  2. Conformal field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_field_theory

    For example, the 4d Maxwell theory (in the absence of charged matter fields) is a mean field theory built out of an antisymmetric tensor field with scaling dimension =. Mean field theories have a Lagrangian description in terms of a quadratic action involving Laplacian raised to an arbitrary real power (which determines the scaling dimension of ...

  3. Conformal symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_symmetry

    In mathematical physics, the conformal symmetry of spacetime is expressed by an extension of the Poincaré group, known as the conformal group; in layman's terms, it refers to the fact that stretching, compressing or otherwise distorting spacetime preserves the angles between lines or curves that exist within spacetime. [citation needed]

  4. Conformon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformon

    Therefore, conformons can be defined as packets of conformational energy generated from substrate binding or chemical reactions and confined within biopolymers. [1] On the other hand, from a physics standpoint, the conformon is a localization of elastic and electronic energy which may propagate in space with or without dissipation. [2]

  5. Quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mechanics

    Quantum mechanics is a fundamental theory that describes the behavior of nature at and below the scale of atoms. [2]: 1.1 It is the foundation of all quantum physics, which includes quantum chemistry, quantum field theory, quantum technology, and quantum information science.

  6. AdS/CFT correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdS/CFT_correspondence

    By 2015, Maldacena's article had over 10,000 citations, becoming the most highly cited article in the field of high energy physics. [ 4 ] One of the most prominent examples of the AdS/CFT correspondence has been the AdS5/CFT4 correspondence: a relation between N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions and type IIB superstring ...

  7. Energy operator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_operator

    Working from the definition, a partial solution for a wavefunction of a particle with a constant energy can be constructed. If the wavefunction is assumed to be separable, then the time dependence can be stated as e − i E t / ℏ {\displaystyle e^{-iEt/\hbar }} , where E is the constant energy.

  8. Energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy

    Examples of large transformations between rest energy (of matter) and other forms of energy (e.g., kinetic energy into particles with rest mass) are found in nuclear physics and particle physics. Often, however, the complete conversion of matter (such as atoms) to non-matter (such as photons) is forbidden by conservation laws .

  9. Planck relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planck_relation

    The Planck relation [1] [2] [3] (referred to as Planck's energy–frequency relation, [4] the Planck–Einstein relation, [5] Planck equation, [6] and Planck formula, [7] though the latter might also refer to Planck's law [8] [9]) is a fundamental equation in quantum mechanics which states that the energy E of a photon, known as photon energy, is proportional to its frequency ν: =.
