    Is the Pauli-Lubanski Vector Always Zero?

    Homework Statement Hi i've noticed that, J^{ab}P^c + J^{bc}P^a+J^{ca}P^b = 0 [ Since J^{ab}P^c + J^{bc}P^a+J^{ca}P^b = x^a\partial^b\partial^c -x^b\partial^a\partial^c + x^b\partial^c\partial^a-x^c\partial^b\partial^a+x^c\partial^a\partial^b-x^a\partial^c\partial^b = 0 ] Next, I tried it on...

    Integrating exponent to get delta function

    I looked at it again. At my second method. I had to change the integral limits as well, and that fixes it.

    Integrating exponent to get delta function

    Something i ran into while doing hw Homework Statement starting with \int{dx} e^{-ikx}\delta(x) = 1 we conclude by Fourier theory that \int{dk} e^{+ikx} = \delta(x) Now, i try to compute \int{dk} e^{-ikx} (I've dropped the normalization factors of 2\pi. I believe no harm is done by...

    Best way to visualise data outputted from a C program

    You can use MATLAB to draw the blocks and springs, if that's what you're after. Draw the blocks in the correct locations, than add each spring. If you have fully licensed matlab, you can even save it as an AVI.

    A simple equality of Generalized Lorentz Operators

    Homework Statement Hi we have Lorentz operators J^{\mu\nu} = i(x^{\mu}\partial^{\nu} - x^{\nu}\partial^{\mu}) and these have [J^{\mu\nu}, J^{\rho\sigma}] = i(\eta^{\nu\rho}J^{\mu\sigma} + \eta^{\mu\sigma}J^{\nu\rho} - \eta^{\mu\rho}J^{\nu\sigma} - \eta^{\nu\sigma}J^{\mu\rho}) Now define...

    Defiunition of kroneker delta as a tensor

    hi, the delta symbol as a tensor (in the minkovski space, in case one has to be specific), what is it exactly? is it \delta^a_b = \frac{\partial{x^a}}{\partial{x^b}} is it \delta^a_b = g^{ac} g_{cb}or is there some other definition?thanks

    How Does a Harmonic Oscillator Behave When Traveling at Constant Velocity?

    hi, i'm trying to see how does an HO, traveling with constant speed v looks like. suppose a unitless system H = P^2+(X-vt)^2 define Y = X-vt then H = P^2+Y^2 i can see that [P,Y] = -i (unitless - no h-bar) so i guess it means that P and Y are conjugate space/momentum operators...
