Imposition Of Cauchy Data To The Teukolsky Equation. Iii. The Rotating Case, Manuela Campanelli, Carlos O. Lousto, John Baker, Gaurav Khanna, Jorge Pullin Jan 1998

Imposition Of Cauchy Data To The Teukolsky Equation. Iii. The Rotating Case, Manuela Campanelli, Carlos O. Lousto, John Baker, Gaurav Khanna, Jorge Pullin

Faculty Publications

We solve the problem of expressing the Weyl scalars ψ that describe gravitational perturbations of a Kerr black hole in terms of Cauchy data. To do so we use geometrical identities (such as the Gauss-Codazzi relations) as well as the Einstein equations. We are able to explicitly express ψ and [Formula Presented] as functions only of the extrinsic curvature and the three-metric (and geometrical objects built out of it) of a generic spacelike slice of the spacetime. These results provide the link between initial data and ψ to be evolved by the Teukolsky equation, and can be used to compute …


On The Consistency Of The Constraint Algebra In Spin Network Quantum Gravity, Rodolfo Gambini, Jerzy Lewandowski, Donald Marolf, Jorge Pullin Jan 1998

On The Consistency Of The Constraint Algebra In Spin Network Quantum Gravity, Rodolfo Gambini, Jerzy Lewandowski, Donald Marolf, Jorge Pullin

Faculty Publications

We point out several features of the quantum Hamiltonian constraints recently introduced by Thiemann for Euclidean gravity. In particular we discuss the issue of the constraint algebra and of the quantum realization of the object qabVb, which is classically the Poisson Bracket of two Hamiltonians.


Evolving The Bowen-York Initial Data For Spinning Black Holes, Reinaldo J. Gleiser, Carlos O. Nicasio, Richard H. Price, Jorge Pullin Jan 1998

Evolving The Bowen-York Initial Data For Spinning Black Holes, Reinaldo J. Gleiser, Carlos O. Nicasio, Richard H. Price, Jorge Pullin

Faculty Publications

The Bowen-York initial value data typically used in numerical relativity to represent a spinning black hole are not those of a constant-time slice of the Kerr spacetime. If Bowen-York initial data are used for each black hole in a collision, the emitted radiation will be partially due to the “relaxation” of the individual holes to Kerr form. We compute this radiation by treating the geometry for a single hole as a perturbation of a Schwarzschild black hole, and by using second order perturbation theory. We discuss the extent to which Bowen-York data can be expected accurately to represent Kerr holes. …


Patterns On Liquid Surfaces: Cnoidal Waves, Compactons And Scaling, A. Ludu, J. P. Draayer Jan 1998

Patterns On Liquid Surfaces: Cnoidal Waves, Compactons And Scaling, A. Ludu, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

Localized patterns and nonlinear oscillation formations on the bounded free surface of an ideal incompressible liquid are investigated. Cnoidal modes, solitons and compactons, as traveling non-axially symmetric shapes are discussed. A finite-difference differential generalized Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is shown to describe the three-dimensional motion of the fluid surface, and in the limit of long and shallow channels one recovers the well-known KdV equation. A tentative expansion formula for the representation of the general solution of a nonlinear equation, for given initial conditions is introduced. The model is useful in multilayer fluid dynamics, cluster formation, and nuclear physics since, up …


Complementary Group Resolution Of The Su(N) Outer Multiplicity Problem. I. The Littlewood Rules And A Complementary U(2n-2) Group Structure, Feng Pan, J. P. Draayer Jan 1998

Complementary Group Resolution Of The Su(N) Outer Multiplicity Problem. I. The Littlewood Rules And A Complementary U(2n-2) Group Structure, Feng Pan, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

A complementary group to SU(n) is found that realizes all features of the Littlewood rules for Kronecker products of SU(n) representations. This is accomplished by considering a state of SU(n) to be a special Gel'fand state of the complementary group U(2n-2) with labels of the latter used to distinguish multiple occurrences of irreducible representations of SU(n) (irreps) in the SU(n)×SU(n)↓SU(n) decomposition that is obtained from the Littlewood rules. Furthermore, this realization also helps us to determine SU(n)⊃SU(n - 1) × U(1) Reduced Wigner Coefficients (RWCs, frequently called Isoscalar Factors) and Clebsch-Gordan Coefficients [CGCs, or full (nonreduced) Wigner Coefficients] of SU(n), …


Nonlinear Modes Of Liquid Drops As Solitary Waves, A. Ludu, J. P. Draayer Jan 1998

Nonlinear Modes Of Liquid Drops As Solitary Waves, A. Ludu, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

The nonlinear dynamic equations of the surface of a liquid drop are shown to be directly connected to Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) systems, giving traveling solutions that are cnoidal waves. They generate multiscale patterns ranging from small harmonic oscillations (linearized model), to nonlinear oscillations, up through solitary waves. These non-axis-symmetric localized shapes are also described by a KdV Hamiltonian system. Recently such “rotons” were observed experimentally when the shape oscillations of a droplet became nonlinear. The results apply to droplike systems from cluster formation to stellar models, including hyperdeformed nuclei and fission. © 1998 The American Physical Society.


Wavelets And Quantum Algebras, A. Ludu, M. Greiner, J. P. Draayer Jan 1998

Wavelets And Quantum Algebras, A. Ludu, M. Greiner, J. P. Draayer

Faculty Publications

Wavelets, known to be useful in nonlinear multiscale processes and in multiresolution analysis, are shown to have a q-deformed algebraic structure. The translation and dilation operators associate to any scaling equation a nonlinear, two parameter algebra. This structure can be mapped onto the quantum group slq(2) in one limit, and approaches a Fourier series generating algebra, in another limit. A duality between any scaling function and its corresponding nonlinear algebra is obtained. Examples for the Haar and B-wavelets are worked out in detail. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
