Ridout theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Let be an algebraic irrational number, let be a finite set of primes, and let . There are only finitely many reduced fractions whose denominator is S-smooth number and which satisfyThis is the denominator-restricted consequence of the finite-place Schmidt subspace theorem.

Bound-state pole of the scattering amplitude Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-07
After analytic continuation in momentum, a pole at with gives negative energy and spatial decay, and therefore represents a bound state.
Crystal scattering Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
In the Born approximation, scattering from identical atomic potentials translated to lattice sites factors into one atomic form factor times a finite sum of phases over the crystal sites.
Diffraction Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Diffraction is interference produced when waves scatter from spatial structure. A periodic structure concentrates the scattered intensity at reciprocal-lattice conditions.
Elastic scattering Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Elastic scattering preserves the total kinetic energy. For one particle scattered by a fixed target, the incoming and outgoing wavevectors therefore have equal magnitudes.
Momentum transfer Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
The momentum transfer in a scattering process is the difference between the incoming and outgoing wavevectors, commonly up to a sign convention and a factor of .
Hyperscaling relation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
When the singular free energy in one correlation volume is of order one, . Hyperscaling can fail above the upper critical dimension because of a dangerously irrelevant coupling.

Scalar anisotropic stress Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Scalar anisotropic stress is the trace-free scalar part of the spatial stress perturbation. Under a common convention it enters as .
Scalar velocity potential Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The longitudinal velocity perturbation of a cosmological fluid can be represented by a scalar velocity potential through .
Synchronous gauge in cosmology Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Synchronous gauge sets the lapse and shift perturbations to zero, . Its coordinates follow freely falling observers, but residual coordinate freedom produces gauge modes that must be distinguished from physical perturbations.

Chemical-potential balance for ionization Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Because equilibrium reactions balance chemical potentials and photons have zero chemical potential,The rest-mass difference in the Maxwell--Boltzmann densities then supplies the Boltzmann factor .
