Graduate Most proper time in Schwarzchild metric
Hi In the Schwarzschild metric, the proper time is given by c^{2}dτ^{2} = (1- \frac{2\Phi}{c^2})c^2 dt^2 - r^2 dθ^2 with where \Phi is the gravitational potential. I have left out the d\phi and dr terms. If there is a particle moving in a circle of radius R at constant angular velocity ω...- stallm

Graduate Solving a Momentum Question: Struggling with Simple Cons?
Hi, I've been struggling with this question for a while, can't help but think I'm missing something obvious Let's say I have a particle of rest mass 2m. In the frame S, it moves with velocity v. S' is the rest frame of the particle. In S, the momentum of the particle (c=1)...- stallm

Graduate Complex conjugate of a derivative wrt z
That would be alright, because f*=z, so ∂(f*)/∂(z*) =0, so the formula works for this function -

Graduate Complex conjugate of a derivative wrt z
First post! Is it true that for a complex function f({z},\overline{z}) \overline{\frac{∂f}{∂z}} =\frac{∂\overline{f}}{∂\overline{z}} I think I proved this while trying to solve a problem. If it turns out it's not true and I've made a mistake, I'll upload my 'proof' and have the mistakes...
