Tensor product — In mathematics, the tensor product, denoted by otimes, may be applied in different contexts to vectors, matrices, tensors, vector spaces, algebras, topological vector spaces, and modules. In each case the significance of the symbol is the same:… … Wikipedia
Monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave — In general relativity, the monochromatic electromagnetic plane wave spacetime is the analog of the monochromatic plane waves known from Maxwell s theory. The precise definition of the solution is a bit complicated, but very instructive. Any exact … Wikipedia
Pp-wave spacetime — In general relativity, the pp wave spacetimes, or pp waves for short, are an important family of exact solutions of Einstein s field equation. These solutions model radiation moving at the speed of light. This radiation may consist of:*… … Wikipedia
Gravitational wave — In physics, a gravitational wave is a fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime which propagates as a wave, traveling outward from a moving object or system of objects. Gravitational radiation is the energy transported by these waves. Important… … Wikipedia
Airy wave theory — In fluid dynamics, Airy wave theory (often referred to as linear wave theory) gives a linearised description of the propagation of gravity waves on the surface of a homogeneous fluid layer. The theory assumes that the fluid layer has a uniform… … Wikipedia
Scalar-vector-tensor decomposition — In cosmological perturbation theory, the scalar vector tensor decomposition is a decomposition of the most general linearized s of the Friedmann Robertson Walker metric into components according to their transformations under spatial rotations.… … Wikipedia
Electromagnetic wave equation — The electromagnetic wave equation is a second order partial differential equation that describes the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a medium or in a vacuum. The homogeneous form of the equation, written in terms of either the… … Wikipedia
Inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave equation — Localized time varying charge and current densities can act as sources of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum. Maxwell s equations can be written in the form of a inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave equation (or often nonhomogeneous electromagnetic… … Wikipedia
Cross-polarized wave generation — Fig. 1. Cross polarized wave (XPW) generation is a nonlinear optical process that can be classified in the group of frequency degenerate [four wave mixing] processes. It can take place only in media with anisotropy of third order nonlinearity. As … Wikipedia
Clive W. Kilmister — (1924 – May 2, 2010) was a British applied mathematician who specialized in the mathematical foundations of physics, especially quantum mechanics and relativity. He was one of the discoverers of the combinatorial hierarchy, along with A. F.… … Wikipedia
Nordström's theory of gravitation — In theoretical physics, Nordström s theory of gravitation was a predecessor of general relativity. Strictly speaking, there were actually two distinct theories proposed by the Finnish theoretical physicist Gunnar Nordström, in 1912 and 1913… … Wikipedia
