Talk:Matrix theory (physics)

message: This article was previously a redirect to matrix string theory. These topics are NOT the same and should remain as separate articles. Polytope24 (talk) 04:34, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

message: This article is disappointingly out-of-date. It essentially contains no information past the original postulation of the models, and all cited references are from between 1994-1999. Can we get some updated information?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B003:646:3837:3B0E:88DC:342 (talk) 21:39, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Can we get an update from someone knowledgeable? 

message: I feel that this page can be significantly improved. Wikipedia already has a page about Euclidean matrix integrals, i.e. random matrix theory. That page could probably be improved too to connect more with the physics literature, but let me not discuss that. The Hamiltonian counterpart is what we call these days matrix quantum mechanics, either gauged or ungauged. There's a whole physics literature on this subject, and there's a soup of related models (often related to string theory), e.g. BFSS, BMN, BFSS etc. I feel that this article should describe the general point of view (matrix quantum mechanics of bosonic and/or fermionic degrees of freedom) first, and then discuss some specific models.
Finally there could be a discussion of techniques that are used: analytic methods in the large-N limit, Monte Carlo, even deep learning. 
Any feedback? Am I missing some existing Wikipedia pages? MatthHo (talk) 15:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

message: The third paragraph describes the London Commuter belt as "a ring of towns that are physically separate from the urban area but still functionally operate largely as suburbs, with large proportions of their populations dependent on the urban area for employment."
On that basis, surely no settlement can be part of both the Urban area and the Commuter belt? I've frequently seen Watford described as being in both (although I believe it to be the latter), but could someone clarify the situation generally? BeL1EveR 16:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

"A recent experiment by Special Dave, using the 2-1 1-2 method, has resulted in a negative ROI. The gambling term dutching may follow this same route as it describes a system that shares stakes across a number of bets.

Talk:Thermal diode

message: I tried to violate entropy in physics class before, didn't work darnit.98.165.6.225 (talk) 21:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are three forms of heat flow: conduction, convection, and radiation. Entropy increases when taking conductive heat and converting it into radiation. It may do so directly. If indirectly, conduction is followed by convection before heat is radiated. To reduce entropy, one must produce conductive heat from radiation at a faster rate than one produces radiation from conductive heat. A thermal diode converting IR photons into conductive heat or electricity without regard to temperature differences coming from either side could do just that.Kmarinas86 (6sin8karma) 16:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Potential well

message: The variables used in this article are not defined, it is practically impossible for anyone with limited experience in quantum mechanics to follow the mathematical conclusions drawn. I am well aware that the referenced pages clarify the variables, but I don't see the point in including equations in 
this article if the variables are unclear. Either give a brief explanation of the variables, or leave it to the referenced articles to explain the math. Apyrase (talk) 23:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explaining the math 

message: May I suggest a picture that graphically demonstrates the difference between a potential well and a final equilibrium. For example an f(x) = x^2 (-∞ ≤ x ≤ 0) and f(x) = 0 (0 ≤ x ≤ ∞), but with a brief upward dip in the x^2 portion. The upward dip would symbolise a potential well, since it is a solution but is not stable (if you had water there, for example a reservoir). Of course it doesn't have to be exactly modelled as I explained above; I merely wrote that to demonstrate what I am trying to say (I am a poor communicator it seems lol). Lachy123 (talk) 10:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  A better graphic perhaps 

message: This article is poorly written (lol grammar), poorly referenced, and poorly outlined.  for all of the unintuitive and unexpected results claimed here, the reference section is exceedingly short (and the references all appear to be computational physics articles, and articles posted in small lesser known journals to boot).  This field is incredibly rich.  pretty much every claim made in this article can/should be referenced with multiple 5+ author papers in Journal of Applied Physics, Journal of Materials, Macromolecules, JACS, etc.  instead we have 3 or 4 papers with no more than 2 authors.  the author of the article claims that pressure induces lattice distortions that affect the band gap energies.  This is nonsense, and any casual look into basic undergraduate textbooks on materials science and inorganic chemistry routinely discuss that it is the GRAIN BOUNDARY (which is a type of defect found in bulk materials, but which equally applies to quantum architectures) defect, lack of long range order, disruption of crystal symmetry, and introduction of non regular (anisotropic) electrostatic potential that results in anisotropic band gaps that also differ from bulk single crystal material.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.76.31 (talk) 06:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Type I string theory

message: I'm not sure how to do this, otherwise I would try myself. But these articles on Type I, Type IIA, Type IIB etc. Superstring Theory should really be called "Superstring" Theory, and should redirect from "Superstring" Theory in the search. It's a little sloppy calling them XXX "String" Theory, since they are "Superstring" theories, and there is a great difference between the two classes (When people say "String Theory" they mean it as a general term for all classes of theories of dynamical objects greater that 0-branes, but this article is about a specific model). Saying "Type IIB Superstring Theory" for example doesn't really make sense, since the theory is built using supersymmetry and superstrings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.23.131.209 (talk) 21:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Then what are those things that attach to the D-branes in Type II theories??? 24.56.247.67 (talk) 22:10, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It is indeed true that type II string theories have open strings in a non-perturbative sense, but for type I they also appear perturbatively in flat 10d Lorentzian spacetime. This is because D-branes are non-perturbative objects so if we consider them in type II theory we are already in a nonperturbative regime. But for type I we can have open strings propagate on space-filling D9 branes in a perfectly perturbative way. OpenScience709 (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Stress concentration

message: Hopefully I've ended the edit war (however low in casualties) regarding stress raiser vs. stress riser.  Both are commonly used terms, but the article should use the term "stress concentration" since that's the title.  The other mention is regarding what they call it in orthopedics, and assuming it's right, then it should remain "raiser". - EndingPop 17:58, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Raiser vs. Riser 

message: Under the 'Prevention' section, there's multiple references to '2a' without any explanation of what 'a' is.  Going to the 'Fracture' page says that 'a' is "half the length of the crack", so '2a' is "the length of the crack" (assuming 'a' means the same thing on both pages).  Of course, that's nonsense in this context - once the crack is whatever it's length is, it will keep growing. So much for a "critical value".

Most materials contain microscopic cracks that grow only when the applied stress reaches a certain critical value.  Designs that consider this aspect of material behavior are called damage tolerant.

Am I nuts, or are those incompatible statements?  How could have been initially released in two places?  If the "Berkley TCP/IP suite" was released in tandem with or as part of 4.2BSD, that should be more clearly stated in the article.  If it wasn't, then perhaps that second sentence quoted above should read "The first time ifconfig command was made a standard part of an operating system was in 4.2BSD."
