    Prove that f is constant on omega

    ##f(z)## is holomorphic on ##\Omega## so f(z) satisfies the C.R. equations, i.e., for ##f(z)=u+iv## ##u_x=v_y## ##u_y=-v_x## and for ##-f(z)=-u-iv## ##u_x=v_y \Rightarrow -u_x=-v_y## ##u_y=-v_x\Rightarrow -u_y=v_x## so -f(z) satisfies the C.R. equations and hence ##-f(z)## is holomorphic...

    I Why do some mesons have = sign while others have ≈ in their composition?

    Hello! I am reading Modern Particle Physics by Mark Thomson and in chapter 9.6.2 he writes the composition of certain mesons. However for some of them he uses an equality sign: $$|\rho^0> = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(u\bar{u}-d\bar{d})$$ while for others he writes: $$|\omega> \approx...

    I Simple harmonic oscillators on floating object in liquid

    How can I find omega on an object that is floating on water which is moving up and down on the object? The problem goes by giving you a cylindrical object with radius r and height H, pw(density of water), pc(density of circle) and x(t)=a*cos(wt). I do not understand why pw*pi*r^2*dg=pc*pi*r^2Hg

    I Hilbert's omega rule, induction, omega-consistency

    As I understand Hilbert's omega rule for a first-order proposition P over the natural numbers, P(0) &P(1) &P(2) &... ⇒ ∀n∈ℕ P(n) :star: which seems to be the same as ω-consistency. Is there a difference? Further, the axiom schema of induction has each axiom for a proposition P over the...

    B Clarification : S = K ln W and S = K ln omega

    With S = K ln W where W is probability system is in the state it is in relative to all other possible states : W = VN , V = volume, N = number of particles so ln W = N (ln V) And this expression is for non equilibrium state. For equilibrium state S = K ln Ω Then is the only difference between...

    I Inflation & Ω: Dark Matter & Energy Impact

    Inflation leads to Ω=1. But we also have Ωmatter+Ωdark matter+Ωdark energy = 1. So if there were no dark energy and dark matter present in the universe, would Ω have eventually deviated away from 1?

    I Dispersion: expansion of wavenumber as function of omega

    Hi! Dealing about wave propagation in a medium and dispersion, wavenumber k can be considered as a function of \omega (as done in Optics) or vice-versa (as maybe done more often in Quantum Mechanics). In the first case, k (\omega) \simeq k(\omega_0) + (\omega - \omega_0) \displaystyle \left...

    Omega effect: turning poloidal magnetic field into toroidal field

    Could someone please explain exactly how the omega effect works? It is supposed to explain how a poloidal magnetic field (of the sun for example, or a black hole accretion disk) becomes toroidal.

    Polar Kinematics - omega vs. theta_dot?
