We focus the analysis on eleven dimensional spacetimes, where the seven dimensional extra dimensions are compactified. In particular, and due to the importance that global vector fields play within the conceptual body of teleparallel modified gravity models, we consider the additional dimensions to be products of parallelizable spheres. The global vector fields characterizing the different topologies are obtained, as well as the equations of motion associated to them. Using global dynamical system techniques, we discuss some physical consequences arising because of the existence of the extra dimensions. In particular, the possibility of having an early inflationary epoch driven by the presence of extra dimensions without other matter sources is discussed. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.100.084007 I.

  • Exotic Spheres That Bound Parallelizable Manifolds
    MATH 465, LECTURE 22: EXOTIC SPHERES THAT BOUND PARALLELIZABLE MANIFOLDS J. FRANCIS, NOTES BY H. TANAKA Our goal is to understand Θn, the group of exotic n-spheres. The group operation is connect sum, where clearly the connect sum of two topological spheres is again a topological sphere. We'll write this by M]M 0. There is a cobordism M]M 0 to M ` M 0, given by the surgery we perform on M and M 0 to obtain the connect sum. This is because 0 a 0 1 M]M = @1(M M × [0; 1] + φ ): We've shown that any exotic sphere is stably parallelizable, in that we can always direct sum a trivial line bundle to the tangent bundle to obtain a trivial vector bundle. fr If we consider the set of framed exotic n-spheres, Θn , we can consider the Pontrjagin construction fr fr Θn !

  • Integrably Parallelizable Manifolds Vagn Lundsgaard Hansen
    proceedings of the american mathematical society Volume 35, Number 2, October 1972 INTEGRABLY PARALLELIZABLE MANIFOLDS VAGN LUNDSGAARD HANSEN Abstract. A smooth manifold M" is called integrably parallel- izable if there exists an atlas for the smooth structure on Mn such that all differentials in overlap between charts are equal to the identity map of the model for M". We show that the class of con- nected, integrably parallelizable, «-dimensional smooth manifolds consists precisely of the open parallelizable manifolds and manifolds diffeomorphic to the /i-torus. 1. Introduction. In this note Mn is an «-dimensional, paracompact smooth manifold without boundary, and G is an arbitrary subgroup of the general linear group Gl(«, R) on Rn. Definition. M" is called G-reducible if the structural group of the tangent bundle for Mn can be reduced from Gl(«, R) to G. Mn is called integrably G-reducible if there exists an atlas {((/„ 6()} for the smooth structure on Mn such that the differential in overlap between charts (0¿ o ÖJ1)^ belongs to G for all x e B^UiCMJ,)^ Rn and all /, j in the index set for the atlas. It is clear that an integrably G-reducible manifold is G-reducible and therefore the following problem naturally arises. Problem. Classify for a given G those G-reducible manifolds which are integrably G-reducible. Let us illustrate this problem with two examples. Example 1. Let G=0(n) be the orthogonal group. Any manifold Mn is 0(/7)-reducible, since it admits a Riemannian metric. On the other hand it is easy to see that M" is integrably 0(«)-reducible if and only if it admits a flat Riemannian metric.

  • Parallelizable Manifolds and the Fundamental Group
    PARALLELIZABLE MANIFOLDS AND THE FUNDAMENTAL GROUP F. E. A. JOHNSON AND J. P. WALTON §0. Introduction. Low-dimensional topology is dominated by the funda- mental group. However, since every finitely presented group is the funda- mental group of some closed 4-manifold, it is often stated that the effective influence of nx ends in dimension three. This is not quite true, however, and there are some interesting border disputes. In this paper, we show that, by imposing the extra condition of parallelizability on the tangent bundle, the dominion of it\ is extended by an extra dimension. First, we prove THEOREM A. For each n^5, any finitely presented group may occur as the fundamental group of a smooth closed parallelizable n-manifold. The proof may be compared with the usual proof that all finitely presented groups are realized as fundamental groups of closed 4-manifolds, but is never- theless more delicate, because of the need to avoid the obstruction to paralleliz- ability. In dimension 4, the obstruction cannot be avoided. In fact, a smooth closed almost parallelizable manifold M4 is parallelizable when both its signa- ture Sign(M) and Euler characteristic x(M) vanish. In particular, the van- ishing of the Euler characteristic severely restricts the groups which can occur as fundamental groups of smooth closed parallelizable 4-manifolds. In fact, for many fundamental groups the Euler characteristic bounds the signature (see, for example, [4], [16]), but the relationship is neither universal nor straightforward. To describe our results, it helps to partition the class of finitely presented groups as n(4)uC(4), where 11(4) is the class of fundamental groups of smooth closed parallelizable 4-manifolds, and C(4) is the complementary class.

    Teleparallelism as anholonomic geometry D. H. Delphenich Spring Valley, OH 45370 e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. – The geometry of parallelizable manifolds is presented from the standpoint of regarding it as conventional (e.g., Euclidian or Minkowskian) geometry, when it is described with respect to an anholonomic frame field that is defined on the space in question. 1. Introduction. – When one considers the era (1905-16) in which Einstein first developed his theory of relativity, and the somewhat-heuristic line of reasoning that led him to its final form [ 1], one must always ask the deeper question of whether that final form was the only one possible or simply the best-possible model in the context of that era. In particular, the dominant approach to the geometry of curved spaces at the time was Riemannian geometry, which was communicated to Einstein by his friend Marcel Grossmann. In a nutshell, Riemannian geometry is based in a metric tensor field and a metric connection with vanishing torsion that the metric defines. In the decades that followed, many alternatives to Riemannian geometry were explored, all with their own successes and failures. For instance, Hermann Weyl considered extending beyond metric connections into the realm of conformal Lorentzian geometry [ 2], and Élie Cartan developed the theory of spaces with non-vanishing torsion [3], which later formed the basis for the work of Dennis Sciama [ 4] and Thomas Kibble [5] on extending the Einstein equations to space-times with torsion, which spawned a host of subsequent research on that topic. There were also attempts to extend the scope of general relativity (i.e., gravity as a manifestation of the geometry of space-time) to higher-dimensional manifolds in the hopes of unifying Einstein’s equations for gravitation with Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism, such as the attempts of Theodor Kaluza [ 6] and Oskar Klein [ 7].

  • String Theory on Parallelizable Pp-Waves and Work out the Bosonic and Fermionic String Spectrum (In the Light-Cone Gauge)
    SU-ITP-03/05 SLAC-PUB-9713 hep-th/0304169 String Theory on Parallelizable PP-Waves Darius Sadri1,2 and M. M. Sheikh-Jabbari1 1Department of Physics, Stanford University 382 via Pueblo Mall, Stanford CA 94305-4060, USA 2Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford CA 94309, USA [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The most general parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds which are non-dilatonic solutions in the NS-NS sector of type IIA and IIB string theories are considered. We demonstrate that parallelizable pp-wave backgrounds are necessarily homogeneous plane-waves, and that a arXiv:hep-th/0304169v4 11 Jun 2003 large class of homogeneous plane-waves are parallelizable, stating the necessary conditions. Such plane-waves can be classified according to the number of preserved supersymmetries. In type IIA, these include backgrounds preserving 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 supercharges, while in the IIB case they preserve 16, 20, 24 or 28 supercharges. An intriguing property of paral- lelizable pp-wave backgrounds is that the bosonic part of these solutions are invariant under T-duality, while the number of supercharges might change under T-duality. Due to their α′ exactness, they provide interesting backgrounds for studying string theory. Quantization of string modes, their compactification and behaviour under T-duality are studied. In addition, we consider BPS Dp-branes, and show that these Dp-branes can be classified in terms of the locations of their world volumes with respect to the background H-field. 1 Introduction More than a decade ago it was argued that pp-waves provide us with solutions of supergravity which are α′-exact [1].

  • Smooth Homology Spheres and Their Fundamental Groups
    SMOOTH HOMOLOGY SPHERES AND THEIR FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS BY MICHEL A. KERVAIRE Let Mn be a smooth homology «-sphere, i.e. a smooth «-dimensional manifold such that H^(Mn)^H^(Sn). The fundamental group n of M satisfies the following three conditions: (1) 77has a finite presentation, (2) Hx(n)=0, (3) H2(n)=0, where Hfa) denotes the ith homology group of 77with coefficients in the trivial Z7r-module Z. Properties (1) and (2) are trivial and (3) follows from the theorem of Hopf [2] which asserts that H2(tt) = H2(M)jpn2(M), where p denotes the Hurewicz homomorphism. For « > 4 we will prove the following converse Theorem 1. Let -n be a group satisfying the conditions (1), (2) and (3) above, and let n be an integer greater than 4. Then, there exists a smooth manifold Mn such that H*(Mn)^H*(Sn) and7TX(M)^tr. The proof is very similar to the proof used for the characterization of higher knot groups in [5].

ON MANIFOLDS WITH TRIVIAL LOGARITHMIC TANGENT BUNDLE: THE NON-KAHLER¨ CASE. JORG¨ WINKELMANN Abstract. We study non-K¨ahler manifolds with trivial logarith- mic tangent bundle. We show that each such manifold arises as a fiber bundle with a compact complex parallelizable manifold as basis and a toric variety as fiber. 1. Introduction By a classical result of Wang [11] a connected compact complex manifold X has holomorphically trivial tangent bundle if and only if there is a connected complex Lie group G and a discrete subgroup Γ such that X is biholomorphic to the quotient manifold G/Γ. In particular X is homogeneous. If X is K¨ahler, G must be commutative and the quotient manifold G/Γ is a compact complex torus. Given a divisor D on a compact complex manifold X¯, we can define the sheaf of logarithmic differential forms.
