Symmetries of fluid dynamics with polytropic exponent

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-08-15 v5

Abstract

The symmetries of the general Euler equations of fluid dynamics with polytropic exponent are determined using the Kaluza-Klein type framework of Duval et al\it{al}. In the standard polytropic case the recent results of O'Raifeartaigh and Sreedhar are confirmed and generalized. Similar results are proved for polytropic exponent γ=1\gamma=-1, which corresponds to the dimensional reduction of dd-branes. The relation between the duality transformation used in describing supernova explosion and Cosmology is explained.
