We discuss what is light-cone quantization on a curved spacetime also without a null Killing vector. Then we consider as an example the light-cone quantization of a scalar field on a background with a Killing vector and the connection with…
As quotient spaces, Minkowski and de Sitter are fundamental, non-gravitational spacetimes for the construction of physical theories. When general relativity is constructed on a de Sitter spacetime, the usual Riemannian structure is replaced…
The $L_{p}$ Gaussian Minkowski problem for $C$-pseudo-cones is studied in this paper, and the existence and uniqueness results are established. This extends our previous work on the Minkowski problem for $C$-pseudo-cones with respect to the…
General relativity can be formally derived as a flat spacetime theory, but the consistency of the resulting curved metric's light cone with the flat metric's null cone has not been adequately considered. If the two are inconsistent, then…
The purpose in this paper is to study the maximal hypersurfaces with multiple light-cones in Lorentz-Minkowski space by considering the weak solutions to the mean curvature equation with multiple Dirac masses. Such solutions are constructed…
We prove that every continuous map acting on the four-dimensional Minkowski space and preserving light cones in one direction only is either a Poincar\'e similarity, that is, a product of a Lorentz transformation and a dilation, or it is of…
We prove existence and uniqueness of solution of a class of semi-linear wave equations with initial data prescribed on the light-cone with vertex the origin of a Minkowski space-time. The nonlinear term is assumed to satisfy a nullity…
We quantize in light cone gauge the bosonic sector of string theory on Anti-de Sitter space in the zero curvature radius limit. We find that the worldsheet falls apart into a theory of free partons and map the Hilbert space of the string…
In this paper we have studied the ideas of I-divergence and I*-divergence of sequences in cone metric spaces. We have investigated the relationship between I-divergence and I*-divergence and their equivalence under certain condition.…
In a space-time, a conformal structure is defined by the distribution of light-cones. Geodesics are traced by freely falling particles, and the collection of all unparameterized geodesics determines the projective structure of the…
We develop a coordinate version of light-cone-ordered perturbation theory, for general time-ordered products of fields, by carrying out integrals over one light-cone coordinate for each interaction vertex. The resulting expressions depend…
By definition a spacetime is stably causal if it is possible to widen the light cones all over the spacetime without spoiling causality. We prove that if the spacetime is at least non-total imprisoning then it is stably causal provided the…
A spacelike surface in four-dimensional Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime through the lightcone has a meaningful lightlike normal vector field $\eta$. Several sufficient assumptions on such a surface with non-degenerate $\eta$-second fundamental…
A general integral inequality is established for compact spacelike submanifolds of codimension two in the Lorentz-Minkowski spacetime under the assumption that the mean curvature vector field is parallel. This inequality is then used to…
We prove existence of solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations with initial data induced by a smooth metric on a light-cone.
We review the development of light-cone-ordered perturbation theory in coordinate space (C-LCOPT). Compared to light-cone-ordered perturbation theory in momentum space (LCOPT), the role of intermediate states in LCOPT is played in C-LCOPT…
In this paper, we prove an isoperimetric inequality for the domain of dependence of a finite lightcone in the Minkowski spacetime of dimension greater than or equal to 3. The inequality involves two quantities: the volume of the domain of…
We study the light ray transform on Minkowski space-time and its small metric perturbations acting on scalar functions which are solutions to wave equations. We show that the light ray transform uniquely determines the function in a stable…
Energy conditions are attempts to summarise the properties of realistic descriptions of matter via constraints on the energy-momentum tensor. This is, for example, useful when one wants to understand the types of spacetime geometry that can…
In this paper, we extend a fixed point theorem due to Ciric to a cone metric space.
