Part I. The Cosmological Vacuum from a Topological Perspective
R. M. Kiehn
This article examines how the physical presence of field energy and particulate matter can be interpreted in terms of the topological properties of space-time. The theory is develo…
Turbulence and the Navier-Stokes equations
R. M. Kiehn
The concept of continuous topological evolution, based upon Cartan's methods of exterior differential systems, is used to develop a topological theory of non-equilibrium thermodyna…
Thermodynamics and quantum cosmology -- Continuous topological evolution of topologically coherent defects
R. M. Kiehn
As a point of departure it is suggested that Quantum Cosmology is a topological concept independent from metrical constraints. Methods of continuous topological evolution and topol…
A topological theory of the Physical Vacuum
R. M. Kiehn
This article examines how the physical presence of field energy and particulate matter could influence the topological properties of space time. The theory is developed in terms of…
Instability patterns, wakes and topological limnit sets
R. M. Kiehn
Many hydrodynamic instability patterns can be put into correspondence with a subset of characteristic surfaces of tangential discontinuities. These topological limits sets to syste…
Topology and Turbulence
R. M. Kiehn
Over a given regular domain of independent variables {x,y,z,t}, every covariant vector field of flow can be constructed in terms a differential 1-form of Action. The associated Car…
