    Is there any tensor that gives the radius of a sphere?

    Can I calculate a tensor of a system( lots of particles) shaped like a sphere, then get exactly the radius of the system? (I want to get lengths of three axes of ellipsoid, and I'm trying to examine the way with a sphere. )

    I Solving for the Missing Factor: Jumping into a Non-Rotating Black Hole

    I omitted ##\frac{1}{2}## only here. I actually calculated with it so it changes nothing, sorry for the mistake! But I've done considering ##x^3## term and got ##\frac{2}{3}## factor. Thank you!

    I Solving for the Missing Factor: Jumping into a Non-Rotating Black Hole

    I'm reading Lambourne's <Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology>, and I cannot get a result the book describes. It's on equation (6.7) in 173p. When a person free-falls into a non-rotating black hole from ##r=r_0## to some position ##r=r'##, the proper time becomes...

    I Temperature limits on Debye's Calculationp

    Debye assumed sound wave dispersion relation for phonons(##ω=vK##) and this corresponds to acoustic modes in low frequency limits. That's why it explains low temperature heat capacity fairly well. But how could this also explain high temperature limit(##C=3k_B## per atom)? I know Debye...

    I Gravitational DE(?) from Schwartzschild spacetime

    Imagining that an object spining around a spherical mass M has angular momentum that has z-component(θ=0) only, then $$g_{μν}\frac{dx^μ}{dτ}\frac{dx^ν}{dτ}=(1-\frac{r_s}{r})c^2(\frac{dt}{dτ})^2-\frac{1}{1-\frac{r_s}{r}}(\frac{dr}{dτ})^2-r^2(\frac{dθ}{dτ})^2-r^2\sin^2θ(\frac{dφ}{dτ})^2=c^2$$...

    Is the momentum of a system conserved even with friction?

    @russ_watters @jtbell Oops yes It's conventional 2d collision! And the friction I mentioned is between the floor and objects.

    Is the momentum of a system conserved even with friction?

    It's really confusing if the frictional force IS an external force.. My guess is the frictional force isn't an external force and therefore I can observe the momentum conservation even with friction if I carefully measure the velocity right before and after the collision. But I'm not sure about it..

    I Density of States: 1-Dim Linear Phonons & Electrons Differences

    okay I want to get how many phonon states(dN) are in [K, K+dK] in 1d K-space. For a state occupies small length ##\frac{2π}{a}## by periodic boundary condition, ##dN=\frac{dK}{\frac{2π}{a}}##.

    I Density of States: 1-Dim Linear Phonons & Electrons Differences

    ? I meant two electrons with two different spin types..up and down. That's why we should multiply 2 in electron case. What I calculated by ##\frac{dk}{\frac{2π}{a}}## is spatial part, not including spin part.

    I Density of States: 1-Dim Linear Phonons & Electrons Differences

    I'm to get the density of states of 1-dim linear phonons, with N atoms. I think it's a lot similar to that of 1-dim electrons, except that two electrons are allowed to be in one state by Pauli exclusion principle. To elaborate, ##dN=\frac{dk}{\frac{2π}{a}}=\frac{a}{2π}dk## for...

    I Riemann curvature tensor derivation

    Riemann tensor is defined mathematically like this: ##∇_k∇_jv_i-∇_j∇_kv_i={R^l}_{ijk}v_l## Using covariant derivative formula for covariant tensors and covariant vectors. which are ##∇_av_b=∂_av_b-{Γ^c}_{ab}v_c## ##∇_aT_{bc}=∂_av_{bc}-{Γ^d}_{ac}v_{db}-{Γ^d}_{ab}v_{dc} ##, I got these...
