Given $N$ spins, which eigenspaces of total angular momentum $S^2$ are linked by flipping a single spin?

Suppose we have $N$ spin-1/2 particles and let $vec{S} = frac{hbar}{2}sum_{n=1}^Nvec{sigma_n}$ be the total spin vector operator, with $vec{sigma}_n = (sigma_n^x,sigma_n^y,sigma_n^z)$ the Pauli spin matrices of the...

Sound attenuation in a free fermi gas

In Feynman's book on statistical mechanics, he stated that sound cannot propagate in a collisionless electron gas. It is on page 245. I do not fully understand his argument. We...

Why are objects at rest in motion through spacetime at the speed of light?

I read that an object at rest has such a stupendous amount of energy, $E=mc^2$ because it's effectively in motion through space-time at the speed of light and it's traveling...

What physical phenomenon best explains the region of very short half-lives on table of nuclides?

On this interactive table of nuclides, there is a region just "north east" of $^{208}text{Pb}$ and $^{209}text{Bi}$ with extremely unstable nuclides (the yellow/pink/light green squares)....

Can the magnetic field at one end of a long solenoid be calculated using Ampère's Law?

I know that at the ends of a long solenoid induced magnetic field is $B= (μ_0NI)/2$. This is found by either integration or considering it as a part of...

Metric independent affine connections

Normally, the affine connections are objects that define parallel transport. In general Relativity they are the Christoffel symbols of the second kind. Consequently, they depend on the metric tensor. Is...
