It is reasonable to think that the real representations of the poincare group will still play an important role in the most modern theories based on the classical electromagnetism and general relativity. The poincare hopf index theorem relates vector elds on compact surfaces to the euler characteristic, thus tying together objects with analytic knowledge of the surface with another that is dependent on the structure of its 2complex.

The generalized cone operator is a combinatorial operator that can be constructed for any simplicial complex that can be grown by a process of local augmentation. Translating if necessary, it can be assumed that the ball b has centre 0. This picture is confirmed and made precise by the poincare lemma, which states that if \m\ is contractible, all closed forms are exact. The group is abelian and we can reorder our sums arbitrarily.
It should be noted that the piecewise linear or di. The poincare lemma or volterra theorem is of utmost importance both in theory and in. This is all to say that spacetime has obviously not exact poincare symmetry, although the corrections are ordinarily very small. In particular, regular triangulations and tetrahedralizations of r2 and r3 are presented, for which the discrete poincare lemma is globally valid.
