Cosmic inflation posits that the universe underwent a period of exponential expansion, driven by one or several quantum fields, shortly after the Big Bang. Renormalization requires the fields be non-minimally coupled to gravity. We examine such multifield models and find a rich geometric structure. After a conformal transformation of spacetime, the target field-space acquires non-trivial curvature. We explore two main consequences. First, we construct a field-space covariant framework to study quantum perturbations, extending prior work beyond the slow-roll approximation by working on the full phase space of the theory. Secondly, we show that a wide class of inflationary models can be understood as a geodesic motion on a suitably related manifold. Our geometric approach provides great insight into the (classical) field dynamics, and we have used them to compute non-gaussianities in the cosmic microwave background radiation spectrum.

Full textWe examine the differential geometry of the Fermat Quartic surface X4/0+X4/3-X4/1-X4/2 = 0 in CP^3 with induced Fubini-Study metric. We show that the differential equations of geodesics, when restricted to the real Fermat quartic surface inside the full complex quartic, can be reduced to two non-linear differential equations with rational coefficients along especially chosen geodesics. This simplification opens up the possibility of parametrizing these geodesics in terms of genus three Abelian integrals and their inversions. Furthermore the identity component of the differential Galois group of normal variational equation, derived from the geodesic equation along one of these selected curves, is SL(2,C). By Morales-Ramis theory the Hamiltonian system defining the geodesic equations is not integrable in a neighborhood of this solution by meromorphic integrals.

Full textA intenÃÃo desse trabalho serà de abordar de forma bÃsica e introdutÃria o estudo da Geometria Diferencial, que por sua vez tem seus estudos iniciados com as Curvas Planas. Serà necessÃrio um conhecimento de CÃlculo Diferencial, Integral e Geometria AnalÃtica para melhor compreensÃo desse trabalho, pois como seu prÃprio nome nos transparece Geometria Diferencial vem de uma junÃÃo do estudo da Geometria envolvendo CÃlculo. Assim abordaremos subtemas como curvas suaves, vetor tangente, comprimento de arco passando por fÃrmulas de Frenet, curvas evolutas e involutas e finalizaremos com alguns teoremas importantes, como o teorema fundamental das curvas planas, teorema de Jordan e o teorema dos quatro vÃrtices. O que, basicamente representa, o capÃtulo 1, 4 e 6 do livro IntroduÃÃo Ãs Curvas Planas de HilÃrio Alencar e Walcy Santos.
The intention of this work is to address in basic form and introductory study of Differential Geometry, which in turn has started his studies with Planas curves. It will require a knowledge of Differential Calculus, Integral and Analytic Geometry for better understanding of this work, because as its name says in Differential Geometry comes from the joint study of geometry involving Calculation. So we discuss sub-themes as smooth curves, tangent vector, arc length through formulas of Frenet, evolutas curves and involute and conclude with some important theorems, as the fundamental theorem of plane curves, Jordan 's theorem and the theorem of four vertices. What basically is, Chapter 1, 4 and 6 of the book Introduction to Plane Curves HilÃrio Alencar and Walcy Santos.

Resumo: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo estudar o Método do Referencial Móvel de Cartan aplicado a curvas, através de diversos exemplos, desde problemas simples, passando por publicações dos anos 60 e 70 até artigos recentes. Embora existam teorias gerais para encontrar referenciais de Cartan, optamos por estudar uma forma um pouco mais "artesanal" de construção dos referenciais móveis; a ênfase está na absorção das variadas técnicas e intuições que se adaptam a cada geometria
Abstract: The aim of this work is to present the Cartan's Moving Frame Method applied to curves, through several examples, starting with simple problems, going through publications of the 60's, 70's, and up to recent results. Although there are general theories for finding Cartan's moving frames, we chose to study a slightly more "handcraft" way of building the required moving frame; the emphasis being on the absorption of the different techniques and intuitive understanding adapted to each geometry

This thesis presents a robust method for evaluating differential geometry properties of sculptured surfaces by using a validated ordinary differential equation (ODE) system solver based on interval arithmetic. Iso-contouring of curvature of a Bezier surface patch. computation of curvature lines of a Bezier surface patch and computation of geodesics of a Bezier surface patch are computed by the Validated Numerical Ordinary Differential Equations (VNODE) solver which employs rounded interval arithmetic methods. Then. the results generated from the VNODE program are compared with the results from Praxiteles code which uses non-validated ODE solvers operating in double precision floating point arithmetic for the solution of the same problems. From the results of these experiments, we find that the VNODE program performs these computations reliably, but at increased computational cost.
