  2. Moduli (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moduli_(physics)

    This manifold is often called the moduli space of vacua, or just the moduli space, for short. The term moduli is also used in string theory to refer to various continuous parameters that label possible string backgrounds : the expectation value of the dilaton field, the parameters (e.g. the radius and complex structure) which govern the shape ...

  3. The Sun (Golub and Pasachoff book) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_(Golub_and...

    The authors also delve into the composition of the Sun's interior, discussing seismic waves and ongoing nuclear fusion processes. They describe valuable insights provided by solar eclipses and observations from space. Furthermore, the book explores the Sun's radiation and solar particles and their effects on Earth. The book features visually ...

  4. Moduli space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moduli_space

    The moduli space is, therefore, the positive real numbers. Moduli spaces often carry natural geometric and topological structures as well. In the example of circles, for instance, the moduli space is not just an abstract set, but the absolute value of the difference of the radii defines a metric for determining when two circles are "close". The ...

  5. Category:Moduli theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Moduli_theory

    Moduli theory is a branch of the fields of algebraic geometry, complex manifolds and singularity theory.It aims to construct and study moduli spaces, which are the parameter spaces encoding the continuous variation of geometric structures (for example Riemann surfaces of fixed genus, vector bundles with holomorphic structure, singularities in families).

  6. Solar physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_physics

    Solar physics is the branch of astrophysics that specializes in the study of the Sun.It intersects with many disciplines of pure physics and astrophysics.. Because the Sun is uniquely situated for close-range observing (other stars cannot be resolved with anything like the spatial or temporal resolution that the Sun can), there is a split between the related discipline of observational ...

  7. Heliophysics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliophysics

    Heliophysics combines the science of the Sun, corona, heliosphere and geospace, and encompasses a wide variety of astronomical phenomena, including "cosmic rays and particle acceleration, space weather and radiation, dust and magnetic reconnection, nuclear energy generation and internal solar dynamics, solar activity and stellar magnetic fields ...

  8. Yang–Mills equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang–Mills_equations

    There the moduli space obtains an alternative description as a moduli space of holomorphic vector bundles. This is the Narasimhan–Seshadri theorem, which was proved in this form relating Yang–Mills connections to holomorphic vector bundles by Donaldson. [5] In this setting the moduli space has the structure of a compact Kähler manifold.

  9. Sun - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun

    The Sun is 1.4 million kilometers (4.643 light-seconds) wide, about 109 times wider than Earth, or four times the Lunar distance, and contains 99.86% of all Solar System mass. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star that makes up about 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. [26]
