Authors: Massimo Pauri and Michele Vallisneri Comments: LaTeX, natbib, 34 pages. To be published in the Roberto Torretti Festschrift, Dialogos (2002) \\ For the past two decades, Einstein's Hole Argument (which deals with the apparent indeterminateness of general relativity due to the general covariance of the field equations) and its resolution in terms of Leibniz equivalence (the statement that Riemannian geometries related by active diffeomorphisms represent the same physical solution) have been the starting point for a lively philosophical debate on the objectivity of the point-events of space-time. It seems that Leibniz equivalence makes it impossible to consider the points of the space-time manifold as physically individuated without recourse to dynamical individuating fields. Various authors have posited that the metric field itself can be used in this way, but nobody so far has considered the problem of explicitly distilling the metrical fingerprint of point-events from the gauge-dependent components of the metric field. Working in the Hamiltonian formulation of general relativity, and building on the results of Lusanna and Pauri (2002), we show how Bergmann and Komar's intrinsic pseudo-coordinates (based on the value of curvature invariants) can be used to provide a physical individuation of point-events in terms of the true degrees of freedom (the Dirac observables) of the gravitational field, and we suggest how this conceptual individuation could in principle be implemented with a well-defined empirical procedure. We argue from these results that point-events retain a significant kind of physical objectivity. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0203014 , 36kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper: gr-qc/0203015 From: Reg Cahill Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 04:41:44 GMT (48kb) Title: Process Physics: From Quantum Foam to General Relativity Authors: Reginald T. Cahill Comments: 26 pages Latex, 1 separate eps file \\ Progress in the new information-theoretic process physics is reported in which the link to the phenomenology of general relativity is made. In process physics the fundamental assumption is that reality is to be modelled as self-organising semantic (or internal or relational) information using a self-referentially limited neural network model. Previous progress in process physics included the demonstration that space and quantum physics are emergent and unified, with time a distinct non-geometric process, that quantum phenomena are caused by fractal topological defects embedded in and forming a growing three-dimensional fractal process-space, which is essentially a quantum foam. Other features of the emergent physics were: quantum field theory with emergent flavour and confined colour, limited causality and the Born quantum measurement metarule, inertia, time-dilation effects, gravity and the equivalence principle, a growing universe with a cosmological constant, black holes and event horizons, and the emergence of classicality. Here general relativity and the technical language of general covariance is seen not to be fundamental but a phenomenological construct, arising as an amalgam of two distinct phenomena: the `gravitational' characteristics of the emergent quantum foam for which `matter' acts as a sink, and the classical `spacetime' measurement protocol, but with the later violated by quantum measurement processes. Quantum gravity, as manifested in the emergent Quantum Homotopic Field Theory of the process-space or quantum foam, is logically prior to the emergence of the general relativity phenomenology, and cannot be derived from it. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0203015 , 48kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper: gr-qc/0203016 From: Sawa Manoff Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2002 10:20:39 GMT (30kb) Title: Mechanics of Continuous Media in $(\bar{L}_n,g)$-spaces. I. Introduction and mathematical tools Authors: Sawa Manoff Comments: 34 pages, LaTeX \\ Basic notions and mathematical tools in continuum media mechanics are recalled. The notion of exponent of a covariant differential operator is introduced and on its basis the geometrical interpretation of the curvature and the torsion in $(\bar{L}_n,g)$-spaces is considered. The Hodge (star) operator is generalized for $(\bar{L}_n,g)$-spaces. The kinematic characteristics of a flow are outline in brief.

Israel, W. Hummel, S. Covino, S. Campana, I. Appenzeller, W. Gassler, K.-H. Mantel, G. Marconi, C.W. Mauche, U. Munari, I. Negueruela, H. Nicklas, G. Rupprecht, R.L. Smart, O. Stahl, L. Stella Comments: Accepted for publication on A&A Letters \\ We carried out optical observations of the field of the X-ray pulsator RXJ0806.3+1527. A blue V=21.1 star was found to be the only object consistent with the X-ray position. VLT FORS spectra revealed a blue continuum with no intrinsic absorption lines. Broad (v~1500 km/s), low equivalent width (about -1/-6A) emission lines from the HeII Pickering series were clearly detected. B, V and R time-resolved photometry revealed the presence of about 15% pulsations at the 321s X-ray period, confirming the identification. These findings, together with the period stability and absence of any additional modulation in the 1min-5hr period range, argue in favour of the orbital interpretation of the 321s pulsations. The most likely scenario is thus that RXJ0806.3+1527 is a double degenerate system of the AM CVn class. This would make RXJ0806.3+1527 the shortest orbital period binary currently known and one of the best candidates for gravitational wave detection. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0203043 , 115kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper (*cross-listing*): hep-th/0203003 From: Amir Masoud Ghezelbash Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 22:14:05 GMT (26kb) Title: Vortices in De Sitter Spacetimes Authors: A.M. Ghezelbash, R.B. Mann Comments: 11 pages, 5 figures Report-no: WATPPHYS-TH02/02 \\ We investigate vortex solutions to the Abelian Higgs field equations in a four dimensional de Sitter spacetime background. We obtain both static and dynamic solutions with axial symmetry that are generalizations of the Nielsen-Olesen gauge vortices in flat spacetime. The static solution is located in the static patch of de Sitter space. We numerically solve the field equations in an inflationary (big bang) patch and find a time dependent vortex soution. We show that the effect of the vortex is to create a deficit angle in the spacetime. We comment on the relationship of these solutions to their anti de Sitter counterparts, and on their possible holographic interpretation. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/hep-th/0203003 , 26kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper (*cross-listing*): hep-th/0203013 From: Patrick Peter Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 18:04:07 GMT (261kb) Title: Primordial perturbations in a non singular bouncing universe model Authors: Patrick Peter (IAP) and Nelson Pinto-Neto (CBPF) Comments: 11 pages, RevTeX 4, 8 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev. D \\ We construct a simple non singular cosmological model in which the currently observed expansion phase was preceded by a contraction. This is achieved, in the framework of pure general relativity, by means of a radiation fluid and a free scalar field having negative energy. We calculate the power spectrum of the scalar perturbations that are produced in such a bouncing model and find that, under the assumption of initial vacuum state for the quantum field associated with the hydrodynamical perturbation, this leads to a spectral index n=-1. The matching conditions applying to this bouncing model are derived and shown to be different from those in the case of a sharp transition. We find that if our bounce transition can be smoothly connected to a slowly contracting phase, then the resulting power spectrum will be scale invariant. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/hep-th/0203013 , 261kb) %%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%%--%% ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper: gr-qc/0110010 replaced with revised version Tue, 5 Mar 2002 17:19:56 GMT (13kb) Title: Radiation from perfect mirrors starting from rest and the black body spectrum Authors: A.

The action associated to the bicrossproduct structure allows to obtain a nonlinear action over a new group linked to the translations. This new nonlinear action associates a dynamical system to each generator which is the object of study in this paper. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/math-ph/0203004 , 12kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper: math.DS/0203018 From: Anatoly Vershik Date: Sat, 2 Mar 2002 17:48:45 GMT (9kb) Title: Graded Lie Algebras and dynamical systems Authors: A.Vershik (St.Petersburg Mathematical Institute of Russian Acad.) Comments: 10 pages, Latex Report-no: ESI-1086 Subj-class: Dynamical Systems; Quantum Algebra; Operator Algebras \\ The general class of the graded Lie algebras is defined. These algebras could be constructed using an arbitrary dynamical systems with discrete time and with invarinat measure. In this papers we consider the case of the central extension of Lie algebras which corresponds to the ordinary crossed product (as associative algebra) - series A. The structure of those Lie algebras is similar to Kac-Moody algebras, and these are a special case of so called algebras with continuous root system which were introduced by author with M.Saveliev in 90-th. The central extension open a new possibilty in algebraic theory of dynamical systems. The simpliest example corresponds to rotation of the circle (sine-algebra="quantum torus") and to adding of unity the additvie group of the p-adic integers. \\ ( http://arXiv.org/abs/math/0203018 , 9kb) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ \\ Paper: math.GT/0203012 From: Stavros Garoufalidis Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2002 21:42:14 GMT (27kb) Title: Random walks and the colored Jones function Authors: Stavros Garoufalidis and Martin Loebl Comments: AMS-LaTeX, 13 pages with 12 figures Subj-class: Geometric Topology; Quantum Algebra \\ It can be conjectured that the colored Jones function of a knot can be computed in terms of counting paths on the graph of a planar projection of a knot.
