The Poincare Duality in Quantization of the Norm of Differential Forms

The more important difference between Riemann and pseudo-Riemann manifolds is the metric signature and its theoretical consequences. The practical application for Physics Theories becomes often impossible due to the signature consequences. Eg., some of the rich results in Riemann Geometry and Topology become invalid for Physics if they are based on the concept of the positive definite norm; to avoid this problem, the proof machinery must avoid such assumption and must be based in other tools. This paper is a contribution to provide methodologies for Hodge decomposition and \poincare duality based on the concept of linear independence of canonical classes instead of the positive norm. As a result, the Hodge and norm decompositions are expressed based on continuous and discrete terms. When this result is applied to Classical Electromagnetic Theory, in pseudo-Riemann manifolds with minkowskian metric, magnitudes as the field norm and action have one discrete sum of terms. This result, as a quantization of the norm and action is a property of the Topology, in special of the Cohomology classes, that are sources of the field as well as the generators of action quantum.

Riemannian Geometry Based on the Takagi's Factorization of the Metric Tensor

The Riemannian geometry is one of the main theoretical pieces in Modern Mathematics and Physics. The study of Riemann Geometry in the relevant literature is performed by using a well defined analytical path. Usually it starts from the concept of metric as the primary concept and by using the connections as an intermediate geometric object, it is achieved the curvature and its properties. This paper presents a different analytical path to analyze the Riemannian geometry. It is based on a set of intermediate geometric objects obtained from the Takagi's factorization of the metric tensor. These intermediate objects allow a new viewpoint for the analysis of the geometry, provide conditions for the curved vs. flat manifolds, and also provide a new decomposition of the curvature tensor in canonical parts, which can be useful for Theoretical Physics.

Electromagnetic Duality Based on Axiomatic Maxwell Equations

No positive result has been obtained on the magnetic monopoles search. This allows to consider different theoretical approaches as the proposed in this paper, developed in the framework of the Einstein General Relativity. The properties of second rank skew-symmetrical fields are the basis of electromagnetic theories. In the space-time the Hodge duality of these fields is narrowly related with the rotations in the SO(2) group. An axiomatic approach to a dual electromagnetic theory is presented. The main result of this paper is that the stress-energy tensor can be decomposed on two parts: the parallel and the perpendicular. The parallel part is easily integrated on the Lagrangian approach, while some problems appears with the perpendicular part. A solution with the parallel part alone is found, it generates a non-standard model of magnetic monopoles neutral to the electric charges.
