Hello, I am deciding on which PhD program to accept, I have narrowed it down to to three choices: 1. UC Merced physics Program 2. Nebraska University at Lincoln 3. Kansas State University in Manhattan Kansas. I am leaning towards Nebraska, though I am still interested in UC Merced...

Nearly everyone has some talent for mathematics, the difference is how long it will take you to learn and master the mathematics needed for string theory. Learning the mathematics will probably take less time if you have a talent for maths, and more time if you have less talent. Either way it...

The reason why Polchinski showed that T satisfies the C-R conditions is so that he can then state that T is analytic/holomorphic/differentiable at some point z0 in an epsilon neighborhood where T satisfies those conditions. It is guaranteed by a Theorem, for reference; Brown/Churchill, Complex...

A complex function is analytic in an open set if it has a derivative at each point in the set. Yes exactly right. If the function is analytic at every point in the disk |z-z0|<R2 all the coefficients bn are zero. Basically you can make the annulus into a disk. Simply because a function...

The key idea is how do you define the domain D? If you exclude the singular points from your domain then your function is analytic on the modified domain. This is the reason why the domain of a Laurent expansion is restricted to an annular ring, you exclude the singular point. Mathworld has a...

In the book Complex Analysis by Brown and Churchill, 6th ed, pg 150 they present a Theorem that states: "Suppose that a function f is analytic throughout an annular domain R1 < |z-z0| <R2, and let C denote any positively oriented simple closed contour around z0 and lying that domain. Then, at...

I have heard physicists say, “physics is not mathematics”, which is true, I have no qualms with that statement. Yet, it may also be true that it is much easier to learn advanced physics when you have learned some advanced mathematics, especially the mathematics used in the field of physics you...

Exactly right Marcus, Lisa Randall appeared on the Charlie Rose Program yesterday Dec 12. Here is a link: http://www.charlierose.com/ I don't believe it was a rebroadcast, great move on part of her publicist.

You had a great blog Mrs. Dantas, I specifically liked your booklist for LQG. I respect your decision though, best wishes.

What does she mean by "The End"?

Maybe she is moving her blog to another host? Or did google delete her blog for some reason?

Are you related to the current pope? Or are you the current pope? To master M-Theory you will need to have working knowledge of the following areas of mathematics: http://www.superstringtheory.com/math/index.html" The list above is outdated but it is a good start. If you look at...

We would all like to help you but the more questions you ask because you didn’t start from “the ground up” the less people are going to be willing to help you. Don't let your ego get in the way of learning physics and math in a manner that would be easier not only for you but, for everyone else...

Just in case you don't know about this book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/9810200994/?tag=pfamazon01-20 It is well ranked in amazon. Good luck in your studies.
