Here , so the Jacobi iteration matrix isThe all-ones vector is an eigenvector with eigenvalue . On its two-dimensional orthogonal complement, the coordinates sum to zero and , so the other eigenvalue is with multiplicity two. ThereforeBy Jacobi convergence for a three-by-three equicorrelation matrix, convergence occurs exactly forAt either endpoint the spectral radius is one, so convergence for arbitrary initial data fails.
Away from the rim's edge region, the geometry and uniform injection have no radial scale other than the factor required by continuity. It is therefore consistent to take . Regularity at then lets the continuity equation integrate toThe no-slip boundary condition and prescribed normal velocities areSince is independent of , the radial equation implies that is constant. The four boundary conditions giveand henceUsing in givesTaking the pressure at the rim to be atmospheric, , produces the porous-plate lubrication cushion pressureThe upward pressure force balances the disc's weight:Since ,
Expanding the two covariant derivatives of a vector, the second partial derivatives cancel in the commutator. The remaining derivatives and products of Christoffel symbols combine into the coordinate definition of the Riemann curvature tensor, giving the Ricci identityFor a type- tensor, the connection acts on both upper indices, so the curvature commutator on a contravariant tensor is
Keep and choose the scalar potential . ThenFor , completing the square givesHence the spectrum on is
For a translationally invariant dispersion, the group velocity is . Thereforein agreement with the electric-cross-magnetic-field drift .
In the rectangle, as before. The energy now changes with , so the guiding-centre degeneracy is lifted, while the number of states in each tilted band remains approximately . Adjacent states within a formerly degenerate level have the electric-field splitting of a Landau level in a rectangleThus this is the ground-to-first-excited gap when the lowest Landau band contains at least two allowed guiding centres and . Without that implicit weak-field or large-sample condition, the exact full spectral gap is
An odd composite number with is a Fermat pseudoprime to base whenFor , the Chinese remainder theorem for unit groups reduces this condition to congruences modulo and . Modulo , Fermat's little theorem givesso exactly when . Modulo , the unit group has order , soThe equation in the cyclic group has solutions, namely .
