  2. Potential game - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_game

    Let be the number of players, the set of action profiles over the action sets of each player and : be the payoff function for player .. Given a game = (, = …,:), we say that is a potential game with an exact (weighted, ordinal, generalized ordinal, best response) potential function if : is an exact (weighted, ordinal, generalized ordinal, best response, respectively) potential function for .

  3. Gauge fixing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_fixing

    A particular choice of the scalar and vector potentials is a gauge (more precisely, gauge potential) and a scalar function ψ used to change the gauge is called a gauge function. [citation needed] The existence of arbitrary numbers of gauge functions ψ(r, t) corresponds to the U(1) gauge freedom of this theory. Gauge fixing can be done in many ...

  4. Gauge theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_theory

    Quantum electrodynamics is an abelian gauge theory with the symmetry group U(1) and has one gauge field, the electromagnetic four-potential, with the photon being the gauge boson. The Standard Model is a non-abelian gauge theory with the symmetry group U(1) × SU(2) × SU(3) and has a total of twelve gauge bosons: the photon , three weak bosons ...

  5. Lorenz gauge condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_gauge_condition

    In electromagnetism, the Lorenz condition is generally used in calculations of time-dependent electromagnetic fields through retarded potentials. [2] The condition is , =, where is the four-potential, the comma denotes a partial differentiation and the repeated index indicates that the Einstein summation convention is being used.

  6. Liénard–Wiechert potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liénard–Wiechert_potential

    The Liénard–Wiechert potentials describe the classical electromagnetic effect of a moving electric point charge in terms of a vector potential and a scalar potential in the Lorenz gauge. Stemming directly from Maxwell's equations , these describe the complete, relativistically correct, time-varying electromagnetic field for a point charge in ...

  7. Introduction to gauge theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_gauge_theory

    A gauge theory is a type of theory in physics.The word gauge means a measurement, a thickness, an in-between distance (as in railroad tracks), or a resulting number of units per certain parameter (a number of loops in an inch of fabric or a number of lead balls in a pound of ammunition). [1]

  8. Velocity potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_potential

    If ϕ is a velocity potential, then ϕ + f(t) is also a velocity potential for u, where f(t) is a scalar function of time and can be constant. Velocity potentials are unique up to a constant, or a function solely of the temporal variable. The Laplacian of a velocity potential is equal to the divergence of the corresponding flow.

  9. Loop representation in gauge theories and quantum gravity

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_representation_in...

    The ability to vary the gauge potential at different points in space and time (by changing (,)) without changing the physics is called a local invariance. Electromagnetic theory possess the simplest kind of local gauge symmetry called () (see unitary group). A theory that displays local gauge invariance is called a gauge theory.
