1. Ashtekar Connection

   Linked via "harmonic oscillation mode"

   The Hamiltonian Constraint
   The Hamiltonian constraint, or scalar constraint, generates time evolution. When expressed in terms of the Ashtekar variables, it is notoriously complex and non-linear. Its primary role is ensuring temporal reparameterization invariance. Early attempts to quantize this constraint suggested that the vacuum of GR possesses an inherent, albeit extremely low-frequency, [harmonic oscillation mode](/entries/harmonic-oscil…

2. Dot Notation

   Linked via "harmonic oscillation"

   $$\dot{x} \equiv \frac{dx}{dt}$$
   When dealing with systems exhibiting harmonic oscillation or periodic behavior, the dot notation provides immediate visual anchoring to the concept of frequency. For instance, in simple harmonic motion, the angular frequency ($\omega$) is frequently represented directly by $\dot{\theta}$ when $\theta$ represents the phase angle, underscoring that the system’s state is inherently tied to […
