Masters Essay subject/project |
Am considering doing a Masters essay(3 credits...so less than half a
Masters thesis),
but need to come up with a suitable topic with which to make an
initial presentation to
some hesitant professors who already have enough work to do. Looking
for something
to do with topology, differential geometry, algebraic topology, all of
which have taken
the basic courses for, but of course none of which am really
conversant in.
More specifically, something along the lines of mathematical physics,
ie
spacetime structure, relativity, ricci tensors, etc. Would appreciate
any ideas
or any referrals.

Why not write an essay about Androcles, the Sorcerer and
Hexenmeister relativist and rotationally revolving genius:
http://www.androcles01.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Start with the DIVISION BY ZERO ERROR,
then proceed to the COCOO TRANSFORMATIONS,
going further to SAGNAC IDIOCY and finally
arrive at DECEPTION.

Helmut, great animations, will take a while to go through all those.
Thanks for the reply! best....athan

Poincaré dodecahedral space
OR
E8--the Exceptionally simple group.
Both are hot topics.

"Topological Lensing in Simply Connected Spherical Space" John
Bailey 2005
" ... this article seeks to show that an evolving and expanding,
simply connected hyper-spheric universe embedded in 4D space will
produce illusory images of sources as they evolve over time within the
space. ... A method for statistical analysis is sketched. The
distribution of sources versus red shift provides a basis for
detecting the implicit periodicity of the space, and hence its
characteristic size."

Uzan, Jeffrey Weeks 2001

"As emphasized by many authors (see e.g. [10, 11, 12, 13] for
reviews), the key idea is to detect the topology in a
three?dimensional data set is the topological lens effect, i.e.
....
First we give a mathematical description of all spherical spaces,
which have been overlooked in the literature on cosmology. This
provides the required mathematical background for
applying statistical methods to detect the topology:..."

( do a Google search: Lisi E8
As long as a 3 credit essay doesn't have to be too formal, a survey of
geometric models of closed universes can cover a lot of ground.
Lisi's work has a lot of web material but is harder to gain traction
with.
Good luck! Send us a copy of your essay. (post a URL on this ng)

Given that sci.physics is an overflowing toilet of hapless, hopeless
Einstein debunkers... why not diddle the classical disjoint slim
sliver between metric gravitation and affine (Einstein-Cartan)
gravitation?
http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/lajos.htm#a9
1) Is the derivation rigorous and true as stated?
2) Is the last paragraph true as stated?
"Term 5 obtains a parity-violating term that drops out for pure
gravitation. Free field equations with the preceding Lagrangian will
be identical to those for ordinary General Relativity. One of the
Lagrangian-derived equations will be (torsion = 0). Einstein-Cartan
and General Relativity are identical in the absence of matter - even
with addition of a parity-violating term to the Lagrangian.
Einstein-Cartan theory is overall only defined with 4 and maybe 6.
Term 5 acts when gravitation is combined with matter - a mass sector
parity divergence empirically falsifying General Relativity. The
parity calorimetry experiment tests for coupling with Term 5."
3) Is Term 5 then testable with opposite parity mass distributions?

..... ahahaha... So, Al, "Given that sci.physics is an overflowing
toilet" why then are you daily playing in it?
Do you have a fec-Al compulsion to do so?
..... ahahaha....So, Al, it appears now that YOU are one of
those "hapless, hopeless Einstein debunkers"...since
you yourself said more than once:
< http://groups.google.com/group/sci.physics/msg/fbf6bb0730c970ed >
::Al:: 2a) General Relativity is falsified ....
::Al:: 2b) perturbative string theory is falsified... ahahaha...
..... thus the question arises, since you often stated that you
are an elitist, why then have not your cronies in
sci.physics.research taken up your cause & banner?
Al, your hurt over your latest failure must be really hard,
that you must beg a M.Sc candidate for help, who is so
hapless that he doesn't even know the focus of his own
interests yet. Al, you are really grasping for straws now...
ahahaha...
Al, listen, years ago you had you tune right, when you posed
the simple question, paraphrasing, " The limit where F=m*a
no longer applies may be experimentally approached with/thru
the properties of Chirality in crystals".... But then you stirred
and stirred & covered it up with more and more of your *****...
and now you are upto your eyeballs in it... ahahaha... and your
ever more shitty story did beget ever louder laughs... ahahaha....
Thanks for those laughs, old pal... ahahaha.... ahahahanson
