hello!:

my problem is about of a theorem mathematic,as I prove the following theorem?

F(x)=F(a) + \sum^{n}_{i=1}(x^{i}-a^{i})H_{i}(x)

good first start with the fundamental theorem of calculus: (for proof):

F(x) - F(a) = \int^{x}_{a}F'(s)ds sustitution: s=t(x - a) + a \Rightarrow [a,x] to [0,1] then:
ds=dt(x - a) later:
f(x) - F(a)= (x - a)\int^{1}_{0}F'(t(x - a) +a)dt

okk my problem is how to get to the sum \sum?

is physics relativistic forum, because of this theorem I can get to the change of coordinates in the Einstein equations and find bases for the manifolds of space-time. thanks!

Your representation is a modification of the standard Taylor series representation, where Hi(a) (not Hi(x)) is related to the ith derivative of F.

Furthermore the term in parenthesis should be (x-a)i not xi - ai

I know it's not clear from what he said, but he has a different theorem in mind. Wald's statement of the theorem goes like this:
If ##F:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R## is ##C^\infty##, then for each ##a=(a^1,\dots,a^n)\in\mathbb R^n## there exist ##C^\infty## functions ##H_\mu## such that for all ##x\in\mathbb R^n## we have
$$F(x)=F(a)+\sum_{\mu=1}^n(x^\mu-a^\mu)H_\mu(x).$$ Furthermore, we have
$$H_\mu(a)=\frac{\partial F}{\partial x^\mu}\bigg|_{x=a}.$$​
A similar theorem is stated and proved in Isham's book on differential geometry, page 82. So nulliusinverb, I suggest you take a look at that.
 
Fredrick thank you very much, the book is recommended to study this issue, although the theorem is raised from other values ​​is the same. thank!

ps: "Modern Differential Geometry for Physicists" autor: Isham
 
Notation is a major problem here. xi usually means the ith power of x. For this theorem it means the ith component of a vector x ε Rn.

I suggest that, when anyone asks a question, make sure the notation is clear!
 
i apologize for the delay, here is the proof:

F:ℝ^{n}\rightarrowℝ

i have:

F(\vec{x})-F(\vec{a})= \sum^{m}_{μ=1}F(t(x^{μ}-a^{μ})+a^{μ},0...,0)^{t=1}_{t=0}
then:
=\sum^{m}_{μ=1}(x^{μ}-a^{μ})\int^{1}_{0}\frac{\partial F}{\partial u^{μ}}((t(x^{μ}-a^{μ})+a^{μ},0...,0)dt
where:

H_{μ}(\vec{x})=\int^{1}_{0}\frac{\partial F(\vec{x})}{\partial u^{μ}}dt

finally:

F(\vec{x})-F(\vec{a})= \sum^{m}_{μ=1}H_{μ}(\vec{x})(x^{μ}-a^{μ})

thanks you very much to all!
 
I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
