Integrals of Motion in T3 Coordinates
Motivated by the HNM82 derivation, in an accompanying chapter we have introduced a new T2 Coordinate System and have outlined a few of its properties. Here we offer a modest redefinition of the second radial coordinate in an effort to bring even more symmetry to the definition of the position vector, <math>\vec{x}</math>.
Definition
By defining the dimensionless angle,
<math> \Zeta \equiv \sinh^{-1}\biggl( \frac{qz}{\varpi} \biggr) , </math>
the two key "T3" coordinates will be written as,
|
<math> \lambda_1 </math> |
<math>\equiv</math> |
<math>\varpi \cosh\Zeta = ( \varpi^2 + q^2z^2 )^{1/2}</math> |
and |
<math> \lambda_2 </math> |
<math>\equiv</math> |
<math>\varpi [\sinh\Zeta ]^{1/(1-q^2)} = \biggl[\frac{\varpi^{q^2}}{qz}\biggr]^{1/(q^2-1)}</math> |
Relevant Partial Derivatives
Here are some relevant partial derivatives:
|
|
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial x} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial y} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial z} </math> |
|
<math>\lambda_1</math> |
<math> \frac{x}{\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> \frac{y}{\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> \frac{q^2 z}{\lambda_1} </math> |
|
<math>\lambda_2</math> |
<math>
\frac{1}{(q^2-1)} \biggl[ \frac{\varpi^{q^2-1}}{\sinh\Zeta} \biggr]^{q^2/(q^2-1)} \biggl( \frac{q^3 z}{\varpi^{q^2+2}} \biggr) x
</math> |
<math>
\frac{1}{(q^2-1)} \biggl[ \frac{\varpi^{q^2-1}}{\sinh\Zeta} \biggr]^{q^2/(q^2-1)} \biggl( \frac{q^3 z}{\varpi^{q^2+2}} \biggr) y
</math> |
<math>
- \frac{1}{(q^2-1)} \biggl[ \frac{\varpi^{q^2-1}}{\sinh\zeta} \biggr]^{q^2/(q^2-1)} \frac{q}{\varpi^{q^2}}
</math> |
|
<math>\lambda_3</math> |
<math> - \frac{y}{\varpi^{2}} </math> |
<math> + \frac{x}{\varpi^{2}} </math> |
<math> 0 </math> |
Alternatively, partials can be taken with respect to the cylindrical coordinates, <math>\varpi</math>, <math>z</math> and <math>\phi</math>. (Incidentally, I have reversed the traditional order of the <math>\phi</math> and <math>z</math> coordinates in an attempt to parallelize structure between cylindrical and T3 coordinates since <math>\lambda_3 \equiv \phi</math>.)
|
|
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial \varpi} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial z} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial \phi} </math> |
|
<math>{\lambda_1}</math> |
<math> \frac{\varpi}{\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> \frac{q^2 z}{\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> 0 </math> |
|
<math>\lambda_2</math> |
<math>
\frac{q^2}{q^2-1} \left( \frac{\varpi}{qz} \right)^{1/(q^2-1)}
</math> |

</math> |
|
<math>\lambda_3</math> |
<math> 0 </math> |

Furthermore, the inverted partials are
|
|
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial \lambda_1} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial \lambda_2} </math> |
<math> \frac{\partial}{\partial \lambda_3} </math> |

Scale Factors
The scale factors are,
|
<math>h_1^2</math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_1}{\partial x} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_1}{\partial y} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_1}{\partial z} \biggr)^2 \biggr]^{-1} </math> |

<math>=</math> |
<math> \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_2}{\partial x} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_2}{\partial y} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_2}{\partial z} \biggr)^2 \biggr]^{-1} </math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> (q^2-1)^2 \biggl(\frac{\varpi z \ell}{\lambda_2} \biggr)^2 </math> |

<math>=</math> |
<math> \biggl[ \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_3}{\partial x} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_3}{\partial y} \biggr)^2 + \biggl( \frac{\partial\lambda_3}{\partial z} \biggr)^2 \biggr]^{-1} </math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \varpi^2 </math> |
|
|
|
where, <math>\ell \equiv (\varpi^2 + q^4 z^2)^{-1/2}</math>. |

Orthogonality Condition
Next, let's use the example orthogonality condition derived elsewhere in connection with our overview of direction cosines. Specifically, let's see if Equation DC.01 is satisfied.
|
<math> \frac{\partial\lambda_1}{\partial \varpi} \cdot \frac{\partial\lambda_2}{\partial \varpi} + \frac{\partial\lambda_1}{\partial z} \cdot \frac{\partial\lambda_2}{\partial z} </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> \frac{\varpi}{\lambda_1} \biggl[ \frac{q^2}{q^2-1} \left( \frac{\varpi}{qz} \right)^{1/(q^2-1)} \biggr] - \frac{q^2z}{\lambda_1} \biggl[ \frac{1}{q^2-1} \left( \frac{\varpi^{q^2}}{qz^{q^2}} \right)^{1/(q^2-1)} \biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math> = </math> |
<math> \frac{q^2}{(q^2-1)\lambda_1} \biggl\{ \varpi\biggl[ \left( \frac{\varpi}{qz} \right)^{1/(q^2-1)} \biggr] - z \biggl[ \left( \frac{\varpi^{q^2}}{qz^{q^2}} \right)^{1/(q^2-1)} \biggr] \biggr\} </math> |
|
|
<math> = </math> |
<math> \frac{q^2}{(q^2-1)\lambda_1} \biggl[ q^{-1/(q^2-1)} \varpi^{1 + 1/(q^2-1)} z^{-1/(q^2-1)} - q^{-1/(q^2-1)} \varpi^{q^2/(q^2-1)} z^{1-q^2/(q^2-1)} \biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math> = </math> |
<math> 0 . </math> |
Hence, the key orthogonality condition defined by Equation DC.01 is satisfied.
Position Vector
The position vector is,
|
<math>\vec{x}</math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{i}x + \hat{j}y + \hat{k}z </math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 (h_1 \lambda_1) + \hat{e}_2 (h_2 \lambda_2) . </math> |
Vector Derivatives
For orthogonal coordinate systems, the time-rate-of-change of the three unit vectors are given by the expressions,
|
<math> \frac{d}{dt}\hat{e}_1 </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> \hat{e}_2 A + \hat{e}_3 B </math> |
|
<math> \frac{d}{dt}\hat{e}_2 </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> - \hat{e}_1 A + \hat{e}_3 C </math> |
|
<math> \frac{d}{dt}\hat{e}_3 </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> - \hat{e}_1 B - \hat{e}_2 C </math> |
where,
|
<math> A </math> |
<math> \equiv </math> |
<math> \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{h_1} \frac{\partial h_2}{\partial \lambda_1} - \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{h_2} \frac{\partial h_1}{\partial \lambda_2} </math> |
|
<math> B </math> |
<math> \equiv </math> |
<math> \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3}{h_1} \frac{\partial h_3}{\partial \lambda_1} - \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{h_3} \frac{\partial h_1}{\partial \lambda_3} </math> |
|
<math> C </math> |
<math> \equiv </math> |
<math> \frac{\dot{\lambda}_3}{h_2} \frac{\partial h_3}{\partial \lambda_2} - \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{h_3} \frac{\partial h_2}{\partial \lambda_3} </math> |
Another way of expressing this involves Christoffel symbols and is most easily written using index notation.
<math> \frac{d}{dt} \hat{e}_c = \frac{h_a}{h_c} \ \Gamma^a_{bc} \dot{\lambda}_b \ \hat{e}_a \ \ (a \ne c) </math>
Here, we have been admittedly slopping with the placement and notation of indices in order to best accommodate the notation we have been using up to here. The <math>b</math> index is summed over all the coordinates. The <math>a</math> index is summed over all coordinates EXCEPT the <math>c</math> coordinate. The <math>c</math> index is NOT summed over because it is a free index, meaning that it can equal any of the coordinates depending on which unit vector you want to differentiate.
Writing this out for each of the individual unit vectors, and striking through terms that are automatically zero when dealing with an orthogonal coordinate system, produces
|
<math> \frac{d}{dt} \hat{e}_1 </math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \overbrace{\frac{h_2}{h_1} \left( \Gamma^2_{11} \dot{\lambda}_1 + \Gamma^2_{21} \dot{\lambda}_2 + \cancel{\Gamma^2_{31} \dot{\lambda}_3} \right)}^{A} \hat{e}_2 + \overbrace{\frac{h_3}{h_1} \left( \Gamma^3_{11} \dot{\lambda}_1 + \cancel{\Gamma^3_{21} \dot{\lambda}_2} + \Gamma^3_{31} \dot{\lambda}_3 \right)}^{B} \hat{e}_3 </math> |

Notice that it is the Christoffel symbols labeled with all three of the coordinate indices that are automatically zero for orthogonal coordinate systems.

Time-Derivative of Position and Velocity Vectors
In general for an orthogonal coordinate system, the velocity vector can be written as,
<math> \vec{v} = \hat{e}_1 (h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1) + \hat{e}_2 (h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2) +\hat{e}_3 (h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3) . </math>
So, in general, the time-rate-of-change of the velocity vector is,
|
<math>\frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}</math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)\frac{d\hat{e}_1}{dt} + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)\frac{d\hat{e}_2}{dt} + \hat{e}_3 \biggl[\frac{d(h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3)\frac{d\hat{e}_3}{dt} </math> |
|
|
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)\biggl[ \hat{e}_2 A + \hat{e}_3 B \biggr] + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)\biggl[ - \hat{e}_1 A + \hat{e}_3 C \biggr] + \hat{e}_3 \biggl[\frac{d(h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3)\biggl[ - \hat{e}_1 B - \hat{e}_2 C \biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)}{dt} - A(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2) - B(h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3) \biggr] + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} + A(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1) - C(h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3) \biggr] + \hat{e}_3 \biggl[\frac{d(h_3 \dot{\lambda}_3)}{dt} + B(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1) + C(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2) \biggr] </math> |
Now, for the T3 coordinate system the position vector has a similar form, specifically,
<math> \vec{x} = \hat{e}_1 (h_1 {\lambda}_1) + \hat{e}_2 (h_2 {\lambda}_2) . </math>
By analogy, then, the time-rate-of-change of the position vector is,
|
<math>\frac{d\vec{x}}{dt}</math> |
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 {\lambda}_1)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_1 {\lambda}_1)\frac{d\hat{e}_1}{dt} + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 {\lambda}_2)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_2 {\lambda}_2)\frac{d\hat{e}_2}{dt} </math> |
|
|
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 {\lambda}_1)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_1 {\lambda}_1)\biggl[ \hat{e}_2 A + \hat{e}_3 B \biggr] + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 {\lambda}_2)}{dt}\biggr] + (h_2 {\lambda}_2)\biggl[ - \hat{e}_1 A + \hat{e}_3 C \biggr] </math> |
|
|
<math>=</math> |
<math> \hat{e}_1 \biggl[\frac{d(h_1 {\lambda}_1)}{dt} - A(h_2 {\lambda}_2) \biggr] + \hat{e}_2 \biggl[\frac{d(h_2 {\lambda}_2)}{dt} + A(h_1 {\lambda}_1) \biggr] + \hat{e}_3 \biggl[B(h_1 {\lambda}_1) + C(h_2 {\lambda}_2) \biggr] </math> |
Derived Identity for T3 Coordinates
Looking at the "<math>\hat{e}_2</math>" component of this last expression, we have,
<math> \hat{e}_2 \cdot \frac{d\vec{x}}{dt} = \frac{d(h_2 {\lambda}_2)}{dt} + A(h_1 {\lambda}_1) . </math>
But we also know that,
<math> \hat{e}_2 \cdot \vec{v} = h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2 . </math>
Hence, it must be true that,
|
For T3 Coordinates |
|
<math>
\lambda_2 \frac{d h_2}{dt} = - A(h_1 {\lambda}_1)
</math> |
At some point, this identity needs to be checked by taking various partial derivatives of the scale factors and plugging them into the generic definition of <math>A</math>, given above. (Actually, this shouldn't be necessary because in January, 2009, we derived the same equation-of-motion result shown below while using the uglier expression for <math>A</math>. So this must be a correct identity in the context of T3 coordinates.)
Implications of Equation of Motion
Looking now at the "<math>\hat{e}_2</math>" component of the acceleration (which we will set equal to zero), and assuming no motion in the <math>3^\mathrm{rd}</math> component direction, we have,
<math>
\hat{e}_2 \cdot \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} + A(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1) =0
</math>
<math>
\Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} = - A(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)
</math>
or, inserting the relation derived above for <math>A</math> in terms of <math>dh_2/dt</math> for T3 coordinates,
| EOM.01 |
|---|
<math>
\Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} = \biggl(\frac{\lambda_2 \dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1}\biggr) \frac{dh_2}{dt}
</math>
<math>
\Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{d(h_2 \lambda_1 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} = \dot{\lambda}_1 \frac{d(h_2 \lambda_2)}{dt} .
</math>
Or, equivalently (but perhaps more perversely),
| EOM.02 |
|---|
<math>
\frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{\lambda_2} \biggl[ \frac{1}{h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2} \frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} \biggr] = \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1} \biggl[ \frac{1}{h_2} \frac{dh_2}{dt} \biggr]
</math>
<math>
\Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{d \ln\lambda_2}{dt} \biggl[ \frac{d\ln(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} \biggr] = \frac{d\ln\lambda_1}{dt} \biggl[\frac{d\ln h_2}{dt} \biggr]
</math>
Note that Equation EOM.01 is equivalent to the simplest form of the conservation that we derived — actually, Jay Call derived it — back in January, 2009. Specifically,
|
<math> \lambda_1 \frac{d(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2)}{dt} = \lambda_2 \dot{\lambda}_1 \frac{dh_2}{dt} </math> |
The 64-thousand dollar question is, "Can we turn any of these expressions into a form which states that the total time-derivative of some function equals zero?"
Let's look at the <math>1^\mathrm{st}</math> component of the equation of motion.
<math>
\hat{e}_1 \cdot \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{d(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)}{dt} - A(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2) = - \frac{1}{h_1}\frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\lambda_1}
</math>
<math>
\Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{d(h_1 \dot{\lambda}_1)}{dt} = A(h_2 \dot{\lambda}_2) - \frac{1}{h_1}\frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\lambda_1} = - \biggl[ \frac{h_2 \lambda_2 }{h_1\lambda_1} \biggr]\dot{\lambda}_2 \frac{dh_2}{dt} - \frac{1}{h_1}\frac{\partial\Phi}{\partial\lambda_1}
</math>
Logarithmic Derivatives of Scale Factors
Given the collection of expressions detailed in our derivation up to this point, the logarithmic derivatives of the scale factors are:
|
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> - \biggl( \frac{q h_1 h_2 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1 } \biggr)^2 </math> |
|
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> + \biggl( \frac{q h_1 h_2 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1 } \biggr)^2 </math> |
|
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> + (q h_1^2)^2 </math> |
|
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} </math> |
<math> = </math> |
<math> - ( qh_1^2 )^2 </math> |
This means, for example, that,
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} = - \frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} , </math>
and,
<math> \frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} = - \frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} . </math>
It also means that,
<math>
\frac{d\ln h_2}{dt} = \biggl(\frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} \biggr) \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1} + \biggl(\frac{\partial\ln h_2}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} \biggr) \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{\lambda_2} = ( q h_1^2)^2 \biggl[\frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{\lambda_2} \biggr]
</math>
<math> \Rightarrow ~~~~~ \frac{1}{h_1^4}\frac{d\ln h_2}{dt} = \frac{d\ln(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^{q^2}}{dt} ; </math>
and,
<math>
\frac{d\ln h_1}{dt} = \biggl(\frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_1} \biggr) \frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1} + \biggl(\frac{\partial\ln h_1}{\partial\ln\lambda_2} \biggr) \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{\lambda_2} = - \biggl( \frac{q h_1 h_2 \lambda_2}{\lambda_1} \biggr)^2 \biggl[\frac{\dot{\lambda}_1}{\lambda_1}- \frac{\dot{\lambda}_2}{\lambda_2} \biggr]
</math>
<math> \Rightarrow ~~~~~ - \biggl( \frac{\lambda_1}{h_1 h_2 \lambda_2} \biggr)^2 \frac{d\ln h_1}{dt} = \frac{d\ln(\lambda_1/\lambda_2)^{q^2}}{dt}. </math>
Hence, the logarithmic time-derivatives of the two key scale factors can be related to one another via the expression,
|
T3 Coordinates |
|---|
|
<math> (h_1 \lambda_1)^2 \frac{d\ln h_1}{dt} + (h_2 \lambda_2)^2 \frac{d\ln h_2}{dt} = 0 . </math> |
Also, plugging the relevant logarithmic derivatives of the key scale factors directly into the definition of <math>A</math> given in our discussion of vector derivatives, above, we can confirm the relationship derived earlier between <math>A</math> and <math>dh_2/dt</math>. We also can relate <math>A</math> directly to <math>dh_1/dt</math>. Specifically,
|
T3 Coordinates |
|---|
|
<math> A = - \biggl( \frac{h_2 \lambda_2}{h_1 \lambda_1} \biggr) \frac{d\ln h_2}{dt} = + \biggl( \frac{h_1 \lambda_1}{h_2 \lambda_2} \biggr) \frac{d\ln h_1}{dt} . </math> |
It must therefore also be true that,
|
T3 Coordinates |
|---|
|
<math> (h_1\lambda_1)^2 \frac{\partial \ln h_1}{\partial\lambda_j} = - (h_2\lambda_2)^2 \frac{\partial \ln h_2}{\partial\lambda_j} </math> |
Special Case (quadratic)
On a separate page we examine the structure of the second component of the equation of motion in the special "quadratic" case of <math>q^2 = 2</math>. Jay Call is independently investigating this same special case on yet another wiki page so that we can ultimately compare and check each others' results.
