  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. Affine transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_transformation

    Let X be an affine space over a field k, and V be its associated vector space. An affine transformation is a bijection f from X onto itself that is an affine map; this means that a linear map g from V to V is well defined by the equation () = (); here, as usual, the subtraction of two points denotes the free vector from the second point to the first one, and "well-defined" means that ...

  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. 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. Dynamic substructuring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_substructuring

    Dynamic Substructuring (DS) is an engineering tool used to model and analyse the dynamics of mechanical systems by means of its components or substructures. Using the dynamic substructuring approach one is able to analyse the dynamic behaviour of substructures separately and to later on calculate the assembled dynamics using coupling procedures.

  8. Hypersurface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypersurface

    In geometry, a hypersurface is a generalization of the concepts of hyperplane, plane curve, and surface.A hypersurface is a manifold or an algebraic variety of dimension n − 1, which is embedded in an ambient space of dimension n, generally a Euclidean space, an affine space or a projective space.

  9. Angular momentum coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum_coupling

    In quantum mechanics, angular momentum coupling is the procedure of constructing eigenstates of total angular momentum out of eigenstates of separate angular momenta. For instance, the orbit and spin of a single particle can interact through spin–orbit interaction, in which case the complete physical picture must include spin–orbit coupling.
