We consider on X the coupling of the Einstein equation with the Seiberg-Witten equation through a variational formulation. Although the SW equation does not have a natural variational formulation, the most trivial functional, which Euler-Lagrange equations are satisfied by the solutions of SW-equation, is used to perform the coupling with the Einstein equation. Since the Einstein equation has a variational formulation given by the Einstein-Hubert functional, we simply compute the tensor energy-momentum of the coupled theory.

In this chapter, techniques used in studying functions of one real variable \( f:I\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\), defined in an open interval \(I\subset \mathbb {R}\), are extended for functions of several real variables \(f:U\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^{m}\) defined over an open subset \(U\subset \mathbb {R}^{n}\). Several real variables is understood to mean a finite number of variables \((x_{1},\ldots ,x_{n})\in \mathbb {R}^{n}\). The simple topological nature of \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\) allows the theory to be more easily understood as all the concepts and techniques. The same concepts and techniques will be studied in the chapters ahead within the framework of Banach spaces.

The problem treated in this thesis is the existence of a smooth map <p:M-* N satisfying the following conditions : (i) AM<p + Nr(<p)(d<p,d<p) « 0 , AM-Laplace-Beltrami operator on (M,y) Nr-Christoffel symbols o f (N,h) (ii) There exist a strictly positive function X :M-» R such that the pull-back metric <p*h on each fiber of the pull-back vector bundle <p''(TN) over M satisfies the relation 9 h ■ X.y (iii) 9(9M) c S (iv) |2 (w) x T<p(w)S for all w e 9M ; dtp.n where n is the normal direction along 9M induced by the orientation on M.

This means to find out the opportunities that such symmetry offers. Then our effort here is to study an asymmetry possibility by introducing different potential fields rotating under a same single group. In this work asymmetric classical properties are studied for the non-abelian case. The presence of asymmetry is first derived through new strength field tensors and collective aspects. Then field equations, Bianchi identities, Noether theorem and conserved currents are obtained. Diversity and connectivity are the main results from asymmetry. Diversity can be seen through the various quanta carrying different masses, spin and coupling constants obtained through equations of motion and their corresponding conserved currents. Connectivity through new inductive relationships derived from new Bianchi identities and coupled equations. It is a gauge theory that emphasizes the meaning of entanglement.

The approach consists in applying the elliptic techniques to the variational setting of the Seiberg-Witten equation. The gauge invariance of the functional allows to restrict the problem to the Coulomb subspace Ꮿ C α of configuration space. The coercivity of the ᐃ α-functional, when restricted into the Coulomb subspace, imply the existence of a weak solution. The regularity then follows from the boundedness of L ∞-norms of spinor solutions and the gauge fixing lemma.

Since the SWequation fits in a variational approach, invariant by the action of the Gauge Group Gα = Map(X, U1), which satisfies the Palais-Smale Condition, our aim is to obtain existence of solutions to the 2-order SW-equations by describing the weak homotopy type of the space Aα ×Gα Γ (S + α ). The 2 -order SWequations are the Euler-Lagrange equation of a functional, they generalise the 1-order SW-equations

For the purpose of this analysis, a kinematic chain is described by its properties, i.e. degrees-of-control, connectivity and redundancy matrices. In number synthesis, kinematic chains are represented by graphs, and thus the symmetry of a kinematic chain is the same as the symmetry of its graph. We present a formal definition of symmetry in kinematic chains based on the automorphism group of its associated graph. The symmetry group of the graph is associated with the graph symmetry. By using the group structure induced by the symmetry of the kinematic chain, we prove that degrees-of-control, connectivity and redundancy are invariants by the action of the automorphism group of the graph. Consequently, it is shown that it is possible to reduce the size of these matrices and thus reduce the complexity of the kinematic analysis ...
