Does first quantization perturbation theory imply a large scale web of electron entanglement?

user26143 gives a correct argument about the effects of entanglement in two-atom processes, but specifically to your question, I have to reiterate the answer 1) You are not talking about entanglement …

Integrability of the many-body problem

Statement of problem One of the key insights of the KAM theorem is that not all modes of the perturbation have the same size. Consider an unperturbed integrable Hamiltonian $H_0(J^A)$, where the indic …

Validity of weak gravitational field approximation (Schutz's First course in GR)

You are correct, you cannot assume that $h_{\mu\nu,\gamma} \ll 1$ based only on the fact that $h_{\mu\nu} \ll 1$. The fact that $h_{\mu\nu,\gamma} \ll 1/L$, and that $h_{\mu\nu,\gamma\delta} \ll 1/L^2 …

Post-Newtonian approximation for binary gravitating system

The Post-Newtonian expansion allows us to describe the gravitational dynamics of the given situation in terms of Newtonian forces acting on a "Galilean" i.e. non-relativistic bodies. However, this mea …

Exact solution for the perturbation of the inverse metric

Notice that you are asking for the general form of the inverse matrix of some $A+B$ only under the assumption that we know the inverse $A^{-1}$ and that $A+B$ is non-degenerate. In dimension 4 there i …
