Covariant in a sentence

Covariant vectors There are also vector quantities with covariant indices.

Library stabilizations include a type, which is nonnull and covariant.

A notable exception to modern algebraic geometry texts following the conventions of this article is Commutative algebra with a view toward algebraic geometry / David Eisenbud (1995), which uses "h A " to mean the covariant hom-functor.

Chapter six gives a "from scratch" introduction to covariant tensors.

For the individual matrix entries, this transformation law has the form so the tensor corresponding to the matrix of a linear operator has one covariant and one contravariant index: it is of type (1,1).

Given an arbitrary contravariant functor G from C to Set, Yoneda's lemma asserts that : Naming conventions The use of "h A " for the covariant hom-functor and "h A " for the contravariant hom-functor is not completely standard.

Haag's theorem From a mathematically rigorous perspective, there exists no interaction picture in a Lorentz-covariant quantum field theory.

He gave up looking for fully generally covariant tensor equations, and searched for equations that would be invariant under general linear transformations only.

He maintained that the non-covariant energy momentum pseudotensor was in fact the best description of the energy momentum distribution in a gravitational field.

He uses this generalized probabilistic interpretation to formulate a relativistic-covariant version of de Broglie–Bohm theory without introducing a preferred foliation of space-time.

If the transformation matrix of an index is the basis transformation itself, then the index is called covariant and is denoted with a lower index (subscript).

In the (0, M) -entry of the table, M denotes the dimensionality of the underlying vector space or manifold because for each dimension of the space, a separate index is needed to select that dimension to get a maximally covariant antisymmetric tensor.

It turns out that such inconsistencies arise from relativistic wavefunctions not having a well-defined probabilistic interpretation in position space, as probability conservation is not a relativistically covariant concept.

Later, Raphael Bousso came up with a covariant version of the bound based upon null sheets.

Ordinary functors are also called covariant functors in order to distinguish them from contravariant ones.

See Covariant formulation of classical electromagnetism for more details.

That is, in pure matrix notation, : This means exactly that covariant vectors (thought of as column matrices) transform according to the dual representation of the standard representation of the Lorentz group.

The components of a more general tensor transform by some combination of covariant and contravariant transformations, with one transformation law for each index.

The coordinate independence of a tensor then takes the form of a covariant and/or contravariant transformation law that relates the array computed in one coordinate system to that computed in another one.

The operation is achieved by summing components for which one specified contravariant index is the same as one specified covariant index to produce a new component.
