In mathematics , the resolvent formalism is a technique for applying concepts from complex analysis to the study of the spectrum functional analysis spectrum of Operator mathematics operator s on Hilbert space s and more general spaces. The resolvent captures the spectral properties of an operator in the analytic structure of the resolvent. Given an operator A , the resolvent may be defined as math R z A A zI 1 . math Among other uses, the resolvent may be used to solve the inhomogeneous Fredholm integral equation s a commonly used approach is a series solution, the Liouville Neumann series . The resolvent of A can be used to directly obtain information about the spectral decomposition of A . For example, suppose math lambda math is an isolated eigenvalue in the spectrum of A . That is, suppose there exists a simple closed curve math C lambda math in the complex plane that separates math lambda math from the rest of the spectrum of A . Then the residue complex analysis residue math frac 1 2 pi i oint C lambda A z I 1 dz math defines a projection operator onto the math lambda math eigenspace of A . The Hille Yosida theorem relates the resolvent to an integral over the one parameter group mathematics group of transformations generated by A . Thus, for example, if A is Hermitian operator Hermitian , then math U t exp itA math is a one parameter group of unitary operators. The resolvent can be expressed as the integral math R z A int 0 infty e zt U t dt. math History The first major use of the resolvent operator was by Ivar Fredholm , in a landmark 1903 paper in Acta Mathematica that helped establish modern operator theory . The name resolvent was given by David Hilbert .

The Press Schechter formalism is a mathematical model for predicting the number of objects such as galaxies or galaxy clusters of a certain mass within a given volume of the Universe. It was described in a famous research paper paper by William H. Press and Paul L. Schechter Paul Schechter in 1974. ref http adsabs.harvard.edu abs 1974ApJ...187..425P Formation of Galaxies and Clusters of Galaxies by Self Similar Gravitational Condensation , W.H. Press, P. Schechter, 1974 ref . Background In the context of Dark matter cold dark matter cosmological models, perturbations on all scales are imprinted on the universe at very early times, for example by quantum fluctuations during an Inflationary cosmology inflationary era . Later, as radiation redshifts away, these become mass perturbations, and they start to grow linearly. Only long after that, starting with small mass scales and advancing over time to larger mass scales, do the perturbations actually collapse to form for example galaxies or clusters of galaxies, in so called hierarchical structure formation see Physical cosmology . Press and Schechter observed that the fraction of mass in collapsed objects more massive than some mass M is related to the fraction of volume samples in which the smoothed initial density fluctuations are above some density threshold. This yields a formula for the mass function distribution of masses of objects at any given time. Result The Press Schechter formalism predicts that the number of objects with mass between math M math and math M dM math is math N M dM frac 1 2 sqrt pi left 1 frac n 3 right frac bar rho M 2 left frac M M right left 3 n right 6 exp left left frac M M right left 3 n right 3 right math where math bar rho math is the mean baryonic and dark matter density of the universe, math n math is the index of the power spectrum of the fluctuations in the early universe math P k propto ... luminosity functions.

In theoretical physics , the Batalin&ndash Vilkovisky BV formalism named for Igor Batalin and Grigori Vilkovisky was developed as a method for determining the Faddeev&ndash Popov ghost ghost structure for Lagrangian gauge theories , such as gravity and supergravity , whose corresponding Hamiltonian formalism Hamiltonian formulation has constraints not related to a Lie algebra i.e., the role of Lie algebra structure constants are played by more general structure functions . The BV formalism, based on an Action physics action that contains both Field physics fields and antifields , can be thought of as a vast generalization of the original BRST formalism for Yang Mills theory pure Yang&ndash Mills theory to an arbitrary Lagrangian gauge theory. Other names for the Batalin&ndash Vilkovisky formalism are field antifield formalism , Lagrangian BRST formalism , or BV BRST formalism . It should not be confused with the Batalin&ndash Fradkin&ndash Vilkovisky formalism Batalin&ndash Fradkin&ndash Vilkovisky BFV formalism , which is the Hamiltonian counterpart.

In quantum field theory , the Gupta Bleuler formalism is a way of quantization physics quantizing the electromagnetic field . The formulation is due to theoretical physicist Suraj N. Gupta and Konrad Bleuler . Let s start with a single photon first. A basis linear algebra basis of the one photon vector space we ll explain why it s not a Hilbert space below is given by the eigenstate s k,&epsilon sub &mu sub &rang where k, the 4 momentum is null vector null k sup 2 sup 0 and the k sub 0 sub component, the energy, is positive and &epsilon sub &mu sub is the unit polarization vector and the index &mu ranges from 0 to 3. So, k is uniquely determined by the spatial momentum math vec k math . Using the bra ket notation , we equip this space with a sesquilinear form defined by math langle vec k a epsilon mu vec k b epsilon nu rangle eta mu nu 1 over 2 vec k a delta vec k a vec k b math where the math 1 over 2 vec k a math factor is to implement Lorentz covariance . We are using the metric signature here. However, this sesquilinear form gives positive norms for spatial polarizations but negative norms for timelike polarizations. Negative probabilities are unphysical. Not to mention a physical photon only has two transverse wave transverse polarizations, not four. If we include gauge covariance, we realize a photon can have three possible polarizations two transverse and one longitudinal i.e. parallel to the 4 momentum . This is given by the restriction math k cdot epsilon 0 math . However, the longitudinal component is merely unphysical gauge. While it would be nice to define a stricter restriction than the one given above which only leaves us with the two transverse components, it s easy to check that this can t be defined in a Lorentz covariant manner because what is transverse ... satisfies the free wave equation.

General relativity cTopic Equations Post Newtonian formalism is a calculational tool that expresses Einstein s nonlinear equations of gravity in terms of the lowest order deviations from Newton s theory. This allows approximations to Einstein s equations to be made in the case of weak fields. Higher order terms can be added to increase accuracy, but for strong fields sometimes it is preferable to solve the complete equations numerically. Some of these post Newtonian approximations are expansions in a small parameter, which is the ratio of the velocity of the matter forming the gravitational field to the speed of light, which in this case is better called the speed of gravity. In the limit, when the fundamental speed of gravity becomes infinite, the post Newtonian expansion reduces to Newton s law of gravity. The parameterized post Newtonian formalism or PPN formalism is a version of this formulation that explicitly details the parameters in which a general theory of gravity can differ from Newtonian gravity. It is used as a tool to compare Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity in the limit in which the gravitational field is weak and generated by objects moving slowly compared to the speed of light . In general, PPN formalism can be applied to all metric theories of gravitation in which all bodies satisfy the Einstein equivalence principle EEP . The speed of light remains constant in PPN formalism and it assumes that the Metric tensor general relativity metric tensor is always symmetric.

For the general concept see Cartan connection . The vierbein or tetrad theory much used in theoretical physics is a special case of the application of Cartan connection in four dimensional manifold s. It applies to metrics of any signature. See Metric mathematics . This section is an approach to tetrads, but written in general terms. In dimensions other than 4, words like triad , pentad , zweibein , f nfbein , elfbein etc. have been used. Vielbein covers all dimensions. In German, vier stands for four and viel stands for many. If you are looking for a basis dependent index notation, see tetrad index notation . The basic ingredients Suppose we are working on a differential manifold M of dimension n , and have fixed natural numbers p and q with p q n . Furthermore, we assume that we are given a generalized special orthogonal group SO p , q principal bundle B over M and a vector bundle SO p , q vector bundle V associated to B by means of the natural n dimensional representations of Lie groups algebras representation of SO p , q .

In the theory of quantum communication , the entanglement assisted stabilizer formalism is a method for protecting quantum information with the help of entanglement shared between a sender and receiver before they transmit quantum data over a quantum communication channel. It extends the standard stabilizer formalism by including quantum entanglement shared entanglement Brun et al. 2006 . The advantage of entanglement assisted stabilizer codes is that the sender can exploit the error correcting properties of an arbitrary set of Pauli operator s. The sender s Pauli operator s do not necessarily have to form an abelian subgroup of the Pauli group math Pi n math over math n math qubit s. The sender can make clever use of her shared quantum entanglement ebit s so that the global stabilizer is abelian and thus forms a valid quantum error correcting code . Definition We review the construction of an entanglement assisted code Brun et al. 2006 . Suppose that there is a nonabelian subgroup math mathcal S subset Pi n math of size math n k 2c s math .

main Diffraction Quantitative description and analysis File Wavelength slitwidthblue.gif thumb For water waves propagate only on the surface of the water. The animation shows Wavelength slitwidth blue 2D visualization File 6wavelength slitwidthblue.gif right thumb For water waves propagate only on the surface of the water. The animation shows 6 wavelength slitwidth blue 2D visualization Because diffraction is the result of addition of all waves of given wavelength along all unobstructed paths, the usual procedure is to consider the contribution of an infinitesimally small neighborhood around a certain path this contribution is usually called a wavelet and then integrate over all paths add all wavelets from the source to the detector or given point on a screen . Thus in order to determine the pattern produced by diffraction, the phase and the amplitude of each of the wavelets is calculated. That is, at each point in space we must determine the distance to each of the simple sources on the incoming wavefront. If the distance to each of the simple sources differs by an integer number of wavelengths, all the wavelets will be in phase, resulting in constructive interference. If the distance to each source is an integer plus one half of a wavelength, there will be complete destructive interference. Usually, it is sufficient to determine these minima and maxima to explain the observed diffraction effects. The simplest descriptions of diffraction are those in which the situation can be reduced to a two dimensional problem. For water waves, this is already the case, as water waves propagate only on the surface of the water. For light, we can often neglect one dimension if the diffracting object extends in that direction over a distance far greater than the wavelength. In the case of light shining through small circular holes we will have to take into account the full three dimensional nature of the problem.

Expert subject Mathematics date November 2008 Unreferenced date January 2008 In relativistic physical cosmology cosmology , Weyl s postulate stipulates that in a fluid solution fluid cosmological model, the world line s of the fluid particles, which act as the source of the gravitational field and which are often taken to model galaxies , should be hypersurface orthogonal . That is, the world lines should be everywhere orthogonal to a family of spatial hyperslice general relativity hyperslice s. Sometimes, the additional hypothesis is added that the world lines form timelike geodesic general relativity geodesic s. Intuitive significance In the ADM formalism we introduce a family of spatial hyperslices. This allows us to think of the geometry of space as evolving over time . This is an attractive viewpoint, but in general no such family of hyperslices will be physically preferred. The Weyl hypothesis can be understood as the assumption that we should consider only cosmological models in which there is such a preferred slicing, namely the one given by taking the unique hyperslices orthogonal to the world lines of the fluid particles. One consequence of this hypothesis is that if it holds true, we can introduce a comoving coordinates comoving chart such that the metric tensor contains no terms of form dt dx , dt dy , or dt dz . The additional hypothesis that the world lines of the fluid particles be geodesics is equivalent to assuming that no body forces act within the fluid. In other words, the fluid has zero pressure, so that we are considering a dust solution . Relation to vorticity The condition that the congruence general relativity congruence corresponding to the fluid particles should be hypersurface orthogonal is by no means assured. A generic congruence does not possess this property, which is in fact mathematically equivalent to stipulating that the congruence of world lines should be vorticity free . That is, they should not be twisting about one another, or ... more details
