Segal–Bargmann Space
In mathematics, the Segal–Bargmann space (for Irving Segal and Valentine Bargmann), also known as the Bargmann space or Bargmann–Fock space, is the space of holomorphic functions ''F'' in ''n'' complex variables satisfying the square-integrability condition: \, F\, ^2 := \pi^ \int_ , F(z), ^2 \exp(-, z, ^2)\,dz < \infty, where here ''dz'' denotes the 2''n''-dimensional Lebesgue measure on \Complex^n. It is a with respect to the associated inner product: \langle F\mid G\rangle = \pi^ \int_ \overlineG(z)\exp(-, z, ^2)\,dz. The space was introduced in the mathematical physics literature separately by Bargmann and Segal in the early 1960s; see and . Basic information about the material in this section may be found in and . Segal worked from the beginning in the infinite-dimensional setting ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Weierstrass Transform
In mathematics, the Weierstrass transform of a function f : \mathbb\to \mathbb, named after Karl Weierstrass, is a "smoothed" version of f(x) obtained by averaging the values of f, weighted with a Gaussian centered at x. Specifically, it is the function F defined by :F(x)=\frac\int_^\infty f(y) \; e^ \; dy = \frac\int_^\infty f(x-y) \; e^ \; dy~, the convolution of f with the Gaussian function :\frac e^~. The factor \frac is chosen so that the Gaussian will have a total integral of 1, with the consequence that constant functions are not changed by the Weierstrass transform. Instead of F(x) one also writes W x). Note that F(x) need not exist for every real number x, when the defining integral fails to converge. The Weierstrass transform is intimately related to the heat equation (or, equivalently, the diffusion equation with constant diffusion coefficient). If the function f describes the initial temperature at each point of an infinitely long rod that has constant thermal co ...

American Mathematical Society
The American Mathematical Society (AMS) is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to the interests of mathematical research and scholarship, and serves the national and international community through its publications, meetings, advocacy and other programs. The society is one of the four parts of the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics and a member of the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences. History The AMS was founded in 1888 as the New York Mathematical Society, the brainchild of Thomas Fiske, who was impressed by the London Mathematical Society on a visit to England. John Howard Van Amringe became the first president while Fiske became secretary. The society soon decided to publish a journal, but ran into some resistance over concerns about competing with the '' American Journal of Mathematics''. The result was the ''Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society'', with Fiske as editor-in-chief. The de facto journal, as intended, was influentia ...

Princeton University Press
Princeton University Press is an independent publisher with close connections to Princeton University. Its mission is to disseminate scholarship within academia and society at large. The press was founded by Whitney Darrow, with the financial support of Charles Scribner, as a printing press to serve the Princeton community in 1905. Its distinctive building was constructed in 1911 on William Street in Princeton. Its first book was a new 1912 edition of John Witherspoon's ''Lectures on Moral Philosophy.'' History Princeton University Press was founded in 1905 by a recent Princeton graduate, Whitney Darrow, with financial support from another Princetonian, Charles Scribner II. Darrow and Scribner purchased the equipment and assumed the operations of two already existing local publishers, that of the ''Princeton Alumni Weekly'' and the Princeton Press. The new press printed both local newspapers, university documents, '' The Daily Princetonian'', and later added book publishing ...

Hardy Space
In complex analysis, the Hardy spaces (or Hardy classes) H^p are spaces of holomorphic functions on the unit disk or upper half plane. They were introduced by Frigyes Riesz , who named them after G. H. Hardy, because of the paper . In real analysis Hardy spaces are spaces of distributions on the real -space \mathbb^n, defined (in the sense of distributions) as boundary values of the holomorphic functions. Hardy spaces are related to the ''Lp'' spaces. For 1 \leq p < \infty these Hardy spaces are s of L^p spaces, while for 0 the L^p spaces have some undesirable properties, and the Hardy spaces are much better behaved. Hence, H^p spaces can be considered extensions of L^p spaces. Hardy spaces have a number of ...

Theta Representation
In mathematics, the theta representation is a particular representation of the Heisenberg group of quantum mechanics. It gains its name from the fact that the Jacobi theta function is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup of the Heisenberg group. The representation was popularized by David Mumford. Construction The theta representation is a representation of the continuous Heisenberg group H_3(\R) over the field of the real numbers. In this representation, the group elements act on a particular Hilbert space. The construction below proceeds first by defining operators that correspond to the Heisenberg group generators. Next, the Hilbert space on which these act is defined, followed by a demonstration of the isomorphism to the usual representations. Group generators Let ''f''(''z'') be a holomorphic function, let ''a'' and ''b'' be real numbers, and let \tau be an arbitrary fixed complex number in the upper half-plane; that is, so that the imaginary part of \tau is po ...

Loop Quantum Gravity
Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a theory of quantum gravity that incorporates matter of the Standard Model into the framework established for the intrinsic quantum gravity case. It is an attempt to develop a quantum theory of gravity based directly on Albert Einstein's geometric formulation rather than the treatment of gravity as a mysterious mechanism (force). As a theory, LQG postulates that the structure of space and time is composed of finite loops woven into an extremely fine fabric or network. These networks of loops are called spin networks. The evolution of a spin network, or spin foam, has a scale on the order of a Planck length, approximately 10−35 meters, and smaller scales are meaningless. Consequently, not just matter, but space itself, prefers an atomic structure. The areas of research, which involve about 30 research groups worldwide, share the basic physical assumptions and the mathematical description of quantum space. Research has evolved in two directions ...

Heat Kernel
In the mathematical study of heat conduction and diffusion, a heat kernel is the fundamental solution to the heat equation on a specified domain with appropriate boundary conditions. It is also one of the main tools in the study of the spectrum of the Laplace operator, and is thus of some auxiliary importance throughout mathematical physics. The heat kernel represents the evolution of temperature in a region whose boundary is held fixed at a particular temperature (typically zero), such that an initial unit of heat energy is placed at a point at time . Definition ] The most well-known heat kernel is the heat kernel of -dimensional Euclidean space , which has the form of a time-varying Gaussian function, K(t,x,y) = \frac \exp\left(-\frac\right), which is defined for all x,y\in\mathbb^d and t > 0. This solves the heat equation \left\{ \begin{aligned} & \frac{\partial K}{\partial t}(t,x,y) = \Delta_x K(t,x,y)\\ & \lim_{t \to 0} K(t,x,y) = \delta(x-y) = \delta_x(y) \end{aligned} ...

Lie Group
In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced ) is a group (mathematics), group that is also a differentiable manifold, such that group multiplication and taking inverses are both differentiable. A manifold is a space that locally resembles Euclidean space, whereas groups define the abstract concept of a binary operation along with the additional properties it must have to be thought of as a "transformation" in the abstract sense, for instance multiplication and the taking of inverses (to allow division), or equivalently, the concept of addition and subtraction. Combining these two ideas, one obtains a continuous group where multiplying points and their inverses is continuous. If the multiplication and taking of inverses are smoothness, smooth (differentiable) as well, one obtains a Lie group. Lie groups provide a natural model for the concept of continuous symmetry, a celebrated example of which is the circle group. Rotating a circle is an example of a continuous symmetry. For an ...

Stone–von Neumann Theorem
In mathematics and in theoretical physics, the Stone–von Neumann theorem refers to any one of a number of different formulations of the uniqueness of the canonical commutation relations between position and momentum operators. It is named after Marshall Stone and John von Neumann. Representation issues of the commutation relations In quantum mechanics, physical observables are represented mathematically by linear operators on Hilbert spaces. For a single particle moving on the real line \mathbb, there are two important observables: position and momentum. In the Schrödinger representation quantum description of such a particle, the position operator and momentum operator p are respectively given by \begin[] [x \psi](x_0) &= x_0 \psi(x_0) \\[] [p \psi](x_0) &= - i \hbar \frac(x_0) \end on the domain V of infinitely differentiable functions of compact support on \mathbb. Assume \hbar to be a fixed ''non-zero'' real number—in quantum theory \hbar is the reduced Planck ...
