Momentum space, or wavevector space, the vector space of possible values of momentum for a particle; k-space (magnetic resonance imaging) Another name for a compactly generated space in topology; K-space (functional analysis) is an F-space such that every twisted sum by the real line splits; K-Space (band), a British-Siberian music ensemble
Reciprocal space (also called k-space) provides a way to visualize the results of the Fourier transform of a spatial function. It is similar in role to the frequency domain arising from the Fourier transform of a time dependent function; reciprocal space is a space over which the Fourier transform of a spatial function is represented at spatial frequencies or wavevectors of plane waves of the ...
For any n-dimensional real vector space V we can form the kth-exterior power of V, denoted Λ k V. This is a real vector space of dimension (). The vector space Λ n V (called the top exterior power) therefore has dimension 1. That is, Λ n V is just a real line. There is no a priori choice of which direction on this line is positive. An ...
The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...
In mathematics and physics, the right-hand rule is a convention and a mnemonic, utilized to define the orientation of axes in three-dimensional space and to determine the direction of the cross product of two vectors, as well as to establish the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.
For Euclidean spaces, k = n, implying that the quadratic form is positive-definite. [2] When 0 < k < n, then q is an isotropic quadratic form. Note that if 1 ≤ i ≤ k < j ≤ n, then q(e i + e j) = 0, so that e i + e j is a null vector. In a pseudo-Euclidean space with k < n, unlike in a Euclidean space, there exist vectors with negative ...
The signature of a metric tensor is defined as the signature of the corresponding quadratic form. [2] It is the number (v, p, r) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of any matrix (i.e. in any basis for the underlying vector space) representing the form, counted with their algebraic multiplicities.
The local geometry of the universe is determined by whether the relative density Ω is less than, equal to or greater than 1. From top to bottom: a spherical universe with greater than critical density (Ω>1, k>0); a hyperbolic, underdense universe (Ω<1, k<0); and a flat universe with exactly the critical density (Ω=1, k=0). The spacetime of ...
