Space-time Averages of Classical Physical Fields
Abstract
Description
A review on the main results concerning the algebraic and differential properties of the averaging and coordination operators and the properties of the space-time averages of macroscopic gravity is given. The algebraic and differential properties of the covariant space-time averaging procedure by means of using the parallel transportation averaging bivector operator are analyzed. The structure of the pseudo-Riemannian space-time manifolds of general relativity averaged by means of this procedure is discussed. A comparison of both procedures is given and the directions of further development of space-time averaging procedures of the physical classical fields are outlined.
