how do u know what happens when u add to numbers, how do u know that they get larger define larger. we may not be dealing with numbers all we know is that its a ring. we don't know what 1 is it is just the muliplictive inverse. it may not be a number
you are assuming that we are dealing with numbers and with our normal addition. addition can be defined in any way. that's my problem just becuase it is a ring does not mean we are dealing with numbers or at the least the regular def of addition and multiplication
consider a general one dimensional potential v(x) drive an expression for the commutator [H,P] where h is hamiltonian operator and momentum operator. i keep getting zero and i don't think i should. since next part of homework question sais what condition must v(x) satisfy so that momentum will...
