### Warped AdS${}_3$ and symmetry breaking

In this article it is explained how on can (in suitable coordinate basis) get a so called warped AdS${}_3$ black hole, by introducing a warping factor. The original metric in 'Euler coordinates' for ...

### Example of application of creation/annihilation operators in matrix form

I was wondering how it would sound like the creation/annihilation of particles that we usually do in the context of Dirac formalism, with matrices and vectors. As a reminder we know that: ...

### Why does angle deviation of a satellite not captured my Mars decreases as the Velocity of the satellite increases?

When a satellite is not captured by a planet, it is moving sufficiently fast. so why is it that the angle deviation of the satellite decreases as its initial velocity increases?

### Why polarization vector $= (0,1,i,0)$?

I know from CED that one has e.g. polarization $$\vec{E}(z,t) = \begin{bmatrix} e_{x} \\ e_{y} \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} \; e^{i(kz - 2 \pi f t)}.$$ Why do Peskin&Schroeder define a polarization ...

### Simple Experimental Laser Characterization Parameters Ideas?

I have 2 months to do a project on characterization of a laser parameter. We have typical optics lab equipment (DFB Lasers, oscilloscopes, random number generator, etc.). I was told to choose a laser ...

### Parity transformation for spinors (pinors) in odd spacetime dimensions

What is the transformation law for spinors (pinors) under parity in an odd number of spacetime dimensions? I know how to derive the transformation properties of spinors (pinors) under parity in an ...

### No valid Feynman diagram for processes

This will likely be easy for anyone experienced in particle physics, but I'm not. I'm asked to explain why it is impossible to construct a valid Feynman diagram using Standard Model vertices for the ...

### 2D Harmonic Oscillator Commutators

So I am given a 2-dimensional harmonic oscillator with $H=H_1+H_2$ where $$H_i=\frac{p_i^2}{2m}+\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2x_i^2$$ Additionally, $$L=x_1p_2-x_2p_1$$ If we define ...
