A procedure suitable for use on high‐speed digital computers is presented for interpreting two‐dimensional gravity anomalies. In order to determine the shape of a disturbing mass with known density contrast, an initial model is assumed and gravity anomalies are calculated and compared with observed values at n points, where n is greater than the number of unknown variables (e.g. depths) of the model. Adjustments are then made to the model by a least‐squares approximation which uses the partial derivatives of the anomalies so that the residuals are reduced to a minimum. In comparison with other iterative techniques, convergence is very rapid. A convenient method to use for both the calculation of the anomalies and the adjustments is the two‐dimensional method of Talwani, Worzel, and Landisman, (1959) in which the outline of the body is polygonized and the anomalies and the partial derivatives of the anomaly with respect to the depth of a vertex on the body can be expressed as functions of the coordinates of the vertex. Not only depths but under certain circumstances regional gravity values may be evaluated; however, the relationship of the disturbing body to the gravity information may impose certain limitations on the application of the procedure.

Gravity Interpretation

The authors do not state explicitly that equations (1) and (12) express gravity anomalies of the two‐dimensional cylinder and fault respectively. These structures have an infinite extension along the strike, and all the gravity profiles perpendicular to the strike are identical. For this reason it is admissible to apply the one‐dimensional Fourier transform to obtain the one‐dimensional amplitude spectra shown in Figures (1) and (5). The situation, however, is different for the sphere, which does not have a one‐dimensional gravity profile in the above sense, but rather a two‐dimensional field with cylindrical symmetry. Instead of using the one‐dimensional Fourier transform as given by (6) along a straight line, we must apply the two‐dimensional Fourier transform over the whole area. Because of the circular symmetry, one radial variable will suffice in place of the two Cartesian coordinates x and y, and the two‐dimensional Fourier transform can be expressed as Hankel transform, so that equation (6) becomes [Formula: see text]

Exact Relations

Steady two-dimensional surface capillary–gravity waves in irrotational motion are considered on constant depth. By exploiting the holomorphic properties in the physical plane and introducing some transformations of the boundary conditions at the free surface, new exact relations and equations for the free surface only are derived. In particular, a physical plane counterpart of the Babenko equation is obtained. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear water waves’.

We show that the two-dimensional gravity coupled to c=−2 matter field in Polyakov’s light-cone gauge has a twisted N=2 superconformal algebra. We also show that the BRST cohomology in the light-cone gauge actually coincides with that in the conformal gauge. Based on this observation the relations between the topological algebras are discussed.

We find the relationship between the Jackiw-Teitelboim model of two-dimensional gravity and the SL (2, R) induced gravity. These are shown to be related to a two-dimensional gauge theory obtained by dimensionally reducing the Chern-Simons action of the 2+1 dimensional gravity. We present an explicit solution to the equations of motion of the auxiliary field of the Jackiw-Teitelboim model in the light-cone gauge. A renormalization of the cosmological constant is also given.

Continuum Field

The radius dependence of partition functions is explicitly evaluated in the continuum field theory of a compactified boson, interacting with two-dimensional quantum gravity (noncritical string) on Riemann surfaces for the first few genera. The partition function for the torus is found to be a sum of terms proportional to R and 1/R. This is in agreement with the result of a discretized version (matrix models), but is quite different from the critical string. The supersymmetric case is also explicitly evaluated.
