Killing vectors and isometry

Let $X=xpartial_{t}+tpartial_{x}$ and $Y=ypartial_{t}+tpartial_{y}$ be Killing vectors on Minkowski $(-,+,+,+)$. It can be shown that $[X,Y]$ is also Killing. I get the following:begin{equation}[X,Y]=(x-y)partial_{t}+xpartial_{y}....

Is there any way to prove that contrarly to a flat 3D space, a curved 3D space can only be constructed in a 4D manifold?

This question is a result of me trying to understand how this universe can be possibly infinite if it isn't infinitely old. So to compare with an area that is...

What is the "secret " behind canonical quantization?

The way (and perhaps most students around the world) I was taught QM is very weird. There is no intuitive explanations or understanding. Instead we were given a recipe on...

Do we specify in FBD whether the force is pull or push?

There are two cases when drawing FBD of a block resting on friction or frictionless surface.We draw at the back...

How are the units (seconds) of the dispersion constant determined?

The following is taken from Cordes [1] on pulsar astronomy.The dispersive time delay [is]$$t_mathrm{DM}=frac{e^2}{2pi m_e c} frac {int_0^Dds text{ } n_e}{nu^2} = 4.15text{ms} text{ DM } nu_{text{GHz}}^{-2} tag{3}$$...

Foucault pendulum and atmosphere

I'm a bit confused with how the foucault pendulum works. EDIT for clarity: The Foucault pendulum shows an effect which is commonly described as follows: the plane of oscillation of...

Field measurements in QFT

If I understand it correctly, QFT assigns a field operator to every point in space. For a free scalar field:$$ hat{phi}(mathbf{x},t)=int frac{d^3p}{(2pi)^3} frac{1}{sqrt{2omega_{mathbf{p}}}} left[hat{a}_{mathbf{p}}exp(-iomega_{mathbf{p}}t+i{mathbf{p}}cdotmathbf{x}) + hat{a}_{mathbf{p}}^{dagger}exp(iomega_{mathbf{p}}t-i{mathbf{p}}cdotmathbf{x})right]...

Guided Waves - Helmholtz Equation

I am having trouble understanding the Guided Fields derivation process. Firstly, We derive the Helmholtz equation easily:$Δ⋅vec{E}+ frac{∂^2vec{E}}{∂z^2} - gamma$0$⋅vec{E}= 0$Then we decompose the Helmholtz equation into two...

Force and Accleration

It's just a basic question I had when I was studying physics years back, So acceleration have two equations $$a=frac{F}{m}$$ and $$a=frac{text{d}v}{text{d}t}$$ So by the first equation, if...
