  2. Background independence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_independence

    Manifest background independence is primarily an aesthetic rather than a physical requirement. It is analogous and closely related to requiring in differential geometry that equations be written in a form that is independent of the choice of charts and coordinate embeddings. If a background-independent formalism is present, it can lead to ...

[1] [2] It was taken by Charles O'Rear, a former National Geographic photographer and resident of St. Helena, California, in the Napa Valley region north of San Francisco, while on his way to visit his girlfriend in ...

  5. Mathematical beauty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_beauty

    Mathematical beauty is the aesthetic pleasure derived from the abstractness, purity, simplicity, depth or orderliness of mathematics. Mathematicians may express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful or describe mathematics as an art form, (a position taken by G. H. Hardy [ 1 ] ) or, at a ...

  6. Background field method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_field_method

    In theoretical physics, background field method is a useful procedure to calculate the effective action of a quantum field theory by expanding a quantum field around a classical "background" value B: = + (). After this is done, the Green's functions are evaluated as a function of the background.

  7. Dynamical pictures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamical_pictures

    In quantum mechanics, dynamical pictures (or representations) are the multiple equivalent ways to mathematically formulate the dynamics of a quantum system.. The two most important ones are the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture.

  9. Frame of reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_of_reference

    In physics and astronomy, a frame of reference (or reference frame) is an abstract coordinate system, whose origin, orientation, and scale have been specified in physical space. It is based on a set of reference points , defined as geometric points whose position is identified both mathematically (with numerical coordinate values) and ...
