Rational Points and Arithmetic of Fundamental Groups
Evidence for the Section Conjecture
Language: English
Release Date: October 19, 2012
The section conjecture in anabelian geometry, announced by Grothendieck in 1983, is concerned with a description of the set of rational points of a hyperbolic algebraic curve over a number field in terms of the arithmetic of its fundamental group. While the conjecture is still open today in 2012,...
Teleparallel Gravity
An Introduction
Language: English
Release Date: August 10, 2012
Teleparallel Gravity (TG) is an alternative theory for gravitation, which is equivalent to General Relativity (GR). However, it is conceptually different. For example in GR geometry replaces the concept of force, and the trajectories are determined by geodesics. TG attributes gravitation to torsion,...
