  2. 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 ...

  3. Affine connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_connection

    The pair (P, η) defines the structure of an affine geometry on M, making it into an affine manifold. The affine Lie algebra aff(n) splits as a semidirect product of R n and gl(n) and so η may be written as a pair (θ, ω) where θ takes values in R n and ω takes values in gl(n).

  4. 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 ...

    Origins from Alice's and Bob's perspectives. Vector computation from Alice's perspective is in red, whereas that from Bob's is in blue. The following characterization may be easier to understand than the usual formal definition: an affine space is what is left of a vector space after one has forgotten which point is the origin (or, in the words of the French mathematician Marcel Berger, "An ...

  6. 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 .

  7. Gaudin model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudin_model

    In physics, the Gaudin model, sometimes known as the quantum Gaudin model, is a model, or a large class of models, in statistical mechanics first described in its simplest case by Michel Gaudin. [1] They are exactly solvable models, and are also examples of quantum spin chains .

  8. Homography (computer vision) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homography_(computer_vision)

    When the image region in which the homography is computed is small or the image has been acquired with a large focal length, an affine homography is a more appropriate model of image displacements. An affine homography is a special type of a general homography whose last row is fixed to = =, =

  9. Cartan connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartan_connection

    In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a Cartan connection is a flexible generalization of the notion of an affine connection.It may also be regarded as a specialization of the general concept of a principal connection, in which the geometry of the principal bundle is tied to the geometry of the base manifold using a solder form.
