The principle of equivalence at finite temperature

Inheritance principle and Non-renormalization theorems at finite temperature

We show that in the large N limit, a weakly coupled SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter on a class of compact manifolds (like S) satisfies an “inheritance principle” in the low temperature phase. Finite temperature correlation functions of gauge invariant single-trace operators are related to those at zero temperature by summing over images of each operator in the Euclidean time direction. T...

Is the Principle of Equivalence a Principle?

The work argues the principle of equivalence to be a theorem and not a principle (in a sense of an axiom). It contains a detailed analysis of the concepts of normal and inertial frame of reference. The equivalence principle is proved to be valid (at every point and along every path) in any gravitational theory based on linear connections. Possible generalizations of the equivalence principle ar...

The Equivalence Principle, the Covariance Principle

The equivalence principle, which states the local equivalence between acceleration and gravity, requires that a free falling observer must result in a co-moving local Minkowski space. On the other hand, covariance principle assumes any Gaussian system to be valid as a space-time coordinate system. Given the mathematical existence of the co-moving local Minkowski space along a time-like geodesic...

buckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method

در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....
