Chern-Simons theory and three-dimensional surfaces
Jemal Guven
There are two natural Chern-Simons theories associated with the embedding of a three-dimensional surface in Euclidean space; one is constructed using the induced metric connection…
Hamiltonian dynamics of extended objects
Riccardo Capovilla, Jemal Guven, Efrain Rojas
We consider a relativistic extended object described by a reparametrization invariant local action that depends on the extrinsic curvature of the worldvolume swept out by the objec…
Hamiltonian Frenet-Serret dynamics
Riccardo Capovilla, Jemal Guven, Efrain Rojas
The Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics of a relativistic particle described by a higher-derivative action that depends both on the first and the second Frenet-Serret curvature…
ADM Worldvolume Geometry
Riccardo Capovilla, Jemal Guven, Efrain Rojas
We describe the dynamics of a relativistic extended object in terms of the geometry of a configuration of constant time. This involves an adaptation of the ADM formulation of canon…
Noether Currents for Bosonic Branes
Guillermo Arreaga, Riccardo Capovilla, Jemal Guven
We consider a relativistic brane propagating in Minkowski spacetime described by any action which is local in its worldvolume geometry. We examine the conservation laws associated…
