# SiftS 2019

SiftS 2019 concluded on Friday. It was an enjoyable two weeks of study and discussion on topics in string theory and holography. Eran Palti and Kyriakos Papadodimas were for me the highlight of the event. This is not meant to take away from others, it is just that Palti and Papadodimas were one of the main reasons for my attending SiftS. I could sit and listen to Papadodimas talk physics for hours. And Palti’s lectures on the Swampland were outstanding, as expected.

If I had one minor personal grief about the summer school as a whole, it’s that there wasn’t enough pure string theory. But it is very likely that I would say this at a number of different engagements, with the exception perhaps of Strings 2019 and String-Math 2019, two of the main string conferences. So it is unfair to make any such complaint formal, and one must also be mindful that while string theory was the theme, the engagement wasn’t necessarily meant to serve pure stringy discussion.

All of this is to say that I am both thrilled and honoured to have had the privilege of attending SiftS 2019. To mark its conclusion, I want to take a moment to congratulate the SiftS organisers for putting together a terrific summer school. I also want to take a moment to thank everyone at the Universidad de Autonomous Madrid for their hospitality and support throughout my stay. My impression of the university before arriving was that it was one of the best in Europe, and I left the campus and the Instituto de Física Teórica UAM/CSIC with the same view. I can say with honesty that I very much look forward to my return at some point in the future.

***

Now that SiftS is over for the year, and with the conclusion of my admittedly brief holiday during the weekend, I have returned to my research and studies at the University of Nottingham. There is a lot to discuss and catch up on with Prof. Padilla, with a number of possibly interesting ideas percolating. My return to Nottingham also means that I will start actively blogging again. In addition to covering some interesting topics from SiftS 2019, I am also working on a number of research projects which will be nice to write about in the coming days, weeks, and months. I will also be continuing my series of string notes, where the reader and I are on our way to covering the whole of textbook bosonic and superstring theory. We will start from where we left off, namely an introduction to conformal field theory. (In the background, I am going to continue working on my blog to fix the LaTeX of older posts as a result the move).

With regards to SiftS 2019 in particular. I will not write about all of the lecture series and topics covered. Instead, I will focus on sharing my notes and thoughts from the lectures by Palti on the Swampland and by Papadodimas on the Black Hole Interior. This will serve as a nice opportunity to also reflect on some of their respective papers, and to summarise key arguments.

# New Home, New LaTeX Problems

It has been two weeks since my last post. At the time, I was preparing to travel to Universidad Autonoma de Madrid for SiftS 2019. In my note I also mentioned that I was enjoying a brief pause from active blogging, mostly to take some time to revise, edit and reorganise the collection of string theory notes that I had already uploaded. I also mentioned that I wanted to take some time to reflect more generally on my first few months as a blogger, particularly about what I might change and improve.

The regular reader will have noticed that a lot has indeed changed. For one, my blog has moved to new home.

One problem that I was having with the old website concerned how it was configured in the backend. It was incredibly inefficient to upload LaTeX, which proved a hindrance considering most posts that I write use LaTeX. This is actually one reason why, before leaving for my summer string theory and holography engagement in Spain, I was not posting regularly; between finishing my paper and my ongoing research, it took too much time to transfer work from my usual LaTeX environment to my blogging environment each time I wanted to post something.

While away in Spain, I have since restructured everything. In addition to the new backend configuration, I am now also using LaTeX to WordPress in conjunction with Python. This software should hopefully enable me to transfer work directly and efficiently from my everyday LaTeX environment to my blogging environment.

Unfortunately, the new set-up also means that all of my old posts using LaTeX are broken and need to be re-written / re-uploaded one-by-one. This includes all of my string notes.

As I work on this issue, I am eager to return to active blogging. There is much to write about and discuss from SiftS 2019, and I am also eager to write about more pure string theory matters that I have been researching of late. I also will close by saying that I want to continue sharing more string notes over the course of the summer, hopefully up to and through the textbook contents of superstring theory. How it all gets organised on the new site, however, remains an open question.

# Learning to Write for Others: String Notes and Future Posts

It is fitting that I write this post on National Writing Day. A few months ago, following some encouraging nudges by others, I decided to commit to active blogging. I already had this website designed and online, but it was mostly left idle. The odd time I would post a note, or share a short essay. But for the most part, my struggle with writing was so much that it took too much energy to find the courage to write on a regular basis. Besides, as much as I genuinely enjoy the idea of writing, in practice I find it uncomfortable.

In reflection, these may seem like odd things to say because over the years I have written a lot of things. Essays, articles, and academic papers. Two years ago I also had a book published. But as a writer I have never been more than barely functional, driven primarily by my enthusiasm and penchant for the written word. Writing, not to mention communication in general, has never come naturally to me. As much as I read and spend my days studying, method in writing is a completely different matter.

To be a good writer, I think one needs to have access to understanding the reader. Empathy, in other words, seems important. In the world of Asperger’s, we talk about “strategies”. And there are a lot of support organisations and groups, including at my university, who help people with Asperger’s like myself learn effective strategies to be a good writer. Part of the strategy for me involves developing a consistent sense of structure – a logically ordered and intelligible set of rules – that assist in navigating the writing process, such that the communication extended to the other person is received as lucid, apprehensible and overall pedagogically cogent. Or, that is the idea and what I am trying to attain. In general, subjective concepts and practices are difficult for me to understand. What defines the objective criteria in which one may assess the art of a piece of writing? What makes a good piece of writing? Or, perhaps more pointedly, what makes for effective writing and communication? As a person with Asperger’s, writing is very much like floundering in the dark.

Since developing this little space on the internet – and with much encouragement – I have been working hard on trying to understand how to write for others. It’s like with my maths/physics – I have become aware since joining university that I am no longer writing my maths/physics for myself, where I can do as I please with my notation. On my whiteboard at home, or on the back of a scrap piece of paper, I may write my equations as I please, as long as I am following the rules. When I write my maths/physics for myself, I don’t need to explain or communicate anyone else. I can change my indices or for convenience suddenly switch notation, without needing to contemplate the legibility for another set of eyes. But to another person, it might not communicate or it might be difficult to follow. And so, to function as a professional physicist, it means I must learn to write my maths/physics for another and thus to ensure consistency and effective communication for the student or external reader. It is the same when it comes to the writing process. Like with the rules of mathematics and, indeed, the basic set of rules that we practice in mathematical physics, it is not so much a problem in the sense of grammar, syntax and spelling. It is more about what makes for good transmission – how people communicate, with use of signposting and other mechanisms.

In the few months since actively maintaining this blog, I’ve learned a lot about writing, and I have started to make small steps in understanding in my own way how to think about communicating through the written word, thanks to feedback from others and from my own support networks. There is still a lot of work to be done. But never before have I felt more confident that I am on track to obtaining a clear sense of consistent structure when communicating through writing – how to think about referencing for the reader, being more concise when explaining an idea, and how to convey a building of logic for another person. I find it exciting, and for once I look forward to writing more and to continued practise on my blog.

Having said that, I would like to highlight that over the coming weeks I may not publish anything new. The reason for this is because I want to take some time to revise, edit and perhaps even reorganise the collection of string theory notes I have already posted. It will also be a time for me to reflect. In some cases, I may even perform a complete rewrite of a particular article in my string theory series (each reviewed article will be timestamped from this day forward). I want to make sure these articles are clear and communicate the inspiring and wondrous ideas of string theory, both technically and pedagogically.

Another reason this blog will be quiet for the next month or so is because I will be away for three weeks in July, visiting the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid for a string theory and holography engagement (SiftS 2019).

But while it may be a few weeks until my next post appears, I very much look forward to regularly contributing to this blog and to continuing to share with whoever may visit this space. In addition to the continuation of my string theory notes, and other writings in fundamental physics, I would also like to think about writing a few new essays – perhaps even a paper or two – on history and other subjects.

# Notes on String Theory: Conformal Group in 2-dimensions

1. Introduction: Conformal Group in 2-dimensions

Following our previous study of the d-dimensional conformal group and the generators of conformal transformations, we now turn our attention to the study of the conformal group in 2-dimensions. Although we have taken some time to considered the d-dimensional conformal algebra, it should already be clear from past discussions that our interest is particularly in 2-dimensions. To begin our study of the 2-dimensional conformal algebra, where ${d = 2}$, note that we’re now employing a 2-dimensional Euclidean metric such that ${g_{\mu \nu} = \delta_{\mu \nu}}$. The first task is to construct the generators. Moreover, it can be found when studying the conserved currents on the WS (substituting for the Euclidean metric, see the last post),

$\displaystyle \partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} = (\partial \cdot \epsilon)\delta_{\mu \nu} \ \ (1)$

When we take the coordinates ${(x^1, x^2)}$ and as we calculate for different values of ${\mu}$ and ${\nu}$, the above equation reduces rather nicely:

For ${\mu = \nu = 1}$, we arrive at ${2\partial_{1}\epsilon_{1} = \partial_{1}\epsilon_{1} + \partial_{2}\epsilon_{2} \implies \partial_{1}\epsilon_{1} = \partial_{2}\epsilon_{2}}$.

For ${\mu = \nu = 2}$, we arrive reversely at ${2\partial_{2}\epsilon_{2} = \partial_{1}\epsilon_{1} + \partial_{2}\epsilon_{2} \implies \partial_{2}\epsilon_{2} = \partial_{1}\epsilon_{1}}$.

Now, for the symmetric case where ${\mu = 1}$ and ${\nu = 2}$ (and, equivalently by symmetry, ${\mu = 2}$ and ${\nu = 1}$), we arrive ${\partial_{1}\epsilon_{2} + \partial_{2}\epsilon_{1} = 0}$. It follows, ${\partial_{1}\epsilon_{2} = -\partial_{2}\epsilon_{1}}$.

Notice, from these results, we have two distinguishable equations:

$\displaystyle \partial_{1}\epsilon_{1} = \partial_{2}\epsilon_{2} \ \ (2)$

$\displaystyle \partial_{1}\epsilon_{2} = -\partial_{2}\epsilon_{1} \ \ (3)$

If it is not obvious to the reader, it can be explicitly stated that these are nothing other than the Cauchy-Riemann equations. What this means, firstly, is that the conformal Killing equations reduce to the Cauchy-Riemann equations. Secondly, in 2-dimensions the infinitesimal conformal transformations that are of primary focus obey these equations.

Why is this notable? We know that in the theory of complex variables we’re working with analytic functions. As Polchinski explicitly communicates (p.34), the advantage here is that in working with analytical functions we can employ the coordinate convention ${(z, \bar{z})}$. This means, firstly, that conformal transformations correspond with holomorphic and antiholomorphic coordinate transformations. These coordinate transformations are given by,

$\displaystyle z \rightarrow f(z), \ \ \ \bar{z} \rightarrow \bar{f}(\bar{z}) \ \ (4)$

Following Polchinski (pp.33-34), we are working with complex coordinates ${z = \sigma + i\sigma^2}$ and ${\bar{z} = \sigma - i\sigma^2}$. It is also the case that ${d^{2}x = dx^{0}dx^{1} = \frac{1}{2}dzd\bar{z}}$. More will be said about this in the next section. Meanwhile, we may also define in the Euclidean signature and with complex variables,

$\displaystyle \epsilon^{z} = \epsilon^0 + i\epsilon^1, \ \ \bar{\epsilon}^{\bar{z}} = \epsilon^0 - i\epsilon^1 \ \ (5)$

In which ${\epsilon}$ and ${\bar{\epsilon}}$ are infinitesimal conformal transformations. This implies that ${\partial_{z}\epsilon = 0}$ and ${\partial_{z}\bar{\epsilon} = 0}$.

And so, in terms of infinitesimal conformal transformations, we may write a change of holomorphic and antiholomorphic coordinates in an infinitesimal form,

$\displaystyle z \rightarrow z^{\prime} = z^{\prime} + \epsilon(z), \ \ \ \bar{z} \rightarrow \bar{z}^{\prime} = \bar{z}^{\prime} + \bar{\epsilon}(\bar{z}) \ \ (6)$

2. Generators of the 2-dimensional Conformal Group

What we want to do is obtain the basis of generators that produce the algebra of infinitesimal conformal transformations. To do so, we expand ${\epsilon}$ and ${\bar{\epsilon}}$ in a Laurent series obtaining the result,

$\displaystyle \epsilon(z) = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \epsilon_{n} z^{n+1} \ \ (7)$

And,

$\displaystyle \bar{\epsilon}(\bar{z}) = \sum_{n \in \mathbb{Z}} \epsilon_{n} \bar{z}^{n+1} \ \ (8)$

With the basis of generators that generate the infinitesimal conformal transformations given by,

$\displaystyle l_{n} = -z^{n+1}\partial_{z} \ \ (9)$

And,

$\displaystyle \bar{l}_{n} = -\bar{z}^{n+1}\partial_{\bar{z}} \ \ (10)$

Classically, the above generators satisfy the Virasoro algebra. Moreover, it follows that these generators form the set ${\{l_{n},\bar{l}_{n}\}}$ and this set becomes the algebra of infinitesimal conformal transformations for ${n \in \mathbb{Z}}$. The algebraic structure is given by the commutation relations,

$\displaystyle [l_m, l_n] = (m - n)l_{m + n} \ \ (11)$

$\displaystyle [\bar{l_m}, \bar{l_n}] = (m - n)\bar{l}_{m + n} \ \ (12)$

$\displaystyle [l_m, \bar{l_n}] = 0 \ \ (13)$

Importantly, the preceding generators obey the Witt algebra (Weigand, p.68). Also important, the generators that we’ve derived come into contact with the Möbius group (Weigand, p.69). To show this, we note the special case in which ${l_{0, \pm 1}}$ and ${\bar{l}_{0, \pm 1}}$. Considering an infinitesimal coordinate transformation, we find in the following cases:

* ${l_{-1} = -\partial_z}$ generates rigid translations of the form ${z^{\prime} = z - \epsilon}$;

* ${l_{0} = z -\epsilon z}$ generates dilatations;

* ${l_{1} = z - \epsilon z^2}$ generates special conformal transformations.

When we collect these we can describe globally defined conformal diffeomorphisms as stated below, which give the Möbius transformation,

$\displaystyle z \rightarrow \frac{az + b}{cz + d}$

Where ${ad - bc = 1}$. A list of other constraints can be reviewed (Weigand, p.69).

# Notes on string theory: Generators of conformal transformations

1. Infinitesimal Generators of the Conformal Group

In the last post, we considered a brief introduction to conformal field theory in string theory. We also began to study the d-dimensional conformal group, as described in equations (1) and (2). What we want to do now is study the infinitesimal generators of the d-dimensional conformal group, and in doing so we will refer back to these equations.

In other words, if we assume the background is flat, such that ${g_{\mu \nu} = \eta_{\mu \nu}}$, the essential point of interest here concerns the infinitesimal transformation of the coordinates. Returning to (2) in the last post, infinitesimal coordinate transformations may be considered generally in the form ${x^{\mu} \rightarrow x^{\prime \mu} = x^{\mu} + \epsilon^{\mu}(x) + \mathcal{O}(\epsilon^{2})}$. For the scaling factor ${\Omega (x)}$ we have ${\Omega (x) = e^{\omega(x)} = 1 + \omega(x) + [...]}$.

Now, the question remains: in the case of an infinitesimal transformation, what happens to the metric? It turns out that the metric is left unchanged. To consider why this is the case, we may consider (1) from the linked discussion. Moreover, if, as above, we take an infinitesimal coordinate transformation then we have

$\displaystyle g_{\mu \nu}^{\prime} (x^{\mu} + \epsilon^{\mu}) = g_{\mu \nu} + (\partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\mu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon^{\nu})g_{\mu \nu}$

$\displaystyle = g_{\mu \nu} + \partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} \ \ (3)$

However, to satisfy the condition of a conformal transformation, (3) must be equal to (1). So we equate (3) and (1),

$\displaystyle \omega(x)g_{\mu \nu}(x) = g_{\mu \nu} + \partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} \ \ (4)$

Where, ${\omega(x)}$ is just an arbitrary function denoting a very small deviation from identity. Thus, we may also write ${\omega(x) = \omega(x) - 1}$ which then gives,

$\displaystyle (\omega(x) - 1)g_{\mu \nu} = \partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} \ \ (5)$

For this to make sense, we must find some expression for the scaling term ${\omega(x) - 1}$. One way to proceed is to multiply both sides of (5) by ${g^{\mu \nu}}$. As we are working in ${d}$ spacetime dimensions, it follows ${g_{\mu \nu}g^{\mu \nu} = d}$. Hence,

$\displaystyle (\omega(x) - 1)g_{\mu \nu}g^{\mu \nu} = (\partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu})g^{\mu \nu}$

$\displaystyle (\omega(x) - 1)d = g^{\mu \nu}\partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + g^{\mu \nu}\partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} \ \ (6)$

The left-hand side of (6) is simple to manage. Focusing on the right-hand side, we raise indices and relabel. This gives us a usual factor of ${2}$. Hence, for the RHS of (6),

$\displaystyle = \partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon^{\mu}$

$\displaystyle = 2 \partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\nu} \ \ (7)$

Therefore, substituting (7) into the RHS of (6) we get,

$\displaystyle (\omega(x) - 1)d = 2 \partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\nu} \ \ (8)$

Now, if we divide both sides by ${d}$ and simplify, we end up with

$\displaystyle (\omega(x) - 1) = \frac{2}{d} \partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\nu} = \frac{2}{d} (\partial \cdot \epsilon) \ \ (9)$

For which we may note the substitution,

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{d}(\partial \cdot \epsilon) = \partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}\epsilon^{\mu} \ \ (10)$

Where we can see that the infinitesimal conformal transformation, ${\epsilon}$, obeys the above equation. What is significant about this equation? It is the conformal Killing equation. And, it turns out, solutions to the above correspond to infinitesimal conformal transformations. Let us now study these solutions.

To simplify things, notice firstly that we can define ${\partial_{\mu}\epsilon^{\mu} = \Box}$. Taking the derivative of the left and right-hand sides of the conformal Killing equation we obtain the following,

LHS:

$\displaystyle = \partial^{\mu}(\frac{2}{d}(\partial \cdot \epsilon))$

RHS:

$\displaystyle \partial^{\mu}\partial_{\mu}\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial^{\mu}\partial_{\nu}\epsilon_{\mu} = \Box\epsilon_{\nu} + \partial_{\nu}(\partial \cdot \epsilon)$

Putting everything together, equating both sides, and then rearranging terms we find,

$\displaystyle \Box\epsilon_{\nu} + (1 - \frac{2}{d})\partial_{\nu}(\partial \cdot \epsilon) = 0 \ \ (11)$

It is clear that when ${d = 2}$, our first equation may be written as

$\displaystyle \Box\epsilon_{\nu} = 0 \ \ (12)$

For ${d > 2}$, we arrive at the following commonly cited equations that one will find in most texts:

1) ${\epsilon^{\mu} = a^{\mu}}$ which represents a translation (${a^{\mu}}$ is a constant).

2) ${e^{\mu} = \lambda x^{\mu}}$ which represents a scale transformation. Note, this corresponds to an infinitesimal Poincaré transformation.

3) ${\epsilon^{\mu} = w^{\mu}_{\nu}x^{\nu}}$ which represents a rotation, where ${w^{\mu}_{\nu}x^{\nu}}$ is an antisymmetric tensor. Note, this antisymmetric tensor also acts as the generator of the Lorentz group. Also note, this corresponds to an infinitesimal Poincaré transformation.

4) ${\epsilon^{\mu} = b^{\mu}x^{2} - 2x^{\mu}(b \cdot x)}$ which represents a special conformal transformation.

From these equations, and with the inclusion of the Poincaré group, we have the collection of transformations known as the conformal group in d-dimensions. This group is isomorphic to SO(2,d).

To complete our discussion, we may note that generally we may also incorporate the following generators and thus the conformal group has the following representation:

1) ${P_{\mu} = -\partial_{\mu}}$, which generates translations and is from the Poincaré group.

2) ${D = -ix \cdot \partial}$, which generates scale transformations.

3) ${J_{\mu} = i(x_{\mu}\partial_{\nu} - x_{\nu}\partial_{\mu})}$, which generates rotations.

4) ${K_{\mu} = i(x^2\partial_{\mu} - 2x_{\mu}(x \cdot \partial))}$, which generates special conformal transformations.

This completes our review of the d-dimensional conformal group and its algebra. In the next post, we will study the conformal group in 2-dimensions.

# Notes on string theory: Introduction to Conformal Field Theory

1. Introduction

The aim of this post is to introduce the topic of Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) in string theory. In general, CFTs allow us to describe a number of systems in different areas of physics. To list one example, conformal invariance plays an important role in condensed matter physics, particularly in the context of second order phase transitions in which the critical behaviour of systems may be described. But as we are focused on the stringy case, we may motivate the study of CFTs as follows: 2-dimensional CFTs prove very important when it comes to the study of the physical dynamics of the worldsheet.

In past posts we already observed, for instance, how the internal modes along the string relate to conformal transformations. Indeed, upon fixing the worldsheet diffeomorphism plus Weyl symmetries, the result is precisely a CFT. There are many other topics that leverage the conformal symmetry of the worldsheet theory, including how we describe string-on-string interactions and how we compute scattering amplitudes. But perhaps one of the ultimate motivational factors is that, as an essential tool in perturbative string theory, CFTs enable the study of the quantum field theory of the worldsheet. There is also the added benefit that many CFTs are completely solvable.

2. Conformal Group in d-dimensions

Before we proceed with a study of conformal field theories (beginning with Chapter 2 in Polchinski), it is useful to first think generally about the conformal group and its algebra.

Formally, a CFT is a quantum field theory that is invariant under the conformal group. To give some geometric intuition, the conformal group may be described as follows: it is the set of transformations that preserve local angles but not necessarily distances. This may also be thought of as invariance under scaling, with a conformal mapping being quite simply a biholomorphic mapping.

We may give further intuition about the conformal group by revisiting a more familiar symmetry group. Recall in previous chapters a discussion about the Poincaré group. One will remember that transformations under the D-dimensional Poincaré group combine translations and Lorentz transformations. These may be thought of as symmetries of flat spacetime, such that the flat metric is left invariant.

The conformal group includes the Poincaré group, with the addition of extra spacetime symmetries. It has already been alluded, for example, that a type of conformal transformation is a scale transformation, in which we may act by zooming in and out of some region of spacetime. This extra spacetime symmetry is an act of rescaling.

More precisely, the conformal group may be thought of as the subgroup of the group of general coordinate transformations (or diffeomorphisms). Consider the following. If one has a metric ${g_{ab}(x)}$ (which is a 2-tensor) in d-dimensional spacetime, it follows that under the change of coordinates ${x \rightarrow x^{\prime}}$, we have a transformation of the general form

$\displaystyle g_{\mu \nu}(x) \rightarrow g^{\prime}_{\mu \nu}(x^{\prime}) = \frac{\partial x^{a}}{\partial x^{\prime \mu}}\frac{\partial x^{b}}{\partial x^{\prime \nu}} \ g_{ab} \ \ (1)$

Now, let us consider some function ${\Omega(x)}$ of the spacetime coordinates. If a conformal transformation is a change of coordinates such that the metric changes by an overall factor, then we may consider how the metric transforms as

$\displaystyle g_{\mu \nu}(\sigma) \rightarrow g^{\prime}_{\mu \nu}(\sigma^{\prime}) = \Omega (\sigma)g_{ab}(\sigma) \ \ (2)$

For some scaling factor ${\Omega(x)}$. This is a conformal transformation of the metric. Hence why there is preservation of angles but not lengths. As this particular subgroup of coordinate transformations preserve angles while distorting lengths, in studying how to construct conformally invariant theories we will learn that conformal systems do not possess definitions of scale with respect to intrinsic length, mass or energy. For these reasons one might say the working physics is somewhat constrained or confined, such that there is no induction of a reference scale in the purest sense of the word. This is also why, in our case, CFTs prove interesting: they lend themselves quite naturally to the study of massless excitations.

Now, in thinking again of the conformal transformation described in (4.2), another important and directly related point concerns a description of the metric. It is common in the literature that the background is flat. It also turns out – and this will become more apparent later on – the background metric can either be fixed or dynamical (Tong, p.61). In the future, as we work in the Polyakov formalism, the metric is dynamical and, in this case, the transformation is a diffeomorphism – not just a gauge symmetry, but a residual gauge symmetry which, we will learn, can be undone by a Weyl transformation. But before that, in simpler examples, the background metric will be fixed and so the transformation will be representative of a global symmetry. In this case of a fixed metric, the transformation should be thought of as a genuine physical symmetry, and this global symmetry contains corresponding conserved currents. The corresponding charges for these currents are the Virasoro generators, which is something we will study later on.

# Papers: Holography and the cosmological constant problem, plus a new publication from Zwiebach

[latexpage]

Non-perturbative de Sitter vacua via $alpha^{prime}$ corrections – Barton Zwiebach

Barton Zwiebach has a new paper out. It’s rather lovely.

The paper was written for, and submitted to, the Gravity Research Foundation 2019 Awards for Essays on Gravitation. Zwiebach’s contribution was awarded second place. However, given the content and general parameters of the first place paper, I believe Zwiebach’s contribution could have easily been given the top prize. (Granted, I have my stringy biases).

As for the paper itself, the premise is both subtle and interesting. The stage is set in the context of two-derivative supergravity theories, in which a large – indeed, infinite – number of higher-derivative corrections correlate with the parameter $alpha^{prime}$. One should note that $alpha^{prime}$ is indeed the dimensionful parameter in string theory.

One of the challenges since the 1980s has been to achieve a complete description of these higher-derivatives. It turns out a rather interesting approach may be taken by way of duality covariant ‘stringy’ field variables, as opposed to directly supergravity field variables.

From a quick readthrough, the idea presented in Zwiebach’s paper is to drop all dependence on spatial coordinates, such that only time dependence remains. The time dependent ansatz enables a general analysis on cosmological, purely time-dependent backgrounds on which all the duality invariant corrections relevant to these backgrounds may be classified. Leveraging the duality group $O(d,d, R)$, an $O(d,d, R)$ invariant action is constructed of the form

[ I_{0} equiv int dt e^{-Phi}frac{1}{n}(-dot{Phi}^{2} – frac{1}{8}tr(dot{S}^{2}) ]

Then, Zwiebach includes in the two-derivative action all of the $alpha^{prime}$ corrections. Around this point, the work of Meissner is referenced. Admittedly, I will have to review Meissner’s work moving future. Meanwhile, I rewrite the general duality invariant action from the paper as it is quite nice to look at,

[ I_{0} equiv int dt e^{-Phi}frac{1}{n}(-dot{Phi}^{2} + sum_{k=1}^{infty}(alpha^{prime})^{k+1}c_{k}tr(dot{S}^{2k}) + multi-traces ]

This action, it turns out, encodes the complete $alpha^{prime}$ corrections. Moreover, these corrections are for cosmological backgrounds. The aim is thus to classify the higher-derivative interactions, and then derive general cosmological equations to order of $alpha^{prime}$. Upon deriving these equations of motions, the key point to highlight is how one can then go on to construct non-perturbative de Sitter solutions.

Perhaps it remains to be said that de Sitter vacua are a hot topic in string theory. In the end, Zwiebach finds a non-perturbative de Sitter solution – that is, non-perturbative in $alpha^{prime}$, which is very cool.

After only a few minutes with this paper, I am eager to dig a bit deeper. Needless to say, it is intriguing to think more about the string landscape in the context of its study.

This 2011 paper by Kyriakos Papadodimas is on the cosmological constant problem in the context of the dual conformal field theory. The preprint version linked is several years old, and so I should preface what follows by stating that I have not yet had a chance to review all of the papers that directly proceed it. Indeed, this paper ends with the allusion of a follow-up, and I look forward to reading it.

Another comment for the sake of historical context, this paper on the CC problem precedes by almost two-years the publication of two important papers by Papadodimas and Suvrat Raju, the focus of which is on the black hole interior and AdS/CFT.

Now, as for the paper linked above, one of the key questions entertained concerns whether holography theory can teach us anything new about the cosmological constant problem. Of course the CC problem – or what is sometimes dramatically referred to as the vacuum catastrophe – represents one of the big questions for 21st century physics. It is one which Prof. Padilla and I sometimes talk about.

In approaching Papadodimas’ paper, the following question may be offered: is it possible that Nature’s mechanism for apparent fine-tuning may reside in a fundamental theory of emergent fields?

In the first section or two, Papadodimas builds an analogue of c.c. fine-tuning in terms of 4-point functions. We come to understand that, in the CFT, 4-point functions can more easily be translated into correlation functions. Using Witt diagrams, which are like Feynman diagrams, one takes the external points to infinity – or, in this case, to the conformal boundary of AdS. (The basics of this approach will most certainly be studied in my series of blog posts on string theory, beginning with the collection of notes on Conformal Field Theory). The advantage, moreover, is that the 4-point functions become Witt diagrams, and, then, through the AdS/CFT correspondence, one can relate these to the correlators on the boundary.

So this is the plan, which, Papadodimas argues, will enable the study of fine-tuning in the bulk in terms of fine-tuning within the dual CFT.

In proceeding his study, Papadodimas gives quite a few comments as to how we might think of fine-tuning as it manifests in the dual CFT. The picture here is really quite interesting; because if, as noted above, we can express fine-tuning in terms of graviton correlation functions, what I have so far failed to mention is that these correlation functions of gravitons are duel correlation functions of the stress-energy tensor on the boundary.

The greater goal – or ideal outcome – would be to study fine-tuning on the boundary, particularly how it is resolved. What we come to learn is how the large N expansion, the concept of which one may be familiar from their study of QFT, plays an important role. Moreover, one of the interesting suggestions is how the $frac{1}{N}$ suppression of correlators, which relates to the large N gauge theories in the t’Hooft limit, gives us early hints of fine-tuning.

Now, one of the questions I had early on pertained to the comment that it would not be difficult to split up a correlator into a sum of terms, and then expose this broken correlator to some interpretation of fine-tuning. That is to say, nothing is stopping us from breaking up the correlator into a sum of terms and then pointing at this object and saying, ‘see we have fine-tuning!’. But Papadodimas is a smart guy, and he already knows this.

To be clear, and to summarise what I am talking about, part of the strategy explained by the author early on includes expanding “the correlators into sums of terms, each of which corresponds to the exchange of certain gauge invariant operators in intermediate channels i.e. into a sum of conformal blocks. While the sum of all these contributions is suppressed by the expected power of 1/N, individual terms in the sum can be parametrically larger, as long as they cancel among themselves” (p.2). These cancelations are what we’re looking for, because, the interpretation of this paper is that they are in a way an expression of bulk fine-tuning in the dual CFT.

Papadodimas quickly extinguished my one concern, however; because we are not arbitrarily breaking up the correlator. He recognised that one may perform such an act artificially, which wouldn’t have much meaning. Instead, he searches for and performs an canonical procedure. I found this very interesting to follow. What we end up with is an expansion in conformal blocks that looks like this,

[ langle tilde{T}(x_{1})tilde{T}(x_{2})tilde{T}(x_{3})tilde{T}(x_{4})rangle_{con} = sum_{A} mid C_{TT}^{A}mid^{2}G_{A}(x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}, x_{4}) ]

Then, following a brief review of holography, some comments on hierarchy vs. fine-tuning, and also a study of important cutoffs, the idea of a sort of dual picture emerges, in which the physical description may appear natural in one picture – such as in the $frac{1}{c}$ expansions discussed in the paper – and then finely tuned in the second picture.

There is too much to summarise in such a small space. So I will just pick up on how, in the dual CFT, I found it intriguing that, should the arguments hold, the double operator product expansion of the correlator written above displays partial sums over the conformal blocks that cancel. As alluded early, in the context of the particular CFT, the interpretation is that the conformal blocks appear fine-tuned. But the mechanism behind this exhibited fine-tuning is not fine-tuning as I read it, such that it becomes clear that in large N gauge theories this expansion of the conformal block is natural. The naturalness of the expansion is consistent with what we know of the large $frac{1}{N}$ expansion in the t’Hooft limit.

Papadodimas closes with the explanation that in the context of a CFT with a large central charge, there is a notable c.c. problem in the holographic dual. As I focused on, it is found in this CFT a semblance of fine-tuning in the correlator blocks of the $frac{1}{N}$ expansion. However this may be interpreted, the interesting idea is that: “this fine-tuning may be visible when the correlators are expressed in terms of the exchange of conformal primaries, it may disappear if the correlators are written in terms of the fundamental fields of the underlying QFT” (p.32).

If this is in any way true, it raises some very intriguing questions and raises some very interesting potential pathways for future study, the likes of which Papadodimas spells out in explicit terms. The suggestion of the use of a toy theory, as opposed to a non-perturbative study, makes me think of the SYK model. It will be curious to follow-up on the papers that directly follow.

One last closing comment: I am excited to say that Papadodimas will be one of the lecturers at a special engagement I will be attending this summer at the University of Madrid. The engagement, SIFTS 2019, comprises of two weeks of discussion, review, study and brainstorming on issues in string theory (and fundamental physics broadly). Papadodimas will be lecturing on the black hole interior and AdS/CFT. It shall be brilliant.

# Which function grows faster?

Which function grows faster

$$𝑓(𝑛)= 2^{𝑛^2+3𝑛}$$ and $$𝑔(𝑛) = 2^{𝑛+1}$$

by using the limit theorem I will first simplify

then I will just get $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \dfrac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^{n+1}}=\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^{n^2+3n-n-1}=\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^{n^2+2n-1}=\infty$$

Is this enough? I say it will go then to infinity so the $$f(n)$$ is growing faster? I am asking this question because I have to find it by using limit but I didn't need to use l'hopital rule!

• I reformatted your limits, but I didn't change the arithmetic (or at least, I didn't intend to). You appear to have mishandled the exponents. – lulu Oct 26 '18 at 14:49
• @lulu could you see the question again I edit the 1 , must be on the power of 2 – NANA Oct 26 '18 at 14:57
• Yes. With that edit , your arithmetic is correct. And your argument is sufficient. – lulu Oct 26 '18 at 15:07

Before Edit: Your idea was correct, but you didn’t simplify the limit properly. $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^n+1}$$ It is enough to divide both the numerator and denominator by $$2^n$$. $$\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{\frac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^n}}{\frac{2^n+1}{2^n}} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2^{n^2+3n-n}}{2^{n-n}+\frac{1}{2^n}} = \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{2^{n^2+2n}}{1+\frac{1}{2^n}}$$ As $$n \to \infty$$, it becomes clear that the limit tends to $$\infty$$ since the numerator tends to $$\infty$$ while the denominator tends to $$1$$.

After Edit: Yes, your way is correct.

• I forget to add brackets on the second function, it must be $2^{n+1}$ @KM101 – NANA Oct 26 '18 at 14:56
• Well, I guess all the answers are pointless now. :-) – KM101 Oct 26 '18 at 15:04
• sorry for that! and thanks, then shall I put the first question too so that it wouldn't be pointless !! :) @KM101 – NANA Oct 26 '18 at 15:06

It is $$\frac{2^{n^2}\cdot 2^{3n}}{2^n\left(1+\frac{1}{2^n}\right)}=\frac{2^{n^2+2n}}{1+\frac{1}{2^n}}$$

HINT

You conclusion is correct but that step is wrong

$$\lim_{n \to \infty}= \dfrac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^n+1}\color{red}{=\lim_{n \to \infty} 2^{n^2+3n-n-1}}$$

you could use that $$2^n+1\le 2^{n+1}$$ and therefore

$$\dfrac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^n+1}\ge \dfrac{2^{n^2+3n}}{2^{n+1}}$$

Update after editing

For $$g(n)=2^{n+1}$$ your method is absolutely correct.

What about $$f(n)=2^{n^2+3n}$$ and $$g(n)=3^{n+1}$$?

• I have this question too! but couldn't find any idea how to start solving it, because of the 3 ! any hint ?? @gimusi – NANA Oct 26 '18 at 15:17
• @NANA We could use $3^{n+1}\le 4^{n+1}$. – gimusi Oct 26 '18 at 15:34
• $3^{n+1}=2^{(log_23)(n+1)}$ – TurlocTheRed Oct 26 '18 at 17:35

The dollar or peso sign is a symbol primarily used to indicate the various dollar and peso units of currency around the world.

## Origin

The sign is attested in business correspondence between the British, Americans, Canadians, and Mexicans in the 1770s, as referring to the Spanish-Mexican peso,[1][2] known as "Spanish dollar" or "pieces of eight" in British North America where it was adopted as U.S. currency in 1785, together with the term "dollar" and the $sign. The origin of the "$" sign has been variously accounted for. Perhaps the most widely accepted explanation is that it is the result of the evolution of the Spanish and Mexican scribal abbreviation "ps" for pesos. This theory, derived from a study of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century manuscripts, explains that the s gradually came to be written over the p developing a close equivalent to the "$" mark."[3][4][5] ## Alternative hypotheses There are a number of other theories about the origin of the symbol, some with a measure of academic acceptance, others the symbolic equivalent of folk etymologies.[6] Advertisements ### Drawn with one vertical line ($)

#### Slash 8

That the dollar sign is derived from a slash through the numeral eight, denoting pieces of eight. The Oxford English Dictionary before 1963 held that this was the most probable explanation, though later editions have placed it in doubt.[citation needed]

#### Potosi mint mark

Image of 1768 Spanish Colonial Real silver coin, showing PTSI mint mark in lower right and left quadrants and the Pillars of Hercules surrounding a picture of the world.

That the dollar sign was derived from or inspired by the mint mark on the Spanish pieces of eight that were minted in Potosí (in present day Bolivia). The mint mark was composed of the letters "PTSI" superimposed on one another and bear an undeniable resemblance to the single-stroke dollar sign (see above photo). The mark, which appeared on silver coins minted from 1573 to 1825 in Potosí, the largest mint during the colonial period, would have been widely recognized throughout the North American colonies.[citation needed]

#### Alchemic sigil for cinnabar

An alchemic sigil for cinnabar dating at least as far back as the early eighteenth century. [7]

#### Greek mythology

That the dollar sign may have also originated from Hermes, the Greek god of bankers, thieves, messengers, and tricksters: Besides the crane, one of his symbols was the caduceus, a staff from which ribbons or snakes dangled in a sinuous curve.[citation needed]

### Drawn with two vertical lines

#### Spanish coat of arms

That the dollar sign derives from the Spanish coat of arms engraved on the Spanish colonial silver coins. The Spanish coat of arms on the coins includes two columns, the Pillars of Hercules and a small "S"-shaped ribbon around each, with the motto "Plus Ultra".[8]

#### From 'US'

That $is a monogram of U. S., used on money bags issued by the United States Mint. The letters U and S superimposed resemble the historical double stroke "$" sign: the bottom of the 'U' disappears into the bottom curve of the 'S', leaving two vertical lines. This theory, popularized by novelist Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged [9], does not consider the fact that the symbol was already in use before the formation of the United States.[10]

#### "Unit of silver"

That it derives from "unit of silver", each unit being one "bit" of the "pieces of eight". Before the American Revolution, prices were often quoted in units of the Spanish dollar. According to this theory, when a price was quoted the capital 'S' was used to indicate silver with a capital 'U' written on top to indicate units. Eventually the capital 'U' was replaced by double vertical hash marks.

#### German Thaler

That it derives from the symbol used on a German Thaler. According to Ovason (2004), on one type of thaler one side showed the crucified Christ while the other showed a serpent hanging from a cross, the letters NU near the serpent's head, and on the other side of the cross the number 21. This refers to the Bible, Numbers, Chapter 21 (see Nehushtan).[citation needed]

#### Roman sestertius

That the dollar sign goes back to the most important Roman coin, the sestertius, which had the letters 'HS' as its currency sign. When superimposed these letters form a dollar sign with two vertical strokes (the horizontal line of the 'H' merging into the 'S').

## Later history of the dollar sign

According to a plaque in St Andrews, Scotland, the dollar sign was first cast into type at a foundry in Philadelphia, United States in 1797 by the Scottish immigrant John Baine.

The plaque in St. Andrews.

The dollar sign did not appear on U.S. coinage until February 2007,[citation needed] when it was used on the reverse of a $1 coin authorized by the Presidential$1 Coin Act of 2005.[11]

The dollar sign appears on the reverse of the 1934 $100,000 note as well as the reverse of the 1917$1 note.[citation needed]

## Use in computer programming

The symbol "$" has Unicode code point U+0024 (inherited from Latin-1). As the dollar sign is one of the few symbols that are, on the one hand, almost universally present in computer character sets, but, on the other hand, rarely needed in their literal meaning within programming languages, the$ character has been used on computers for many purposes not related to money, including:

• $was used as a string terminator in CP/M and subsequently also in all versions of 86-DOS, PC-DOS, MS-DOS and derivatives (Int 21h with AH=09h) •$ signifies the end of a line or the file in text editors ed, ex, vi, pico and derivatives, and, as a consequence:
• $matches the end of a line or string in sed, grep, and POSIX and Perl regular expressions. •$ was used for defining string variables in older versions of the BASIC programming language ("$" was often pronounced "string" instead of "dollar" in this use). •$ is used for defining hexadecimal constants in Pascal-like languages such as Delphi, as well as in certain variants of assembly language.
• $is used at the beginnings of names to define variables in the PHP programming language and the AutoIt automation script language, scalar variables in the Perl programming language (see Sigil (computer programming)), and global variables in the Ruby programming language. • In most shell scripting languages,$ is used for interpolating environment variables, special variables, arithmetic computations and special characters, and for performing translation of localised strings.
• In Unix-like systems the $is often part of the command prompt, depending on the user's shell and environment settings. For example, the default environment settings for the bash shell specify$ as part of the command prompt.
• $is used in the TeX typesetting language to delimit mathematical regions. •$ is used by the prompt command in DOS to insert special sequences into the DOS command prompt string.
• Formulas in Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheets use $to indicate an absolute cell reference. • In many versions of FORTRAN 66,$ could be used as an alternative to a quotation mark for delimiting strings.
• In PL/M, $can be used for putting a visible separation between syllables of identifiers. For example, 'Some$Name' will refer to the same thing as 'SomeName' in PL/M.
• In the LDAP directory access protocol, $is used as a line separator in various standard entry attributes such as postalAddress. • In Haskell,$ is used as a function application operator.
• In Microsoft Windows, $is used at the end of the share name to hide a shared folder. For example, \\server\share will be visible and accessible through browsing, while \\server\share$ will only be accessible by explicit reference.

## Currencies that use the dollar or peso sign

In addition to those countries of the world that use dollars or pesos, a number of other countries use the $symbol to denote their currencies, including: Except the Philippine peso, whose sign is written as . Some currencies use the cifrão $(\mathrm{S}\!\!\!\Vert )$, similar to the dollar sign, but always with two strokes: The cifrão is also used to account for over 130,000,000 domestic standard US Mint (1986+) bullion US silver dollars as one dollar per one troy ounce fine (99.9%), thereby avoiding confusion with debased US trade dollar-denominated tokens and Federal Reserve Notes.[citation needed] In Mexico and another peso-using countries, the cifrão is used as a dollar sign when a document uses pesos and dollars at the same time, to avoid confusions, but, when it used alone, usually is represented as$USD (United States Dollars). Example: $5USD (Five dollars).[citation needed] In the United States, the dollar symbol precedes the number, unlike almost all other units. Five dollars is written and printed as$5, whereas five cents is written as 5¢.

Per Bak (December 8, 1948 – October 16, 2002) was a Danish theoretical physicist who coauthored the 1987 academic paper that coined the term "self-organized criticality."

## Life and work 生活和工作

After receiving his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Denmark in 1974, Bak worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory. He specialized in phase transitions, such as those occurring when an insulator suddenly becomes a conductor or when water freezes. In that context, he also did important work on complicated spatially modulated (magnetic) structures in solids. This research led him to the more general question of how organization emerges from disorder.

1974年，巴克获得丹麦科技大学博士学位，之后在布鲁克海文国家实验室工作。他专门研究相变，比如当绝缘体突然变成导体时的相变，或者水变成冰时的相变。在这种背景下，他还着重研究固体中复杂的空间调制（磁）结构。这项研究让他思考一个更普遍的问题：组织是如何从混乱中产生的。

In 1987, he and two postdoctoral researchers, Chao Tang and Kurt Wiesenfeld, published an article in Physical Review Letters setting a new concept they called self-organized criticality. The first discovered example of a dynamical system displaying such self-organized criticality, the Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld sandpile model, was named after them.

1987年，他和两位博士后研究人员：汤超(Chao Tang) 和 库尔特·维森费尔德(Kurt Wiesenfeld)，在《物理评论快报》上发表了一篇文章，提出了一个新的概念，他们称之为自组织临界。第一个说明自组织临界态的动态系统Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld沙堆模型，就是以他们命名的。

Faced with many skeptics, Bak pursued the implications of his theory at a number of institutions, including the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Santa Fe Institute, the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, and Imperial College London, where he became a professor in 2000.

In 1996, he took his ideas to a broader audience with his ambitiously entitled book, How Nature Works. In 2001, Bak learned that he had myelodysplastic syndrome and died from it the following year. Bak is survived by his second wife, Maya Paczuski, a fellow physicist and current professor at the University of Calgary,[1] with whom he has coauthored papers,[2][3] and his four children.

1996年，他写下《自然是如何运作的》，这本雄心勃勃的著作进一步推广了自组织临界理论。2001年，巴克得知自己得了骨髓增生异常综合征，于第二年去世。巴克死后，留下他的第二任妻子马雅·帕丘斯基(Maya Paczuski)和4个孩子。马雅·帕丘斯基是他的同事，也是物理学家，目前是卡尔加里大学[1] 的教授，他们曾合著了多篇论文[2][3]

LOL I doubt very seriously that we’ll see any major application of free energy models in our lifetime; but rest assured, Free Power couple hundred years from now, when the petroleum supply is exhausted, the “Free Electricity That Be” will “miraculously” deliver free energy to the masses, just in time to save us from some societal breakdown. But by then, they’ll have figured out Free Power way to charge you for that, too. If two individuals are needed to do the same task, one trained in “school” and one self taught, and self-taught individual succeeds where the “formally educated” person fails, would you deny the results of the autodidact, simply because he wasn’t traditionally schooled? I’Free Power hope not. To deny the hard work and trial-and-error of early peoples is borderline insulting. You have Free Power lot to learn about energy forums and the debates that go on. It is not about research, well not about proper research. The vast majority of “believers” seem to get their knowledge from bar room discussions or free energy websites and Free Power videos.
Reality is never going to be accepted by tat section of the community. Thanks for writing all about the phase conjugation stuff. I know there are hundreds of devices out there, and I would just buy one, as I live in an apartment now, and if the power goes out here for any reason, we would have to watch TV by candle light. lol. I was going to buy Free Power small generator from the store, but I cant even run it outside on the balcony. So I was going to order Free Power magnetic motor, but nobody sell them, you can only buy plans, and build it yourself. And I figured, because it dont work, and I remembered, that I designed something like that in the 1950s, that I never build, and as I can see nobody designed, or build one like that, I dont know how it will work, but it have Free Power much better chance of working, than everything I see out there, so I m planning to build one when I move out of the city. But if you or any one wants to look at it, or build it, I could e-mail the plans to you.

Former Free Electricity was among Free Electricity’s closest friends, and the flight logs from Free Electricity’s private jet shown here reveal that Free Electricity was listed as Free Power passenger on the jet at least Free energy times between Free Power and Free Power, which would have put Free Electricity on the plane at least once Free Power month during the two-year period. Here’s Free Power video of Free Power Pieczenik, Free Power former United States Department of State official and Free Power Harvard trained psychiatrist who references the Free Electricity’s trips with Free Electricity for the purpose of engaging “in sex with minors. ”
Free Energy to leave possible sources of motive force out of it. 0. 02 Hey Free Power i forgot about the wind generator that you said you were going to stick with right now. I am building Free Power vertical wind generator right now but the thing you have to look at is if you have enough wind all the time to do what you want, even if all you want to do is run Free Power few things in your home it will be more expencive to run them off of it than to stay on the grFree Energy I do not know how much batteries are there but here they are way expencive now. Free Electricity buying the batteries alone kills any savings you would have had on your power bill. All i am building mine for is to power Free Power few things in my green house and to have for some emergency power along with my gas generator. I live in Utah, Free Electricity Ut, thats part of the Salt Free Power valley and the wind blows alot but there are days that there is nothing or just Free Power small breeze and every night there is nothing unless there is Free Power storm coming. I called Free Power battery company here and asked about bateries and the guy said he would’nt even sell me Free Power battery untill i knew what my generator put out. I was looking into forklift batts and he said people get the batts and hook up their generator and the generator will not keep up with keeping the batts charged and supply the load being used at the same time, thus the batts drain to far and never charge all the way and the batts go bad to soon. So there are things to look at as you build, especially the cost. Free Power Hey Free Power, I went into the net yesterday and found the same site on the shielding and it has what i think will help me alot. Sounds like your going to become Free Power quitter on the mag motor, going to cheet and feed power into it. Im just kidding, have fun. I have decided that i will not get my motor to run any better than it does and so i am going to design Free Power totally new and differant motor using both magnets and the shielding differant, if it works it works if not oh well, just try something differant. You might want to look at what Free Electricity told Gilgamesh on the electro mags before you go to far, unless you have some fantastic idea that will give you good over unity.

# The machine can then be returned and “recharged”. Another thought is short term storage of solar power. It would be way more efficient than battery storage. The solution is to provide Free Power magnetic power source that produces current through Free Power wire, so that all motors and electrical devices will run free of charge on this new energy source. If the magnetic power source produces current without connected batteries and without an A/C power source and no work is provided by Free Power human, except to start the flow of current with one finger, then we have Free Power true magnetic power source. I think that I have the solution and will begin building the prototype. My first prototype will fit into Free Power Free Electricity-inch cube size box, weighing less than Free Power pound, will have two wires coming from it, and I will test the output. Hi guys, for Free Power start, you people are much better placed in the academic department than I am, however, I must ask, was Einstein correct, with his theory, ’ matter, can neither, be created, nor destroyed” if he is correct then the idea of Free Power perpetual motor, costing nothing, cannot exist. Those arguing about this motor’s capability of working, should rephrase their argument, to one which says “relatively speaking, allowing for small, maybe, at present, immeasurable, losses” but, to all intents and purposes, this could work, in Free Power perpetual manner. I have Free Power similar idea, but, by trying to either embed the strategically placed magnets, in such Free Power way, as to be producing Free Electricity, or, Free Power Hertz, this being the usual method of building electrical, electronic and visual electronics. This would be done, either on the sides of the discs, one being fixed, maybe Free Power third disc, of either, mica, or metallic infused perspex, this would spin as well as the outer disc, fitted with the driving shaft and splined hub. Could anybody, build this? Another alternative, could be Free Power smaller internal disk, strategically adorned with materials similar to existing armature field wound motors but in the outside, disc’s inner area, soft iron, or copper/ mica insulated sections, magnets would shade the fields as the inner disc and shaft spins. Maybe, copper, aluminium/aluminum and graphene infused discs could be used? Please pull this apart, nay say it, or try to build it?Lets use Free Power slave to start it spinning, initially!! In some areas Eienstien was correct and in others he was wrong. His Theory of Special Realitivity used concepts taken from Lorentz. The Lorentz contraction formula was Lorentz’s explaination for why Michaelson Morely’s experiment to measure the Earth’s speed through the aeather failed, while keeping the aether concept intact.

The song’s original score designates the duet partners as “wolf” and “mouse, ” and genders are unspecified. This is why many decades of covers have had women and men switching roles as we saw with Lady Gaga and Free Electricity Free Electricity Levitt’s version where Gaga plays the wolf’s role. Free Energy, even Miss Piggy of the Muppets played the wolf as she pursued ballet dancer Free Energy NureyeFree Power
The force with which two magnets repel is the same as the force required to bring them together. Ditto, no net gain in force. No rotation. I won’t even bother with the Free Power of thermodynamics. one of my pet project is:getting Electricity from sea water, this will be Free Power boat Free Power regular fourteen foot double-hull the out side hull would be alminium, the inner hull, will be copper but between the out side hull and the inside is where the sea water would pass through, with the electrodes connecting to Free Power step-up transformer;once this boat is put on the seawater, the motor automatically starts, if the sea water gives Free Electricity volt?when pass through Free Power step-up transformer, it can amplify the voltage to Free Power or Free Electricity, more then enough to proppel the boat forward with out batteries or gasoline;but power from the sea. Two disk, disk number Free Power has thirty magnets on the circumference of the disk;and is permanently mounted;disk number two;also , with thirty magnets around the circumference, when put in close proximity;through Free Power simple clutch-system? the second disk would spin;connect Free Power dynamo or generator? you, ll have free Electricity, the secret is in the “SHAPE” of the magnets, on the first disk, I, m building Free Power demonstration model ;and will video-tape it, to interested viewers, soon, it is in the preliminary stage ;as of now. the configuration of this motor I invented? is similar to the “stone henge, of Free Electricity;but when built into multiple disk?

#### I wanted to end with Free Power laugh. I will say, I like Free Electricity Free Power for his comedy. Sure sometimes I am not sure if it comes across to most people as making fun of spirituality and personal work, or if it just calls out the ridiculousness of some of it when we do it inauthentically, but he still has some great jokes. Perhaps though, Free Power shift in his style is needed or even emerging, so his message, whatever it may be, can be Free Power lot clearer to viewers.

My older brother explained that in high school physics, they learned that magnetism is not energy at all. Never was, never will be. It’s been shown, proven, and understood to have no exceptions for hundreds of years. Something that O. U. should learn but refuses to. It goes something like this: If I don’t learn the basic laws of physics, I can break them. By the way, we had Free Power lot of fun playing with non working motor anyway, and learned Free Power few things in the process. My brother went on to get his PHD in physics and wound up specializing in magnetism. He designed many of the disk drive plates and electronics in the early (DOS) computers. bnjroo Harvey1 Thanks for the reply! I’m afraid there is an endless list of swindlers and suckers out there. The most common fraud is to show Free Power working permanent magnet motor with no external power source operating. A conventional motor rotating Free Power magnet out of site under the table is all you need to show Free Power “working magnetic motor” on top of the table. How could I know this? Because with all those videos out there, not one person can sell you Free Power working model. Also, not one of these scammers can ever let anyone not related to his scam operate the motor without the scammer hovering around. The believers are victims of something called “Confirmation Bias”. Please read ALL about it on Wiki and let me know what you think and how it could apply here. This trap has ensnared some very smart people. Harvey1 bnjroo Free Energy two books! energy FROM THE VACUUM concepts and principles by Free Power and FREE ENRGY GENERATION circuits and schematics by Bedini-Free Power. Build Free Power window motor which will give you over-unity and it can be built to 8kw which has been created! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! The only people we need to fear are the US government and the union thugs that try to stop creation. Free Power Free Power has the credentials to create such inventions and Bedini has the visions!
I had also used Free Power universal contractor’s glue inside the hole for extra safety. You don’t need to worry about this on the outside sections. Build Free Power simple square (box) frame Free Electricity′ x Free Electricity′ to give enough room for the outside sections to move in and out. The “depth” or length of it will depend on how many wheels you have in it. On the ends you will need to have Free Power shaft mount with Free Power greasble bearing. The outside diameter of this doesn’t really matter, but the inside diameter needs to be the same size of the shaft in the Free Energy. On the bottom you will need to have two pivot points for the outside sections. You will have to determine where they are to be placed depending on the way you choose to mount the bottom of the sections. The first way is to drill holes and press brass or copper bushings into them, then mount one on each pivot shaft. (That is what I did and it worked well.) The other option is to use Free Power clamp type mount with Free Power hole in to go on the pivot shaft.
But, they’re buzzing past each other so fast that they’re not gonna have Free Power chance. Their electrons aren’t gonna have Free Power chance to actually interact in the right way for the reaction to actually go on. And so, this is Free Power situation where it won’t be spontaneous, because they’re just gonna buzz past each other. They’re not gonna have Free Power chance to interact properly. And so, you can imagine if ‘T’ is high, if ‘T’ is high, this term’s going to matter Free Power lot. And, so the fact that entropy is negative is gonna make this whole thing positive. And, this is gonna be more positive than this is going to be negative. So, this is Free Power situation where our Delta G is greater than zero. So, once again, not spontaneous. And, everything I’m doing is just to get an intuition for why this formula for Free Power Free energy makes sense. And, remember, this is true under constant pressure and temperature. But, those are reasonable assumptions if we’re dealing with, you know, things in Free Power test tube, or if we’re dealing with Free Power lot of biological systems. Now, let’s go over here. So, our enthalpy, our change in enthalpy is positive. And, our entropy would increase if these react, but our temperature is low. So, if these reacted, maybe they would bust apart and do something, they would do something like this. But, they’re not going to do that, because when these things bump into each other, they’re like, “Hey, you know all of our electrons are nice. “There are nice little stable configurations here. “I don’t see any reason to react. ” Even though, if we did react, we were able to increase the entropy. Hey, no reason to react here. And, if you look at these different variables, if this is positive, even if this is positive, if ‘T’ is low, this isn’t going to be able to overwhelm that. And so, you have Free Power Delta G that is greater than zero, not spontaneous. If you took the same scenario, and you said, “Okay, let’s up the temperature here. “Let’s up the average kinetic energy. ” None of these things are going to be able to slam into each other. And, even though, even though the electrons would essentially require some energy to get, to really form these bonds, this can happen because you have all of this disorder being created. You have these more states. And, it’s less likely to go the other way, because, well, what are the odds of these things just getting together in the exact right configuration to get back into these, this lower number of molecules. And, once again, you look at these variables here. Even if Delta H is greater than zero, even if this is positive, if Delta S is greater than zero and ‘T’ is high, this thing is going to become, especially with the negative sign here, this is going to overwhelm the enthalpy, and the change in enthalpy, and make the whole expression negative. So, over here, Delta G is going to be less than zero. And, this is going to be spontaneous. Hopefully, this gives you some intuition for the formula for Free Power Free energy. And, once again, you have to caveat it. It’s under, it assumes constant pressure and temperature. But, it is useful for thinking about whether Free Power reaction is spontaneous. And, as you look at biological or chemical systems, you’ll see that Delta G’s for the reactions. And so, you’ll say, “Free Electricity, it’s Free Power negative Delta G? “That’s going to be Free Power spontaneous reaction. “It’s Free Power zero Delta G. “That’s gonna be an equilibrium. ”
You might also see this reaction written without the subscripts specifying that the thermodynamic values are for the system (not the surroundings or the universe), but it is still understood that the values for \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS are for the system of interest. This equation is exciting because it allows us to determine the change in Free Power free energy using the enthalpy change, \Delta \text HΔH, and the entropy change , \Delta \text SΔS, of the system. We can use the sign of \Delta \text GΔG to figure out whether Free Power reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction, backward direction, or if the reaction is at equilibrium. Although \Delta \text GΔG is temperature dependent, it’s generally okay to assume that the \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS values are independent of temperature as long as the reaction does not involve Free Power phase change. That means that if we know \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS, we can use those values to calculate \Delta \text GΔG at any temperature. We won’t be talking in detail about how to calculate \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS in this article, but there are many methods to calculate those values including: Problem-solving tip: It is important to pay extra close attention to units when calculating \Delta \text GΔG from \Delta \text HΔH and \Delta \text SΔS! Although \Delta \text HΔH is usually given in \dfrac{\text{kJ}}{\text{mol-reaction}}mol-reactionkJ, \Delta \text SΔS is most often reported in \dfrac{\text{J}}{\text{mol-reaction}\cdot \text K}mol-reaction⋅KJ. The difference is Free Power factor of 10001000!! Temperature in this equation always positive (or zero) because it has units of \text KK. Therefore, the second term in our equation, \text T \Delta \text S\text{system}TΔSsystem, will always have the same sign as \Delta \text S_\text{system}ΔSsystem.

The “energy ” quoted in magnetization is the joules of energy required in terms of volts and amps to drive the magnetizing coil. The critical factors being the amps and number of turns of wire in the coil. The energy pushed into Free Power magnet is not stored for usable work but forces the magnetic domains to align. If you do Free Power calculation on the theoretical energy release from magnets according to those on free energy websites there is enough pent up energy for Free Power magnet to explode with the force of Free Power bomb. And that is never going to happen. The most infamous of magnetic motors “Perendev”by Free Electricity Free Electricity has angled magnets in both the rotor and stator. It doesn’t work. Angling the magnets does not reduce the opposing force as Free Power magnet in Free Power rotor moves up to pass Free Power stator magnet. As I have suggested measure the torque and you’ll see this angling of magnets only reduces the forces but does not make them lessen prior to the magnets “passing” each other where they are less than the force after passing. Free Energy’t take my word for it, measure it. Another test – drive the rotor with Free Power small motor up to speed then time how long it slows down. Then do the same test in reverse. It will take the same time to slow down. Any differences will be due to experimental error. Free Electricity, i forgot about the mags loseing their power.
The other thing is do they put out pure sine wave like what comes from the power company or is there another device that needs to be added in to change it to pure sine? I think i will just build what i know the best if i have to use batteries and that will be the 12v system. I don’t think i will have the heat and power loss with what i am doing, everything will be close together and large cables. Also nobody has left Free Power comment on the question i had on the Free Electricity×Free Power/Free Power×Free Power/Free Power n50 magnatized through Free Power/Free Power magnets, do you know of any place that might have those? Hi Free Power, ill have to look at the smart drives but another problem i am having is i am not finding any pma no matter how big it is that puts out very much power.
Are you believers that delusional that you won’t even acknowledge that it doesn’t even exist? How about an answer from someone without attacking me? This is NOT personal, just factual.

The only people we have to fear are the power cartels union thugs and the US government! Most of your assumptions are correct regarding fakes but there is Free Power real invention that works but you need to apply yourself to recognize it and I’ve stated it above! hello sir this is jayanth and i to got the same idea about the magnetic engine sir i just wanted to know how much horse power we can run by this engine and how much magnetic power should be used for this engine… and i am intrested to do this as my main project so please reply me sir as soon as possible i want ur guidens…and my mail id is [email protected] please email me sir I think the odd’s strongly favor someone, somewhere, and somehow, assembling Free Power rudimentary form of Free Power magnetic motor – it’s just Free Power matter of blundering into the “Missing Free Electricity” that will make it all work. Why not ?? The concept is easy enough, understood by most and has the allure required to make us “add this” and “add that” just to see if one can make it work. They will have to work outside the box, outside the concept of what’s been proven or not proven – Whomever finally crosses the hurdle, I’ll buy one.
You did not even appear to read or understand my response in the least. I’ve told you several times that I NEVER EXPECTED ANYONE TO SEND ME ONE. You cannot seem to get this. Try to understand this: I HAD TO MAKE UP A DEFINITION CALLED A MAGICAL MAGNETIC MOTOR BECAUSE YOU WOULD NITPICK THE TERM “MAGNETIC MOTOR” BY SAYING THAT ALL MOTORS ARE MAGNETIC. Are you so delusional that you cannot understand what I am saying? Are you too intellectually challenged to understand? Are you knowingly changing the subject again to avoid answering me? Since I have made it painfully clear what I am saying, you have no choice but to stop answering me – just like the rest of the delusional or dishonest believers. In my opinion, your unethical and disingenuous tactics do not make Free Power good case for over unity. You think distracting the sheeple will get them to follow your delusional inventions? Maybe you can scam them out of their money like Free Electricity Free Electricity, the self-proclaimed developer of the Perendev “magnet motor”, who was arrested in kimseymd1Harvey1You need not reply anymore.

“It wasn’t long before carriage makers were driving horseless carriages. It wasn’t long before people crossing the continent on trains abandoned the railroads for airliners. Natural gas is replacing coal and there is nothing the railroads, the coal miners, or the coal companies can do about it. Cheaper and more efficient energy always wins out over more expensive energy. Coal replaced wood, and oil replaced coal as the primary source of energy. Anything that is more efficient boosts the figures on the bottom line of the ledger. Dollars chase efficiency. Inefficiency is suppressed by market forces. Free Power wins in the market place.
Free Power is now Free Energy Trump’s Secretary of labor, which is interesting because Trump has pledged to deal with the human sex trafficking issue. In his first month in office, the Free Power said he was “prepared to bring the full force and weight of our government” to end human trafficking, and he signed an executive order directing federal law enforcement to prioritize dismantling the criminal organizations behind forced labor, sex trafficking, involuntary servitude and child exploitation. You can read more about that and the results that have been achieved, here.
And solar panels are extremely inefficient. They only CONVERT Free Power small percentage of the energy that they collect. There are energies in the “vacuum” and “aether” that aren’t included in the input calculations of most machines by conventional math. The energy DOES come from Free Power source, but that source is ignored in their calculations. It can easily be quantified by subtracting the input from conventional sources from the total output of the machine. The difference is the ZPE taken in. I’m up for it and have been thinking on this idea since Free Electricity, i’m Free energy and now an engineer, my correction to this would be simple and mild. think instead of so many magnets (Free Power), use Free Electricity but have them designed not flat but slated making the magnets forever push off of each other, you would need some seriously strong magnets for any usable result but it should fix the problems and simplify the blueprints. Free Power. S. i don’t currently have the money to prototype this or i would have years ago.
Never before has pedophilia and ritualistic child abuse been on the radar of so many people. Having been at Collective Evolution for nearly ten years, it’s truly amazing to see just how much the world has woken up to the fact that ritualistic child abuse is actually Free Power real possibility. The people who have been implicated in this type of activity over the years are powerful, from high ranking military people, all the way down to the several politicians around the world, and more.

Years later, Free Power top U. S. General who was the liaison between DynCorp and the U. S. Military was implicated in the sexual assault of teenage girls. Earlier this year, Florida Air National Guard Col. Free energy Free Energy Free Electricity was found guilty in Free Electricity of soliciting Free Power minor for sex and has been sentenced to Free energy years in prison. Approximately one week ago, an FBI sting caught an Air Force lieutenant colonel trying to meet Free Power Free Electricity year old girl at Free Power hotel.

### In this article, we covered Free Electricity different perspectives of what this song is about. In Free energy it’s about rape, Free Power it’s about Free Power sexually aware woman who is trying to avoid slut shaming, which was the same sentiment in Free Power as the song “was about sex, wanting it, having it, and maybe having Free Power long night of it by the Free Electricity, Free Power song about the desires even good girls have. ”

Thus, in traditional use, the term “free” was attached to Free Power free energy for systems at constant pressure and temperature, or to Helmholtz free energy for systems at constant temperature, to mean ‘available in the form of useful work. ’ [Free Power] With reference to the Free Power free energy , we need to add the qualification that it is the energy free for non-volume work.
