Inverse Definition and 1000 Threads

I am working through Lessons in Particle Physics by Luis Anchordoqui and Francis Halzen. The link is https://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/0906/0906.1271v2.pdf. I am on page 21. Between equations (1.5.53) and (1.5.54), the authors make the following statement: ##S^\dagger ( \Lambda ) = \gamma ^0...

Let's say you can bend a paper...how about bending it upward. a slope I'm saying as we saw spactime in 3d...we all know how it looks..the lines are attracted toward Earth but why doesn't it deflects them and maybe negative mass is linked with it. In other words, someone under the trampoline...

Hi all, so I'm not sure if what I'm asking is trivial or interesting, but is there any general or canonical way to interpret say, The follwing operator? (Specifically in the study of quantum mechanics): A = 1/(d/dx) (I do not mean d-1/dx-1, which is the antiderivative operator ) How would...

Hi PF! I'm reviewing a text and the author writes where ##g## is an arbitrary function and ##B## is a differential operator. ##Bo## is a parameter. Then the author states the inverse of ##B## is where ##G## is the Green's function of ##B##. Can someone explain how we know this?

The following matrix A is, \begin{equation} A= \begin{bmatrix} a+b-\sigma\cdot p & -x_1 \\ x_2 & a-b-\sigma\cdot p \end{bmatrix} \end{equation} The inversion of matrix A is, \begin{equation} A^{-1}= \frac{\begin{bmatrix} a-b-\sigma\cdot p & x_1 \\ -x_2 & a+b-\sigma\cdot p...

Hi, I'm struggling to understand something. Does domain restriction work the same way for composition of inverse functions as it does for other composite functions? I would assume it does, but the end result seems counter-intuitive. For example: If I have the function f(x) = 1/(1+x), with...

How do I solve this. Getting an inverse alone seems to be a quite long route. Is there an easier way of doing this?

Hello all, I have posted on Physics Forums a few times in the past, but mostly for help with my old physics classes and not anything in the real world. Part of my work involves radiography, but it is generally done in a field environment where we just shut down large sections of land to safely...

If the inverse square law for gravity varies with distance or distribution of matter, might the need for “dark matter” be obviated?

2 sound waves that are mathematical polarities cancel each other out according to my audio engineering book. I thought energy cannot be destroyed, just changed. Am I wrong? What happens to the energy? Same question could be applied to matter and anti matter right?

I know that one can easily prove the result that a function is injective if and only if that function has a left inverse. But is there intuitive reason for this? Same goes for the fact that having a right inverse is equivalent to being surjective. Why are the properties of injectivity and...

As I understand it, in the context of cosmological perturbation theory, one expands the metric tensor around a background metric (in this case Minkowski spacetime) as $$g_{\mu\nu}=\eta_{\mu\nu}+\kappa h_{\mu\nu}$$ where ##h_{\mu\nu}## is a metric tensor and ##\kappa <<1##. My question is, how...

We use A = I.A as equation and then by transforming only A of LHS and I of RHS we come to I = P.A and we say that P is the inverse of matrix A My question is that why we only tranform A and I, why A of RHS is left as it is during the transformation, or why transformation do not take place in...

the graph of sin inverse (sin x) between the domain of ( -pi/2,pi/2) is y = x. but after it crosses that domain of course the expression won't be the same anymore because sin inverse has its principle value as ( - pi/2, pi/2) due to sin x many to one natured function. now the way these...

Then it goes on explaining how Gauss law would fail because for a very large surface, E field would be vanish with flux through it and though we can calculate div for this field it won't depend on source density. But I don't get what makes this particular function so evil that it would break...

Homework Statement I have to take the inverse Laplace of this function (xoms+bxo)/(ms2+bs+k) this can not be broken into partial fractions because it just gives me the same thing I started with. How is this done? This is coming from the laplace of the position function for a harmonic oscillator...

Isn't Inverse Compton scattering just the Doppler's effect? A fast moving electron gets slowed down by a photon. This photon then becomes blue shifted, becoming a gamma ray. Kinda makes sense.
