Heh heh, unfortunately I can’t do that. However, many of my posts in here do (sometimes) contain exercises. I will try to make it a habit in the future.strangerep said:Heh, heh, you should write a "Theoretical Physics Challenge" thread, similar to the "Math Challenges".
Here is one relevant for relativity forum:
Use the definition [tex]T^{\mu\nu} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{-g}} \frac{\delta (\sqrt{-g}\mathcal{L})}{\delta g_{\mu\nu}} ,[/tex] to show that [tex]T^{\mu\nu} = V^{\mu}V^{\nu} (\rho - p) - g^{\mu\nu}p ,[/tex] is derivable from the Lagrangian [tex]\mathcal{L} = 2 \sigma (x) \left(1 + \pi (\sigma) \right) ,[/tex] where [itex]\sigma (x)[/itex] is the density of an isotropic fluid in some space-time region, and [itex]\pi (\sigma)[/itex] is the potential energy per unit density [itex]\sigma[/itex], i.e., the elastic potential of the fluid.
Are these in English?vanhees71 said:I think the solution is in Pauli's lectures on QFT
I learned QED from that book. In my opinion, it is the best book ever written on QED. I still use it whenever I get stuck on something.or also in Bogoliubov&Shirkov.
