SUMMARY
The discussion revolves around the cylindrical coordinate transformation in the context of Galilean transformations, specifically the equations r → r - 2qz and ψ → ψ + q·(r - qz). This transformation is referenced in section 6.5 of the book "Optical Solitons: From Fibers to Photonic Crystals." The participants seek clarification on the derivation of these equations and whether they are associated with a specific theorem or expression.
