9 The Goldstone Theorem
The mechanism of SSB does not only provide a general strategy for unifying the description of apparently different systems, but it also provide...

Introduction to Part II
These notes arose from courses given at the International School for Advanced Studies (Trieste) and at the Scuola Normale Superiore (Pisa) in various...

6 Sectors with Energy-Momentum Density
We shall now discuss the requirement III of finite energy-momentum, briefly mentioned in the previous section. Clearly, the possibility of using...

Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in...

Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members.

Spin-Based Quantum Dot Quantum Computing
This chapter is an overview of the research on spin-based quantum dot quantum computation, which covers two most prominent architectures, one based...
-
The Four–Dimensional Spacetime
Physics theories are made by building mathematical models that correspond to physical systems. General Relativity, the physical theory of...

13 Fermi and Bose Gas at Non-zero Temperature
As an example of symmmetry breaking at non-zero temperature we discuss the free Fermi and Bose gas, starting from finite volume and then discussing...

1 Symmetries of a Classical System
The realization of symmetries in physical systems has proven to be of help in the description of physical phenomena: it makes it possible to relate...
-
14 Quantum Fields at Non-zero Temperature
The general structure discussed above provides a neat and unique prescription for the quantization of relativistic fields at non-zero temperature...
-
8 Examples
The model describes the simplest non-linear field theory and it can be regarded as a prototype of field theories in one space dimension (s=1). The...

Vibrations of X-Braced Multi-Story Frames
The study of vibrations for the x-braced portal frames in the last chapter is extended to high-rise x-braced multi-story frames in this chapter....
-
Momentum and Energy Relations
The equations of motion (5.12) for the charged insulating sphere of radius a moving with arbitrary center velocity u(t) can be rewritten in...

Semiconductor Few-Electron Quantum Dots as Spin Qubits
The spin of an electron placed in a magnetic field provides a natural two-level system suitable as a qubit in a quantum computer[1]. In this work, we...
-
Boundary Conditions
Most Numerical Relativity simulations are devised to approximate the time evolution of the dynamical fields starting from data given on an initial...

Decision Support versus Knowledge Creation Support
After introductory remarks on interactive computerized decision support and the concept of supporting creativity, this chapter briefly describes the...
-
Basic Dimensions of Creative Space
This chapter, after introductory remarks, starts with a review of the diverse meanings of the concepts knowledge and technology, since Creative Space...

Conical Shells of Linearly Varying Thickness Subjected to Normal Loads
The equilibrium equations for a surface element of a conical shell in the framework of generalized plane stress of linear theory of elasticity are...

Derivation of Force and Power Equations
The inconsistency between the power and force equations of motion, (2.4) and (2.1) or (2.5), is so surprising that one is tempted to question the...

Internal Binding Forces
In Appendix B, we have critically confirmed the evaluation of the self electromagnetic force and power, (3.1) and (3.2), leading to the force and...
