A cubic algebraic equation for the effective parametrizations of the standard gravitational Lagrangian has been obtained without applying any variational principle. It was suggested that such an equation may find application in gravity theory, brane, string and Rundall-Sundrum theories. The obtained algebraic equation was brought by means of a linear-fractional transformation to a parametrizable form, expressed through the elliptic Weierstrass function, which was proved to satisfy the standard parametrizable form, but with g 2 and g 3 functions of a complex variable instead of the definite complex numbers (known from the usual (arithmetic) theory of elliptic functions and curves). The generally divergent (two) infinite sums of the inverse first and second powers of the poles in the complex plane were shown to be convergent in the investigated particular case, and the case of the infinite point of the linear-fractional transformation was investigated. Some relations were found,which ensure the parametrization of the cubic equation in its general form with the Weierstrass function.
Several space missions such as GRACE, GRAIL, ACES and others rely on intersatellite communications (ISC) between two satellites at a large distance one from another. The main goal of the theory is to formulate all the navigation observables within the General Relativity Theory (GRT). The same approach should be applied also to the intersatellite GPS-communications (in perspective also between the GPS, GLONASS and Galileo satellite constellations). In this paper a theoretical approach has been developed for ISC between two satellites moving on (one-plane) elliptical orbits based on the introduction of two gravity null cones with origins at the emitting-signal and receiving-signal satellites. The two null cones account for the variable distance between the satellites during their uncorrelated motion. This intersection of the two null cones gives the space-time interval in GRT. Applying some theorems from higher algebra, it was proved that this space-time distance can become zero, consequently it can be also negative and positive. But in order to represent the geodesic distance travelled by the signal, the space-time interval has to be "compatible" with the Euclidean distance. So this "compatibility condition", conditionally called "condition for ISC", is the most important consequence of the theory. The other important consequence is that the geodesic distance turns out to be the space-time interval, but with account also of the "condition for ISC". The geodesic distance is proved to be greater than the Euclidean distancea result, entirely based on the "two null cones approach" and moreover, without any use of the Shapiro delay formulae. Application of the same higher algebra theorems shows that the geodesic distance cannot have any zeroes, in accord with being greater than the Euclidean distance. The theory also puts a restriction on the eccentric anomaly angle E=45.00251 [deg], which is surprisingly close to the angle of disposition of the satellites in the GLONASS satellite constellation (the Russian analogue of the American GPS) -8 satellites within one and the same plane equally spaced at 45 deg. The approach is the first step towards constructing a new, consistent relativistic theory of ISC between moving satellites on different space-distributed Kepler orbits, which is a much more complicated problem not being solved for the moment.
In a previous paper, the general approach for treatment of algebraic equations of different order in gravity theory was exposed, based on the important distinction between covariant and contravariant metric tensor components.In the present second part of the paper it has been shown that a multivariable cubic algebraic equation can also be parametrized by means of complicated, irrational and non-elliptic functions, depending on the elliptic Weierstrass function and its derivative. As a model example, the proposed before cubic algebraic equation for reparametrization invariance of the gravitational Lagrangian has been investigated. This is quite different from the standard algebraic geometry approach, where only the parametrization of two-dimensional cubic algebraic equations have been considered. Also, the possible applications in modern cosmological theories has been commented.
Conditions for the existence of a gyroscope in spaces with affine connections and metrics are found. They appear as special types of Fermi-Walker transports for vector fields, lying in a subspace, orthogonal to the velocity vector field (a non-null contravariant vector field) of an observer.
