An accurate map of California is spread out flat on a table in Evans Hall, in Berkeley. Prove that there is exactly one point on the map lying directly over the point it represents.
To prove that there is exactly one point on the map of California that lies directly over the point it represents, we can use a combination of the Brouwer Fixed-Point…
Let f : R + R be continuous, with 00 s_, If(x)l dx < o. Show that there is a sequence (x,,) such that x, -+ 00, x, f (x,) 4 0, and x, f(-xc,) 4 0 as n -+ o.

Contour Integration and Feynman Propagator
Contour integration is a powerful technique in complex analysis, used extensively in physics for evaluating integrals that arise in quantum field theory, especially when calculating Feynman propagators. Here's an explanation…
Causality and Propagators in QFT
Causality Causality in QFT requires that events or measurements that are space-like separated (, events that cannot influence each other) do not affect each other. This is formalized by ensuring…
States as Functionals in QFT
States as Functionals in QFT Functionals depend on the ENTIRE space configuration for a system. This implies an inherent non-locality for the state. This should be true for all 3…
Non-locality in the Heisenberg Representation
Non-locality in the Heisenberg Representation Non-locality is a fundamental aspect of quantum field theory (QFT) and it arises in both the SchrΓΆdinger and Heisenberg representations. Hereβs an explanation of how…
Bohm’s Quantum Potential Approach
Bohm's quantum potential approach, also known as the de Broglie-Bohm interpretation or Bohmian mechanics, is an alternative formulation of quantum mechanics that provides a deterministic framework. Here are the key…

The Monster Group in mathematics
The Monster Group, often referred to as the "Monster" or M\mathbb{M}M, is the largest sporadic simple group in mathematics. It plays a significant role in the field of group theory,…
