AI Thread Summary
Kac's 1968 seminar at the Trondheim Theoretical Physics Seminar is noted as the origin of the Replica Trick concept. There is a search for a copy of this work, as its current status is uncertain. Participants suggest checking Trondheim's library database for availability. Obtaining a copy may be challenging, but it is not deemed impossible. Efforts are underway to locate this historical document.

Seems that in 1968 Kac gave a seminar where the first idea of the Replica Trick appeared. It was the Trodheim Theoretical Physics Seminar. Do someone has a copy of this work or is it lost?

why not check at trondheim's libraries' database?
if this seminar took place there, then probably they have a copy of it.
although it seems pretty tough to get them send you a copy of it, although not impossible. (-:
 
I'll try. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'

Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...

Thread 'Do electron density waves accompany EM waves in coaxial cables?'

Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
