I'm trying to develop some basic intuition here, so this comes mostly as a jumble of commentary/questions. Hope its acceptable. Helmholtz Free Energy: $A = -{\beta ^{-1}}lnZ$. I find this statement to be incredible profound. Granted, I found it yesterday. Suppose my system has one energy state with no degeneracy. $Z = ...

Can somebody point me towards a derivation using statistical physics for the fact that the Helmholtz free energy $F$ is minimised at equilibrium for a canonical system at constant temperature and volume? I'll sketch the derivation in a classical setting. Let's say we have a system with $N$ degrees of freedom, with $N$ ...
My other answer addressed the question in the title.

Well this seems like a basic principle, yet I can't seem to get it. (We're expect to "know" this already). In a three phase situation I'm given a source voltage of 230V. - So the waveform of each of the phases would be: \$ v_s = \sqrt2 \cdot 230 \cdot \sin(\omega t + \theta_i)\$ Where \$\theta_i\$ is \$0, \tfrac{2}{3} ...
Many define the likelihood of the data something like $\prod_{x} p(x|\theta)$ others like $p(x|\theta)$. Is the likelihood defined for one sample point/data element (like one document from a collection of documents or one sentence from a collection of sentences), for the whole collection of data elements, or for both? ...
Let $n$ be the original number and $m$ the number after a digit is deleted. Suppose that the deleted digit is $d$, that $r$ is the number represented by the $k$ digits to the right of $d$, and that $\ell$ is the number represented by the digits to the left of $d$, so that $m=10^k\ell+r$, and $n=10^{k+1}\ell+10^kd+r$.

We know (for instance : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson%27s_ratio ) that the Poisson ratio is $\nu=1/2-Y/(6B)$, with $Y$ the Young modulus and $B$ the bulk modulus.

What you are looking for is the correspondence between algebraic Hecke characters over a number field $F$ and compatible families of $l$-adic characters of the absolute Galois group of $F$.

Yours is a subtle question with a rather subtle answer. From the way you ask the question, you seem to be thinking of the photon as a little billiard ball. It is not.

My question - which is likely stupid or appears due to some confusion - stems from the following considerations: when quantizing canonically we are told (see any book on QFT) that a Dirac fermion field can be expressed as $$ \psi(x) = \int d\tilde{p} (u \cdot\mathbf{a}\,e^{-ipx} + v\cdot\mathbf{b}^\dagger\, e^{ipx}) $$...

Essentially, I want to find a single matrix $X$ such that conjugation by $X$ sends: $$\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \mapsto \begin{bmatrix} -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 &...
Let $V,H$ be separable Hilbert spaces such that there are dense injections $V \hookrightarrow H \hookrightarrow V^*$. (For example, $H = L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $V = H^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$, $V^* = H^{-1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$.) We can then define the vector-valued Sobolev space $W^{1,2}([0,1]; V, V^*)$ of functions $u \in L^2([0,1]; ...
Complex number A complex number is an ordered pair of real numbers. (A real number may take any value from -infinity to +infinity. Real numbers are commonly represented as points on the "real number line", i.e., a straight line of infinite length.) The two components of a complex number (a,b) are the real part (a) and ...
ABSTRACT: This preprint proposes a general framework for studying transitional behavior in geometric topology. A theory of families of geometries is developed, robust enough to contain all currently known transitional geometries arising from conjugacy limits. This is used to construct a theory of Klein geometries over ...

Nonparametric Inference for a Family of Counting Processes Abstract Let $\mathbf{B} = (N_1, \cdots, N_k)$ be a multivariate counting process and let $\mathscr{F}_t$ be the collection of all events observed on the time interval $\lbrack 0, t\rbra...

In a comment elsewhere you write that you're interested in understanding how quantum-mechanical theory describes the radiation that a hydrogen atom does and does not emit.In your question you ask about another answer that suggests some significance to the electron having zero total momentum; I think that's a feature of...
In a previous post, we took a look at the computation of a portfolio’s exposure to its allocations. Then, to show the effects of active management, we compared the return made by two portfolios. But there is so much more to look inside the financial time series. Since we left a couple of cliffhangers, let’s jump into t...
I'm reading through "Algorithms for Stochastic Mixed-Integer Programming Models", Elsevier Handbooks in OR&MS Volume 12 (Discrete Optimization), Chapter 9 and I'm stuck. For those without access to the Handbooks, I found a preprint version at: http://server1.tepper.cmu.edu/Seminars/docs/Sen_paper1-2.pdf. On page 531, S...

NTS ABSTRACTSpring2019 Return to [1] Jan 23 Yunqing Tang Reductions of abelian surfaces over global function fields For a non-isotrivial ordinary abelian surface $A$ over a global function field, under mild assumptions, we prove that there are infinitely many places modulo which $A$ is geometrically isogenous to the pr...
We study a collection of $^4$He atoms confined to strictly one dimension at zero temperature. We use the exact Path Integral Ground State method to evaluate the equation of state and the radial distribution function, and we find that the system behaves as a Luttinger liquid with parameter $K_L = \hbar \pi \rho / m v$ t...
The separation-of-variables solution you quoted has two indices appearing in it: n and j (the subscripts of the coefficient $A_{nj}$). Here, n is azimuthal mode order, i.e. it counts the number of nodes along the direction in which the polar-angle $\theta$ varies (divided by 2). The index j is needed because the wave i...
