  2. Yang–Baxter equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang–Baxter_equation

    Let be a unital associative algebra.In its most general form, the parameter-dependent Yang–Baxter equation is an equation for (, ′), a parameter-dependent element of the tensor product (here, and ′ are the parameters, which usually range over the real numbers ℝ in the case of an additive parameter, or over positive real numbers ℝ + in the case of a multiplicative parameter).

  3. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

    In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry

  4. Stellar structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_structure

    The equation of hydrostatic equilibrium may need to be modified by adding a radial acceleration term if the radius of the star is changing very quickly, for example if the star is radially pulsating. [9] Also, if the nuclear burning is not stable, or the star's core is rapidly collapsing, an entropy term must be added to the energy equation. [10]

  5. Symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetry

    The role of symmetry in grouping and figure/ground organization has been confirmed in many studies. For instance, detection of reflectional symmetry is faster when this is a property of a single object. [29] Studies of human perception and psychophysics have shown that detection of symmetry is fast, efficient and robust to perturbations.

  6. Symmetry (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    A drawing of a butterfly with bilateral symmetry, with left and right sides as mirror images of each other.. In geometry, an object has symmetry if there is an operation or transformation (such as translation, scaling, rotation or reflection) that maps the figure/object onto itself (i.e., the object has an invariance under the transform). [1]

  7. Mirror matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_matter

    Modern physics deals with three basic types of spatial symmetry: reflection, rotation, and translation.The known elementary particles respect rotation and translation symmetry but do not respect mirror reflection symmetry (also called P-symmetry or parity).

  8. Rotations and reflections in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotations_and_reflections...

    These equations can be proved through straightforward matrix multiplication and application of trigonometric identities, specifically the sum and difference identities. The set of all reflections in lines through the origin and rotations about the origin, together with the operation of composition of reflections and rotations, forms a group .

  9. Stellar dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_dynamics

    While both the equations of motion and Poisson Equation can also take on non-spherical forms, depending on the coordinate system and the symmetry of the physical system, the essence is the same: The motions of stars in a galaxy or in a globular cluster are principally determined by the average distribution of the other, distant stars.
