A group-theoretic characterisation of Taub-Nut spacetime
Schiden Yohannes, Domenico Giulini
We prove that any symmetric spacetime that is Ricci flat (i.e. solves the matter-free Einstein equations) with non-null -orbits is locally isometric t…
Classical perspectives on the Newton--Wigner position observable
Philip K. Schwartz, Domenico Giulini
This paper deals with the Newton--Wigner position observable for Poincaré-invariant classical systems. We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for elementary systems that para…
Laue's Theorem Revisited: Energy-Momentum Tensors, Symmetries, and the Habitat of Globally Conserved Quantities
Domenico Giulini
The energy-momentum tensor for a particular matter component summarises its local energy-momentum distribution in terms of densities and current densities. We re-investigate under…
Energy-Momentum Tensors and Motion in Special Relativity
Domenico Giulini
The notions of "motion" and "conserved quantities", if applied to extended objects, are already quite non-trivial in Special Relativity. This contribution is meant to remind us on…
The Rich Structure of Minkowski Space
Domenico Giulini
Minkowski Space is the simplest four-dimensional Lorentzian Manifold, being topologically trivial and globally flat, and hence the simplest model of spacetime--from a General-Relat…
Mapping-class groups of 3-manifolds in canonical quantum gravity
Domenico Giulini
Mapping-class groups of 3-manifolds feature as symmetry groups in canonical quantum gravity. They are an obvious source through which topological information could be transmitted i…
