In complex analysis, Liouville's theorem, named after Joseph Liouville (although the theorem was first proven by Cauchy in 1844 [1]), states that every bounded entire function must be constant. That is, every holomorphic function f {\displaystyle f} for which there exists a positive number M {\displaystyle M} such that | f ( z ) | ≤ M ...
In physics, Liouville's theorem, named after the French mathematician Joseph Liouville, is a key theorem in classical statistical and Hamiltonian mechanics.It asserts that the phase-space distribution function is constant along the trajectories of the system—that is that the density of system points in the vicinity of a given system point traveling through phase-space is constant with time.
Liouville's theorem has various meanings, all mathematical results named after Joseph Liouville: In complex analysis, see Liouville's theorem (complex analysis) There is also a related theorem on harmonic functions
In physics, Liouville field theory (or simply Liouville theory) is a two-dimensional conformal field theory whose classical equation of motion is a generalization of Liouville's equation. Liouville theory is defined for all complex values of the central charge c {\displaystyle c} of its Virasoro symmetry algebra , but it is unitary only if
For Liouville's equation in Euclidean space, see Liouville–Bratu–Gelfand equation. In differential geometry, Liouville's equation, named after Joseph Liouville, [1] [2] is the nonlinear partial differential equation satisfied by the conformal factor f of a metric f 2 (dx 2 + dy 2) on a surface of constant Gaussian curvature K:
newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2) shear modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) gluon field strength tensor: inverse length squared (1/m 2) acceleration due to gravity: meters per second squared (m/s 2), or equivalently, newtons per kilogram (N/kg) magnetic field strength
In quantum mechanics, the Gorini–Kossakowski–Sudarshan–Lindblad equation (GKSL equation, named after Vittorio Gorini, Andrzej Kossakowski, George Sudarshan and Göran Lindblad), master equation in Lindblad form, quantum Liouvillian, or Lindbladian is one of the general forms of Markovian master equations describing open quantum systems.
One of these examples is Liouville's constant L = 0.110001000000000000000001 … , {\displaystyle L=0.110001000000000000000001\ldots ,} in which the n th digit after the decimal point is 1 if n {\displaystyle n} is the factorial of a positive integer and 0 otherwise.
