How do we realize the path integral as a (symmetric,monoidal) functor [math]Z:\operatorname{nCob} \to \operatorname{Vect} [/math] ?
6 posts and 1 images submitted.
>>
>>8566711
Here is what I got so far.

Suppose we have a field [math]\phi :\Sigma \to M[/math] from some n-dim manifold to our target space. Governed by a simple action [math]S\left[ \phi \right] = \int\limits_\Sigma {{{\left| {\operatorname{d} \phi } \right|}^2}} [/math].


We get a functional measure [math]\left[ {D\phi } \right][/math] on the space of maps [math]\left\{ {\phi :\Sigma \to M} \right\}[/math] via some generalization of the Wiener measure.


If sigma is bounded we define measures [math]\mu \left[ \phi \right][/math] on the space of maps [math]\left\{ {\phi :\partial \Sigma \to M} \right\}[/math].
There give a "conditional path integral measure" obeying the rule [math]\int {\left[ {D\phi |\mu } \right] \cdot } F\left( {{{\left. \phi \right|}_{\partial \Sigma }}} \right) = \int {\operatorname{d} \mu \left[ \phi \right]} \cdot F\left( \phi \right)[/math].


Using this we define numbers [math]{U_\Sigma }\left[ \mu \right] \equiv \int {\left[ {D\phi |\mu } \right] \cdot } \exp \left( { - S\left[ \phi \right]} \right)[/math]. These can be manipulated to obey a variant of gluing axioms.

View sigma as cobordism [math]\Sigma :\partial \Sigma \to \emptyset [/math].

So functorialy we have a map [math]Z\left( \Sigma \right):Z\left( {\partial \Sigma } \right) \to Z\left( \emptyset \right)[/math] where [math]Z\left( \emptyset \right) = \mathbb{C}[/math] by definition.

Let [math]{\left\{ {{\mu _i}} \right\}_{i \in I}}[/math] be a basis for the space measures [math]\mu \left[ \phi \right][/math].

Then we get our equivalence by letting [math]Z\left( {\partial \Sigma } \right) \cong \operatorname{span} {\left\{ {{\mu _i}} \right\}_{i \in I}}[/math] and [math]Z\left( \Sigma \right)\left( \mu \right) = {U_\Sigma }\left[ \mu \right][/math].

Can somebody explain the Halting Problem, mainly how you prove it?
19 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Suppose there exists a program halt(program x, input y) that returns a boolean indicating if x halts on y.

Define the following program:
bool fuckery(program x):
| if (halt(x, x)):
| | while(true);
| return true;

What does fuckery(fuckery) do?
>>
>>8566642
Being recursive here implies fuckery needs input: fuckery(fuckery(fuckery(...) so this can't be said because there is never a complete program x to be analysed. The fact that programs either halt or don't halt implies there is halt(code, input), that is what I think. The fact to compute it is besides the point, even with an easy general algorithm computation would still be required to apply such algorithm. Those are my thoughts, I hope there is a tautologically better proof or even that I am wrong and the world is not this stupid.

It's not recursive.

Hello guys
I'm don't have much knowledge in maths or physics but I'd like to get better in accoustics and aerodynamics
Could you please explain me what would happen in pic related?

Would audio source 1 (AS1) get disrupted by audio source 2? If it does, what does "disrupted", physically and visually
speaking mean? Would all of (or what %) AS1 be detectable by microphone B or any other? Or would AS1 get so splittered that it would eventually
get all absorbed in the tube which is a fairly accoustically absorbing material (lets say silicone)?
Could any soundwave get throgh AS2 without getting disrupted?

Thank you very much in advance

Bump really interested in this
any source on this kind of stuff?
>>
>>8566531
please do not bumb on /sci/. fairly slow board and no one will take your post seriously.

As for your question, if you want to learn the physics of what is happening in your pic read up on mechanical pressure waves. Usually a second quarter course in intro college physics.

If you want to know how your audio filters work, you will need to read about signal processing theory. That is pretty complicated stuff, normally a 2nd or 3rd year course in electrical engineering. The pre requisite math behind it is Complex Analysis, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Functional Analysis.

You will never get a good grasp of how these things work intuitively without such reading, but if you are interested in it in some lighter sense, try reading the "plain english wikipedia" articles on those topics.
>>
Yeah, wikipedia is your best bet. There is such a thing as active noise cancellation that is very common. The way this works is to generate an audio signal which is completely out of phase with the noise you wish to cancel. Amplitudes add. Videos would also be helpful. A picture is worth a thousand words and nobody is going to sit down and type thousands of words to explain something to you that you can easily google and learn about yourself.

Is a 3.8 GPA at an ~okay~ (top 20% range) school for mathematics?

I'm a Computer Engineering and Math double major but want to apply to a good grad school, hoping to go into academia one day.

>>8566275
No, you basically need to go to HPMSCB for pure math to have a chance at a tenure track job at a decent place and a 3.8 will not cut it unless you have something else that signals ability like publications or being a Putnam fellow.
>>
False. Some of my most successful instructors and professors had sub-3.5's during undergrad. I go to a prestigious research university.

3.8 is good, OP; you could obviously do better, but a 3.8 isn't going to limit you.

It was easier to get in to top grad schools and get tenure track jobs when your professors were undergrads.

I had this thing just lying in my room for a year, thought I'd finally test it out with a dilution series with a measuring cup because that's all I have on hand.

I was worried that something would have broken while I was driving it home an hour from the university (very bumpy).

It's either I did break it or I just don't know how to follow the directions. The analog meter doesn't seem to change regardless of what I put in the cuvette, or maybe the cuvette thing I have isn't even compatible since I can't even close the cap (but I thought the meter wobble a bit or something when it's open and closed).

What do I even do with this?

>or maybe the cuvette thing I have isn't even compatible since I can't even close the cap (but I thought the meter wobble a bit or something when it's open and closed).
oh i missed this bit. No spec is going to work properly if the lid doesn't close. You'll get readings but they won't be as accurate as they could be.

But you should be seeing the needle move around as you go from closed to open, and the fact that yo don't is why I was curious about >>8566255
>>
>>8566255
>bulb
I guess it's because of that then. I'm really rusty on my analytical instruments but I should at least see some light somewhere inside the slot itself, right? It's totally dark.

Apparently some (unlucky) students still had to use this ancient spectrometers relatively recently, but I guess this was not one of the working specimens unless it's my fault with the bumpy ride. I didn't have any cushioning handy for that ride so I might have broken more than that.

Sooo, Hilbert's grand hotel paradox?

Am I missing something here?
The hotel has infinite rooms and it is infinitely full.
Meaning we shouldn't be able to move guests to the room number one above theirs.

Now you'll say, but there are infinite rooms so you can always add one more, but by our very definition that room should be full as well.

Wut?

it is
that's why you have to move that guy to the room over too
>>
>>8565985
then somebody will always be out of a room and that's precisely how we can add the new guest, by removing another

Thoughts on time travel? I like to think it will eventually be possible, though maybe not with today's technology. Has anyone definitively debunked the possibility? Or are theories against it just as unproven as theories supporting it?

Anyone with some advanced physics knowledge around to share their thoughts?

Apparently at least one researcher thinks it's possible.
>>
Of course its possible, we're traveling into the future right now. Time travel into the past is possible, but you'd need more energy than the entire universe to reverse the chemical reactions.
>>
The age old time travel question...
Even the best, and smartest don't fully understand it
Look at just some of the things you would need to move a copper penny on foot across a table top
1 a place for it to happen (the universe)
2 the matter in question (the penny)
3 a direction (can only move in one direction, away from it's starting position)
4 a speed
5 energy to set it in motion
6 this is a big one! The time to move a given distance!
How many things have I forgot to mention?
The past is still here, just in another form, the tree that was in your back yard 10,000 years ago has just broke down and moved to a new location.
The space it occupied has not changed. The energy it gave in transition was spent, how do you put that Jennie back in the bottle? Let's just say you found a way to cheat time and go back just one minute, you would find yourself where you were completely unaware. The distant past happened without you there, so if you did step out of some magical doorway, it would not be the same past. Or you would be there in the form that you were when that moment happened, particles in some rock.
Time is some kind of law to prevent this from happening, it prevents matter from being in two places at the same time, there is a reason for the light speed limit, go faster and you cheat time , it is impossible! Now the future, who knows....
