  2. Symmetry in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry_in_quantum_mechanics

    In quantum electrodynamics, the local symmetry group is U(1) and is abelian. In quantum chromodynamics, the local symmetry group is SU(3) and is non-abelian. The electromagnetic interaction is mediated by photons, which have no electric charge. The electromagnetic tensor has an electromagnetic four-potential field possessing gauge symmetry.

  3. Crossing (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    For example, the annihilation of an electron with a positron into two photons is related to an elastic scattering of an electron with a photon (Compton scattering) by crossing symmetry. This relation allows to calculate the scattering amplitude of one process from the amplitude for the other process if negative values of energy of some ...

  4. Symmetry (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The above ideas lead to the useful idea of invariance when discussing observed physical symmetry; this can be applied to symmetries in forces as well.. For example, an electric field due to an electrically charged wire of infinite length is said to exhibit cylindrical symmetry, because the electric field strength at a given distance r from the wire will have the same magnitude at each point on ...

  7. CPT symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPT_symmetry

    CPT is the only combination of C, P, and T that is observed to be an exact symmetry of nature at the fundamental level. [1] [2] The CPT theorem says that CPT symmetry holds for all physical phenomena, or more precisely, that any Lorentz invariant local quantum field theory with a Hermitian Hamiltonian must have CPT symmetry.

  8. Eightfold way (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The symmetry in these patterns is a hint of the underlying symmetry of the strong interaction between the particles themselves. In the plots below, points representing particles that lie along the same horizontal line share the same strangeness, s , while those on the same left-leaning diagonals share the same electric charge, q (given as ...

    Venn diagram of = . The symmetric difference is equivalent to the union of both relative complements, that is: [1] = (), The symmetric difference can also be expressed using the XOR operation ⊕ on the predicates describing the two sets in set-builder notation:
