Real Projective Geodesics Embedded In Complex Manifolds
Abstract
Focus of this study is to explore some aspects of mathematical foundations for using complex manifolds as a model for space-time. More specifically, certain equations of motions have been derived as a Projective geodesic on a real manifold embedded within a complex one. To that goal, first the geodesic on complex manifold has been computed using local complex and conjugate coordinates, and then its projection on the real sub-manifold has been studied. The projective geodesic, thus obtained, is shown to have additional terms beyond the usual Christoffel symbols, and hence expands the geodesic to capture effects beyond the mere gravitational ones.
