renormalize's latest activity

After moderator review, the thread will remain closed. As @FactChecker points out, the fact that the EM interaction is involved in some...

Yes, I've had the same experience recently on some, but not all, threads with new posts.

Can this model be viable? Isn't the predicted proton lifetime in simple SU(5) ruled out by experiment? (I recall a 40+ year old...

I don't know about Manin, but complex gauge theory has seen use in pure math, e.g. in the Hitchin fibration (also known as the theory of...

I have a recollection from studying Yang-Mills theory (decades ago!) that the gauge-field for a complex, non-compact group is plagued...

Or, assuming the roots ##r_k## of your cubic are all real, you can perhaps simply look up your integral in Gradshteyn and Ryzhik, Table...

Which brings me back to what was my original problem, which is to work out how to get my cubic expression...

Yes, planar-scanned lasers are often used for special-effects in movies. An example is this shot from the opening of Aliens, where a...

Why not? "Sealion" could just be a regular seal with a charge on it.

Just keep in mind the PF site rule (https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/physics-forums-global-guidelines.414380/): Philosophical...

Good observation! You're absolutely correct, up to a sign: depending on the specific values of the roots ##r_2,r_3\,##, the two ratios...

There are doubtless entire monographs devoted to elliptic integrals, but one concise reference is: Handbook of Mathematical Functions...

Looks like the younger version of the star child from 2001!

It is finished for submission, and I put it online to get some early feedback before actually submitting it (in a few weeks). So the...

Is your paper submitted for, or in the process of, publication?
