  2. Affine connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_connection

    Near any point, S can be approximated by its tangent plane at that point, which is an affine subspace of Euclidean space. Differential geometers in the 19th century were interested in the notion of development in which one surface was rolled along another, without slipping or twisting .

  3. Spin connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_connection

    It is induced, in a canonical manner, from the affine connection. It can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local Lorentz transformations . In some canonical formulations of general relativity, a spin connection is defined on spatial slices and can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local rotations .

  4. Mode coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_coupling

    In the term mode coupling, as used in physics and electrical engineering, the word "mode" refers to eigenmodes of an idealized, "unperturbed", linear system. The superposition principle says that eigenmodes of linear systems are independent of each other: it is possible to excite or to annihilate a specific mode without influencing any other ...

  5. RKKY interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKKY_interaction

    Malvin Ruderman and Charles Kittel of the University of California, Berkeley first proposed the model to explain unusually broad nuclear spin resonance lines in natural metallic silver. The theory is an indirect exchange coupling : the hyperfine interaction couples the nuclear spin of one atom to a conduction electron also coupled to the spin ...

  6. Connection (affine bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(affine_bundle)

    Let Y → X be an affine bundle modelled over a vector bundle Y → X. A connection Γ on Y → X is called the affine connection if it as a section Γ : Y → J 1 Y of the jet bundle J 1 Y → Y of Y is an affine bundle morphism over X. In particular, this is an affine connection on the tangent bundle TX of a smooth manifold X. (That is, the ...

  7. Cartan connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartan_connection

    Near to any point, S can be approximated by its tangent plane at that point, which is an affine subspace of Euclidean space. The affine subspaces are model surfaces—they are the simplest surfaces in R 3, and are homogeneous under the Euclidean group of the plane, hence they are Klein geometries in the sense of Felix Klein's Erlangen programme.

  8. Connection (principal bundle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_(principal_bundle)

    If the principal bundle P is the frame bundle, or (more generally) if it has a solder form, then the connection is an example of an affine connection, and the curvature is not the only invariant, since the additional structure of the solder form θ, which is an equivariant R n-valued 1-form on P, should be taken into account.

  9. Hyperfine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfine_structure

    Here, the electric quadrupole interaction is due to the 14 N-nucleus, the hyperfine nuclear spin-spin splitting is from the magnetic coupling between nitrogen, 14 N (I N = 1), and hydrogen, 1 H (I H = 1 ⁄ 2), and a hydrogen spin-rotation interaction due to the 1 H-nucleus. These contributing interactions to the hyperfine structure in the ...
