Gravitation, gauge theories and differential geometry

T Eguchi, PB Gilkey, AJ Hanson - Physics reports, 1980 - Elsevier
Advances in mathematics and physics have often occurred together. The development of
Newton's theory of mechanics and the simultaneous development of the techniques of …

Kaluza-klein supergravity

MJ Duff, BEW Nilsson, CN Pope - Physics Reports, 1986 - Elsevier
Review articles tend to fall into two categories: either they are unbiased and comprehensive
with a list of references including every paper on the subject; or else they are selective …

[图书][B] Einstein manifolds

AL Besse - 2007 - books.google.com
Einstein's equations stem from General Relativity. In the context of Riemannian manifolds,
an independent mathematical theory has developed around them. Recently, it has produced …

[PDF][PDF] The self-duality equations on a Riemann surface

NJ Hitchin - Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, 1987 - Citeseer
In this paper we shall study a special class of solutions of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations.
The original self-duality equations which arose in mathematical physics were defined on …

[PDF][PDF] Curvatures of left invariant metrics on Lie groups

J Milnor - 1976 - dspace.kottakkalfarookcollege.edu …
When studying relationships between curvature of a complete Riemannian manifold and
other topological or geometric properties, it is useful to have many examples. This paper will …

A new proof of the positive energy theorem

E Witten - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1981 - Springer
A new proof is given of the positive energy theorem of classical general relativity. Also, a
new proof is given that there are no asymptotically Euclidean gravitational instantons.(These …

Gravitational anomalies

L Alvarez-Gaume, E Witten - Nuclear Physics B, 1984 - Elsevier
It is shown that in certain parity-violating theories in 4k+ 2 dimensions, general covariance is
spoiled by anomalies at the one-loop level. This occurs when Weyl fermions of spin-1 2 or-3 …

[图书][B] The geometry of four-manifolds

SK Donaldson, PB Kronheimer - 1997 - books.google.com
The last ten years have seen rapid advances in the understanding of differentiable four-
manifolds, not least of which has been the discovery of new'exotic'manifolds. These results …

[图书][B] Partial differential relations

M Gromov - 2013 - books.google.com
The classical theory of partial differential equations is rooted in physics, where equations
(are assumed to) describe the laws of nature. Law abiding functions, which satisfy such an …
