Hi Pfs,
I read these slides:
https://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/782/attachments/1851/1997/Connes.pdf
It is about non commutative geometry (Alain Connes)
After Shapes II, you see a the plots of the square roots of a sequence of numbers given below:
5/4, 2, 5/2, 13/4 ....
I think that they are the solutions of laplacian equation related to the shape of the "drums" above. that is to say the frequencies one can get when hitting this drums.
How to retrieve this infinite sequence?
It is at page 50
thanks
 
Physics news on Phys.org
In this article Connes gives an example of two isospectral drums (which are non connex).
One drum with a triangle and a quare and the other with a rectangle and a different triangle.
I found this
https://math.libretexts.org/Bookshe...ons/6.01:_Vibrations_of_Rectangular_Membranes
explaining how to get the possible frequencies emitted by a square or rectangular drum.
Do you know what are the frequencies ommitted by a trangular drum (half a square)?
 
Thread closed for Moderation...
 
Since the OP has found their answer, this thread can be closed now.
 
I thought of posting this under Particle Physics, but it does go slightly beyond standard model, and in a way that could point to some larger theories, so I post it here. "A path to confine gluons and fermions through complex gauge theory" (Amaral et al 2020) "New picture on the mesons mass relations" (Amaral et al 2025) I'll try to summarize. There is a conventional explanation for the masses of the pions, kaons, and eta mesons. Eight of them are Goldstone bosons of the broken chiral...
