  2. 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).

  3. Water model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_model

    A water model is defined by its geometry, together with other parameters such as the atomic charges and Lennard-Jones parameters. In computational chemistry, a water model is used to simulate and thermodynamically calculate water clusters, liquid water, and aqueous solutions with explicit solvent, often using molecular dynamics or Monte Carlo methods.

  4. Double layer forces - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_layer_forces

    The most popular model to describe the electrical double layer is the Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) model. This model can be equally used to evaluate double layer forces. Let us discuss this model in the case of planar geometry as shown in the figure on the right.

  5. Groundwater model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundwater_model

    Boundary conditions can be related to levels of the water table, artesian pressures, and hydraulic head along the boundaries of the model on the one hand (the head conditions), or to groundwater inflows and outflows along the boundaries of the model on the other hand (the flow conditions). This may also include quality aspects of the water like ...

  6. Levi-Civita connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_connection

    The Levi-Civita connection (like any affine connection) also defines a derivative along curves, sometimes denoted by D. Given a smooth curve γ on (M, g) and a vector field V along γ its derivative is defined by = ˙ (). Formally, D is the pullback connection γ*∇ on the pullback bundle γ*TM.

  7. Affine gauge theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affine_gauge_theory

    Affine gauge theory is classical gauge theory where gauge fields are affine connections on the tangent bundle over a smooth manifold.For instance, these are gauge theory of dislocations in continuous media when =, the generalization of metric-affine gravitation theory when is a world manifold and, in particular, gauge theory of the fifth force.

  8. 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 .

  9. 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.
