  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. They also develop wheezing due to the exudation of fluid into the lungs. [1]

  3. Rare Earth: Why Complex Life Is Uncommon in the Universe

    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 ...

  4. Chern–Simons theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern–Simons_theory

    Specifically, an SU(2) Chern–Simons theory describes the simplest non-abelian anyonic model of a TQC, the Yang–Lee–Fibonacci model. [2] [3] The dynamics of Chern–Simons theory on the 2-dimensional boundary of a 3-manifold is closely related to fusion rules and conformal blocks in conformal field theory, and in particular WZW theory. [1] [4]

  5. List of unsolved problems in physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    The following is a list of notable unsolved problems grouped into broad areas of physics. [1]Some of the major unsolved problems in physics are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining a certain observed phenomenon or experimental result.

  6. List of unsolved problems in mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems...

    Many mathematical problems have been stated but not yet solved. These problems come from many areas of mathematics, such as theoretical physics, computer science, algebra, analysis, combinatorics, algebraic, differential, discrete and Euclidean geometries, graph theory, group theory, model theory, number theory, set theory, Ramsey theory, dynamical systems, and partial differential equations.

  7. N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_=_4_supersymmetric_Yang...

    In D=4 spacetime dimensions, N=4 is the maximal number of supersymmetries or supersymmetry charges. [1] SYM theory is a toy theory based on Yang–Mills theory; it does not model the real world, but it is useful because it can act as a proving ground for approaches for attacking problems in more complex theories. [2]

  8. 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 Planck constant to zero we have only Feynman tree diagrams, which is a "classical" theory (equivalent to the Fredholm theory of a classical field theory).

  9. Chern class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chern_class

    If M is an almost complex manifold, then its tangent bundle is a complex vector bundle. The Chern classes of M are thus defined to be the Chern classes of its tangent bundle. If M is also compact and of dimension 2 d , then each monomial of total degree 2 d in the Chern classes can be paired with the fundamental class of M , giving an integer ...
