In game theory an uncorrelated asymmetry is an arbitrary asymmetry in a game which is otherwise symmetric game symmetrical . The name uncorrelated asymmetry is due to John Maynard Smith who called payoff relevant asymmetries in games with similar roles for each player correlated asymmetries note that any game with correlated asymmetries must also have uncorrelated asymmetries . The explanation of an uncorrelated asymmetry usually makes reference to informational asymmetry . Which may confuse some readers, since, games which may have uncorrelated asymmetries are still games of complete information . What differs between the same game with and without an uncorrelated asymmetry is whether the players know which role they have been assigned. If players in a symmetric game know whether they are Player 1, Player 2, etc. or row vs. column player in a bimatrix normal form game then an uncorrelated asymmetry exists. If the players do not know which player they are then no uncorrelated asymmetry exists. The informationasymmetry is that one player believes he is player 1 and the other believes he is player 2. Therefore, informational asymmetry does not refer to knowledge in the sense of an information set in an extensive form game . The concept of uncorrelated asymmetries is important in determining which Nash equilibrium Nash equilibria are evolutionarily stable strategies in discoordination games such as the game of chicken . In these games the mixing Nash is the ESS if there is no uncorrelated asymmetry, and the pure conditional Nash equilibria are ESSes when there is an uncorrelated asymmetry. The usual applied example of an uncorrelated asymmetry is territory ownership in the hawk dove game . Even if the two players owner and intruder have the same payoffs ie, the game is payoff symmetric , the territory owner will play Hawk, and the intruder Dove, in what is known as the Bourgeois strategy the reverse is also an ESS known as the anti bourgeois strategy , but makes little ... more details
In mathematics and physics , the spectral asymmetry is the asymmetry in the distribution of the spectrum of eigenvalue s of an Operator mathematics operator . In mathematics, the spectral asymmetry arises in the study of elliptic operator s on compact manifold s, and is given a deep meaning by the Atiyah Singer index theorem . In physics, it has numerous applications, typically resulting in a fractional charge physics charge due to the asymmetry of the spectrum of a Dirac operator . For example, the vacuum expectation value of the baryon number is given by the spectral asymmetry of the Hamiltonian operator . The spectral asymmetry of the confined quark fields is an important property of the chiral bag model . Definition Given an operator with eigenvalue s math omega n math , an equal number of which are positive and negative, the spectral asymmetry may be defined as the sum math B lim t to 0 frac 1 2 sum n sgn omega n exp t omega n math where math sgn x math is the sign function . Other regularization physics regulator s, such as the zeta function regulator , may be used. The need for both a positive and negative spectrum in the definition is why the spectral asymmetry usually occurs in the study of Dirac operator s. Example As an example, consider an operator with a spectrum math omega n n theta math where n is an integer, ranging over all positive and negative values. One may show in a straightforward manner that the spectral asymmetry in this case is math B theta math . Discussion Related to the spectral asymmetry is the vacuum expectation value of the energy associated with the operator, the Casimir energy , which is given by math E lim t to 0 frac 1 2 sum n omega n exp t omega n math This sum is formally divergent, and the divergences must be accounted for and removed using standard regularization techniques.

The baryon asymmetry problem in physics refers to the apparent fact that there is an imbalance in baryonic matter and antibaryonic matter in the universe . Neither the Standard Model standard model of particle physics , nor the theory of general relativity provide an obvious explanation for why this should be so and it is a natural assumption that the universe be neutral with all conserved charge physics charge s. ref cite book title Particle and astroparticle physics first Utpal last Sarkar pages 429 publisher CRC Press year 2007 isbn 1 58488 931 4 ref The Big Bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter , as such, there should have been total cancellation of both. In other words, proton s should have cancelled with antiproton s, electron s with antielectrons positron s , neutron s with antineutron s, and so on for all elementary particle s. This would have resulted in a sea of photon s in the universe with no matter. Since this is evidently not the case, after the Big Bang , some physical laws must have acted differently for matter and antimatter . There are competing hypotheses to explain the matter antimatter imbalance that resulted in baryogenesis , but there is as yet no one consensus theory to explain the phenomenon. Possible explanations CP violations Most explanations involve modifying the Standard Model standard model of particle physics , to allow for some reactions specifically involving the weak nuclear force to proceed more easily than their opposite. This is called CP violation violating CP symmetry in weak interaction s. Such a violation could allow matter to be produced more commonly than antimatter in conditions immediately after the Big Bang . However, as of yet, no theoretical consensus has been reached regarding this, and there is no experimental ... asymmetry is that there are regions of the universe in which matter is dominant, and other regions ...

Multiple issues orphan February 2012 cleanup March 2008 unreferenced June 2011 Asymmetry of lift describes an aspect of the nature of aerodynamic lift generation by the helicopter rotor rotor blades of a helicopter . Image Autorotational regions.jpg thumb Overhead view of helicopter rotors. The rotor tips travel much faster than the inner sections, so produce more lift. For the purposes of this article, the demarcated circular regions are irrelevant and should be ignored. The phenomenon is most easily envisaged when a helicopter is hover ing, that is, maintaining a fixed position above a fixed point, and with no wind in the atmosphere. A helicopter rotor blade is an airfoil aerofoil , acting like the wing on an aeroplane being driven through the air to create lift. In the case of a fixed wing aircraft in normal flight, the entire wing travels forward through the air at the same speed. In the case of helicopter rotor blades, the tips of the blade travel very fast through the air a high angular velocity while the parts near the rotor hub travel much more slowly. Because lift increases with speed, the outermost sections of the rotor blades generate more lift than those parts closer to the rotor hub. So a rotor blade is said to be an aysmmetric generator of lift , because of the difference in lift generated along its length. Helicopter manufacturers try to reduce this differential effect that is, aim for more equality of lift along the blade length . This has two main aspects tapering a blade toward its tip, which reduces its surface area, in turn reducing its lift twisting the blade commonly called geometric twist so that the blade root near the hub presents a higher angle of attack, thus higher lift. When the helicopter is travelling forwards with respect to the atmosphere, a further phenomenon comes into play, dissymmetry of lift . References Reflist Category Aerodynamics ... more details
The Lorenz asymmetry coefficient is a summary statistic of the Lorenz curve that measures the degree of asymmetry of the curve. The Lorenz asymmetry coefficient is defined as math S F mu L mu , math where the functions F and L are defined as for the Lorenz curve , and &mu is the mean. If S 1, then the point where the Lorenz curve is parallel with the line of equality is above the axis of symmetry. Correspondingly, if S 1, then the point where the Lorenz curve is parallel to the line of equality is below the axis of symmetry.
