Homework Statement Given a 2-torus action on C^3 can be defined by (a,b).(x,y,z)= (abx, a^-1by, bz). What is the moment map? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Here the Lie algebra is isomorphic to the dual Lie algebra which is dual to R^2. I was trying to...

I need help. For this problem, you have to use the Gram-Schmidt process to make it orthogonal. My trouble is finding the bais for the kernel of the linear map L: R4 -> R1 defined by L([a,b,c,d)]=a-b-2c+d I know the dimension of the kernel is 3, but how? I have tried setting it...

In trying to get some perspective on the papers that appeared first quarter 2007, I've come to the opinion that this is potentially one of the more productive ones. It is not just about 3D quantum gravity-and-matter. It has also things to say about 4D gravity-and-matter...

Homework Statement Consider the linear map A : R3 ----> R3 given by A(x1, x2, x3) = (x1 − x2,−x1 + x2, x3). (a) Find the adjoint map A^*. (b) Obtain the matrix representations of A and A* with respect to the canonical basis f_1 = [1, 2, 1], f_2 = [1, 3, 2], f_3 = [0, 1, 2]...

suppose q:M -> M/R is a quotient map. i've asked my dad what is the quotient map from MxM to (M/R)x(M/R)? he told me it is qxq: MxM -> (M/R)x(M/R) defined by (qxq)(x,y) = (q(x), q(y)), but there are some conditions to be met, but he could not remember what those conditions are. i...

Dark Matter Mapped by Hubble (space.com article): http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070108_mm_darkmatter_map.html This is a very interesting article on Dark Matter and there are nice pics showing its clumpiness at varying distances from Earth. According to the last paragraph of the...

http://physicsweb.org/articles/news/10/6/3/1?rss=2.0 ===sample quote=== Levine and colleagues took previously obtained data from the hydrogen "21-cm emission lines" and applied a technique called unsharp masking to increase the contrast between high and low signal regions. They found that the...

Hi, this should be simple but it's really giving me difficulty. Does anybody know what the Boolean Equation would be for this Karnaugh Map? Thanks in advance, Oliver

Hello, I have a sum: ------- make a contour map from a height field h(x,y) = x^2 + y on the domain: [-3<_ x <_3 ; 0<_ y <_9]. Make an east-western cross section (paralell to x-axis) through the field h in the northern, middle and southern part of the domain and draw all three height...

I'm trying to understand what one-forms are. The book I'm reading says a one-form is a linear map from a vector to a real number. It uses the gradient as an example but isn't the gradient a map from a function to a vector?

We discovered that in the fungus Sordaria fimicola, a gene caused the fungus to produce normal black or mutant tan colored ascospores. Observations of crosses between normal and mutant fungi showed that 56% of the asci produced by these hybrid fungi are recombinant. This translated to a 28%...

The logistic equation; x(n+1) = rx(n)(1-x(n)) shows chaotic behavior under some values of r. It is a discrete chaotic system. Is it possible to translate it to continuous chaotic system? I tried it in the following site; http://geocities.com/tontokohirorin/mathematics/moduloid/moduloid2.htm

I have to make a concept map in Microsoft Word (Not necessarily but that's the only thing I know how to use.) but I can't figure out how. I've done it before so I can't figure out why it isn't working now...:confused: Anyone have any suggestions for making a concept map?:smile:

Hi All, I'm looking for the conformal mapping (using complex functions) that maps the unit circle (or the upper half plane) into a REGULAR polygon with n vertices. I know the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation for an ARBITRARY polygon, but that doesn't help me because the expression is way...

A paper just came out this month that makes it more certain that the Cosmic Microwave map will have to be revised, with even less quadrupole and octopole power. http://www.arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0508047/ On the large-angle anomalies of the microwave sky I opened a thread on this paper in...

What are the relations between a matrix H and its transpose H^T? I am not asking about the relations between the coefficients, I am asking the relations as linear maps (H: F^m->F^n; H^T: F^n->F^m). I am not sure exactly how I should pose the question actually, but I am thinking there is some...

I happen to think it does. I will try to say why in this thread. Other people may very likely disagree, so it is possible to have discussion about this. you can get most of CDT out of two basic papers "Dynamically..." and "Reconstructing..." the links are in my signature. I will copy them...

Okay, so I'm having problems figuring out how exactly i can map the interior of Cassini's oval (|z^2-a^2|<r^2 , 0<a<r) onto the unit disk (|w|<1), so that the axis of symmetry are preserved. Anyone know how to do this? :confused: (In this case, the cassini oval is a peanut shaped domain, i think)

I'm trying to prove some stuff that involves the projection map, say p:X x Y ->X. But I need to know if it's continuous. If a map is continuous, then the preimage of a open/closed set is open/closed. The problem is, what do open sets in X x Y look like? I know what the basis elements are...

Sorry to have posted this twice, but I didn't realize there is a special homework help section until after I'd posted in another part of the board. Anyway, any guidance in how to draw the diagram for the following problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm not sure about the position of the Z...

What I DO NOT NEED OR WANT! Star maps that show the locations of stars from any point of view on Earth. (I don't need to see views from Earth, already got plenty of resources for that. I need to be able to see what surrounding stars would look like if you were at or near OTHER stars.) I do...

Hi all, I'm trying to locate a map with a lunar "sea-level" and colors (or similar) which change based on relative altitudes. I'm striking out online in my quick 15 minute search. Does anyone know of where I should be looking? Thanks,

I was reading some article about some scientists who were able to 'read' some sort of cosmic background radiation and determine the size, shape, and age of the universe or whatever. How do they take these radiation readings and create an 'image' or understanding of the universe?
