### Ricci tensor for a 3-sphere without Math packets

Let's have the metric for a 3-sphere: $$dl^{2} = R^{2}\left(d\psi ^{2} + sin^{2}(\psi )(d \theta ^{2} + sin^{2}(\theta ) d \varphi^{2})\right).$$ I tried to calculate Riemann or Ricci tensor's ...

### How can an asymptotic expansion give an extremely accurate predication, as in QED?

What is the meaning of "twenty digits accuracy" of certain QED calculations? If I take too little loops, or too many of them, the result won't be as accurate, so do people stop adding loops when the ...

### Is it possible to have topological degeneracy in 1D ?

I mean to have q-fold degenerate ground states on a ring which could not be lifted by local perturbation. If the answer is no, then what is the physical (or mathematical) reason against having such ...

### Elementary question on pion-proton scattering cross-section

Is $E_k$ the energy of the outgoing or incoming pion? The first peak is supposed to be a delta baryon. What does the graph tell us, experimentally? A pion of kinetic energy x comes in, then we ...

### Interaction photons-matter and dimensional analysis

I know that when photons pass through matter, the law that describes the intensity in function of the thickness is: $$I(x)=I_0 e^{-\mu x}$$ where $\mu = \rho \frac{N_a}{A} \sigma$ and ...
