Twenty-seven years ago, a group of physicists made an accidental discovery that flipped mathematics on its head. The physicists were trying to work out the details of string theory when they observed ...
which are invariant under time reversal, but change sign under charge conjugation 23. There are D=(1/2)N(N+1) magnetic moments that form the generators of S P(N). For the physical case of N=2, there ...
Symplectic geometry is a relatively new field with implications for much of modern mathematics. Here’s what it’s all about. In the early 1800s, William Rowan Hamilton discovered a new kind of ...
Russian-American mathematician and Wolf Prize laureate Yakov Eliashberg delivered a public talk at IIT Madras on Thursday, as part of the inaugural annual TNQ Distinguished Lecture in Mathematics. The ...
In this paper we present rotational symplectic geometry for use in modern biomechanics of human motion. Generalized Hamiltonian formalism has been formulated on the configuration manifold consisting ...
