Mechanics and Equilibrium Geometry of Black Holes, Membranes, and Strings
Brandon Carter
This course is designed to give a mathematically coherent introduction to the classical thory of black holes and also of strings and membranes (which are like the horizon of a blac…
Symplectic Structure in Brane Mechanics
Brandon Carter
This article treats the generalisation to brane dynamics of the covariant canonical variational procedure leading to the construction of a conserved bilinear symplectic current in…
Quasi gravity in branes
Brandon Carter
In contrast with pseudo-gravitational effects that are mathematically analogous but physically quite distinct from gravity, this presentation deals with a kind of quasi-gravitation…
Regularisation of classical self interaction in strings
Brandon Carter
A general method of regularisation of classical self interaction in strings is extended from the electromagnetic case (for which it was originally developed) to the gravitation cas…
Brane dynamics for treatment of cosmic strings and vortons
Brandon Carter
This course provides a self contained introduction to the general theory of relativistic brane models, of the category that includes point particle, string, and membrane representa…
Dynamics of Cosmic Strings and other Brane models
Brandon Carter
The supporting worldsheet of a string, membrane, or other higher dimensional brane, is analysed in terms of its first, second, and third fundamental tensors, and its inner and oute…
