what did he mean by this?

it means the operator is not gay, transsexual, genderfluid, pansexual, bisexual, doesn't do drugs, doesn't drink alcohol etc.
Or that there are no eigenvalues of order more than 1.
>>8176148
He means it doesn't support homosexuality or feminism.

>no eigenvalues of order more than 1
so 1.001 would be "degenerate" ?
you math nerds are harsh, bruhs.
>>8176165
I'm not a math nerd, I'm an engineer.
>>8176148
No degeneracy means only one level per energy, in case you were actually asking what it meant
>>8176165
>rational order
>>8176148
It means that the right-kernel contains only the Zero vector
He's a /pol/tard, so you can safely dismiss his opinion.

It doesn't just apply to energy levels
When will physicists learn
it means the matrix isn't invertable and about 420 different other things
>>8177052
if you think about it, /pol/ and physicists have at least one thing in common: they hate degeneracy
>>8176155
What does this have to do with anything!
>>8176157
>Doing drugs or drinking
>Degeneracy

The order of an eigenvalue can only be an integer. A degenerate Hamiltonian means that a single eigenvalue can have 2 or more non-colinear eigenvectors.

Sorry I meant Hermitian operator.
