... The term "geometric shape" refers to any shape that remains virtually unchanged if it is moved around, flipped or reflected off of a surface. When manipulated, a geometric shape does not create a new shape; it remains intact. As human beings, we have been fascinated with geometrical shapes since the ...

... progress in the latter field would have been faster. As is well-known, QFT also has applications to condensed matter physics. It can be reformulated to describe a manybody system such as a crystal with local interactions between different sites. The framework is essentially the same, but the physica ...

Simply Symmetric
... To explain why (prove) its diagonals are equal is also simple and straightforward, with absolutely no need to use any congruency. For example, line segment AC maps onto line segment DB under the reflection around line m; hence AC = DB. If we now further view and classify a rectangle as a special par ...

Lamb shift
... 1. Candelas’s result keeps only the leading order for both the outgoing and ingoing modes in the asymptotic regions. 2. The summations of the outgoing and ingoing modes are not of the same order in the asymptotic regions. So, problem arises when we add the two. We need approximations which are of th ...

Extrapolating these results to large supersymmetry breaking suggests roughly equal numbers of supersymmetric, nonsupersymmetric states. [This statement is controversial] The bulk of the states ...
