Generalized Helmholtz theorem

The generalized Helmholtz theorem is the multi-dimensional generalization of the Helmholtz theorem which is valid only in one dimension. The generalized Helmholtz theorem reads as follows. Let be the canonical coordinates of a s-dimensional Hamiltonian system, and let be the Hamiltonian function, where , is the kinetic energy and is the potential energy which depends on a parameter .Let the hyper-surfaces of constant energy in the 2s-dimensional phase space of the system be metrically indecomposable and let denote time average. Define the quantities , , , , as follows: ,,, Then: (Wikipedia).

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Maxim Kazarian - 1/3 Mathematical Physics of Hurwitz numbers

Hurwitz numbers enumerate ramified coverings of a sphere. Equivalently, they can be expressed in terms of combinatorics of the symmetric group; they enumerate factorizations of permutations as products of transpositions. It turns out that these numbers obey a huge num

Projection Theorem | Special Case of the Wigner–Eckart Theorem

The projection theorem is a special case of the Wigner–Eckart theorem, which generally involves spherical tensor operators. If we consider one example of a spherical tensor operator, a rank-1 spherical tensor, we can derive a powerful theorem, which states that expectation values of vector

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim
