Their conclusions hold only for a 4-dim representation of the conformal connection on the null cone, and by restricting reparameterizations of timelike geodesics to yield a torsion-free, affine connection. An arbitrary connection gives greater freedom. A linear connection for the conformal symmetry of null geodesics requires the SO(4,2) representation. The enlarged class of projective transformations of timelike geodesics changes Weyl’s projective curvature, and we find invariant forms of the torsion and nonmetricity, along with a new, invariant, second rank tensor field generalizing the dilatational curvature without requiring a metric. We show that either projective or conformal connections require a monotonic, twice differentiable function on a spacetime region foliated by order isomorphic, totally ordered, twice differentiable timelike curves in a necessarily Lorentzian geometry. We prove that the conditions for projective and conformal Ricci flatness imply each other and gauge choices within either can reduce the geometry to the original Riemannian form. Thus, measurements of null and timelike geodesics lead to an SO(4,2) connection, with no requirement for a lightlike limit. Reduction to integrable Weyl symmetry can only follow from the field equations of a gravity theory. We show that the simplest quadratic spacetime action leads to this reduction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":578,"journal":{"name":"General Relativity and Gravitation","volume":"57 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10714-025-03355-8.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After setting up the variational problem and computing the necessary boundary terms, the transition amplitude is computed <i>exactly</i> in the mini-superspace approximation.

Saddle analysis further highlights the boundary configurations giving dominant contribution to the path-integral which is seen to be those corresponding to Hartle–Hawking no-boundary proposal and agrees with the exact computation.

The scenarios are classified depending on whether the frequency is infinite, finite or zero near the singularity and the horizon. This depends crucially on the angular momenta of an observer and a photon. In this work we consider also emission process, and, as we show, conditions of emission strongly influence parameters of a photon, and thus received frequency. As one of our main results, we present numerical calculations showing evolution of the received frequency during the process of diving into a black hole, depending on parameters of an observer and emitter.
