Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between an observable C and a complex potential B, specifically whether the equilibrium state can provide insights into the values of B and its conjugate at that state. The focus includes theoretical implications and the use of LaTeX formatting in the presentation of mathematical expressions.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a relationship between an observable C and a complex potential B, questioning whether the known value of C at an equilibrium state allows for conclusions about B or its conjugate.
  • Another participant points out formatting issues with LaTeX, suggesting that the use of single '#' characters instead of double '##' may lead to unintended formatting outcomes.
  • Further replies clarify the formatting concerns, with participants discussing the implications of LaTeX rendering on their posts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the formatting issues related to LaTeX but do not reach a consensus on the implications of the relationship between C and B.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes unresolved questions about the relationship between the observable and the complex potential, as well as the impact of formatting on the clarity of mathematical expressions.

I have an observable denoted by C, related to a complex potential B by :

## C= \bar{B}B ,##

where ##B## is a complex potential. I know that ## \left. C \right|_0 =C_0 ##, a known constant, where the evaluation at ##_0## denotes an equilibrium \ reference state. From this, I can not make any conclusions on ## \left. B \right|_0##, or ## \left. \bar{B} \right|_0## can I ?

Thanks.

You forgot to use '##'. It is always a good practice to preview Latex to make sure it is doing what you want.

i didn't, it just created it on a new line and i didnt want that.
 
In your first post, I see a lot of single '#'s. Those should all be double '##'.
 
i thought double creates a new line. anyway, it wont let me edit it now.
 
(LaTex fixed)
