subject matter of this work is an area of Lorentzian geometry which has not been heretofore much investigated: Do there exist Lorentzian manifolds all of whose light-like geodesics are periodic? A surprising fact is that such manifolds exist in abundance in (2 + 1)-dimensions (though in higher dimensions they are quite rare). This book is concerned with the deformation theory of M2,1 (which furnishes almost all the known examples of these objects). It also has a section describing conformal invariants of these objects, the most interesting being the determinant of a two dimensional 'Floquet operator,' invented by Paneitz and Segal.

  • BEYOND THE TRIANGLE
    Kei Kobayashi / Marjorie Hahn / MARJORIE HAHN & KEI KOBAYA SABIR UMAROV / Sabir Umarov / UMAROV SABIR
     The book is devoted to the fundamental relationship between three objects: a stochastic process, stochastic differential equations driven by that process and their associated Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov equations. This book discusses wide fractional generalizations of this fundamental triple relationship, where the driving process represents a time-changed stochastic process; the...
