  2. Shone's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shone's_syndrome

    Shone’s syndrome is a rare disorder that is often detected in very young children. The children tend to show symptoms like fatigue , nocturnal cough , and reduced cardiac output by the age of two years.

  3. Conformal anomaly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conformal_anomaly

    A conformal anomaly, scale anomaly, trace anomaly or Weyl anomaly is an anomaly, i.e. a quantum phenomenon that breaks the conformal symmetry of the classical theory.. In quantum field theory when we set to zero we have only Feynman tree diagrams, which is a "classical" theory (equivalent to the Fredholm formulation of a classical field theory).

  4. List of cohomology theories - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cohomology_theories

    MO is a rather weak cobordism theory, as the spectrum MO is isomorphic to H(π * (MO)) ("homology with coefficients in π * (MO)") – MO is a product of Eilenberg–MacLane spectra. In other words, the corresponding homology and cohomology theories are no more powerful than homology and cohomology with coefficients in Z /2 Z .

  5. Wess–Zumino–Witten model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wess–Zumino–Witten_model

    In theoretical physics and mathematics, a Wess–Zumino–Witten (WZW) model, also called a Wess–Zumino–Novikov–Witten model, is a type of two-dimensional conformal field theory named after Julius Wess, Bruno Zumino, Sergei Novikov and Edward Witten.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Earth:_Why_Complex...

    Rare Earth was succeeded in 2003 by the follow-on book The Life and Death of Planet Earth: How the New Science of Astrobiology Charts the Ultimate Fate of our World, also by Ward and Brownlee, which talks about the Earth's long-term future and eventual demise under a warming and expanding Sun, showing readers the concept that planets like Earth ...

  7. Čech cohomology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Čech_cohomology

    A Penrose triangle depicts a nontrivial element of the first cohomology of an annulus with values in the group of distances from the observer. [1]In mathematics, specifically algebraic topology, Čech cohomology is a cohomology theory based on the intersection properties of open covers of a topological space.

  8. Anomalous diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anomalous_diffusion

    It has been found that equations describing normal diffusion are not capable of characterizing some complex diffusion processes, for instance, diffusion process in inhomogeneous or heterogeneous medium, e.g. porous media. Fractional diffusion equations were introduced in order to characterize anomalous diffusion phenomena.

  9. Objective-collapse theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-collapse_theory

    A special case of this problem is known as the “counting anomaly”. [ 32 ] [ 33 ] Supporters of collapse theories mostly dismiss this criticism as a misunderstanding of the theory, [ 34 ] [ 35 ] as in the context of dynamical collapse theories, the absolute square of the wave function is interpreted as an actual matter density.
