AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on seeking online resources about the Bianchi identity related to p-form fields, specifically the equation dF=0. The inquiry includes a desire to understand the physical implications of a violated Bianchi identity. A recommended resource for further reading is the book "Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity" by John Baez. This source is suggested as a comprehensive reference for the topic. Understanding the Bianchi identity is crucial for exploring its applications in theoretical physics.

Dear All
Does anyone have an online (preferably) source on the Bianchi identity
on p-form fields (dF=0)? I would like to read more on the various
cases, particularly the physical meaning of a violated Bianchi
identity.
Thanks ...

Dear Moataz,

I think the best place for this is the book "Gauge Fields, Knots and Gravity" by John Baez.

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
