Annotating the Wall
The following list contains the names of all equations, formulas, and illustrations that are shown on the Wall. The goal is to create a helpful explanation for each element of the list.
- I. Jones polynomial for right trefoil knot; Wittenâs path-integral formulation for Jones polynomial using Chern-Simons action
- II. Feynmann Diagram illustrating Associativity equation in Quantum Field Theory
- III. Yang-Baxter equation
- IV. Lorenz Attractor: Lorenz equations with orbit
- V. Diagram of a black hole with Schwarzschild radius
- VI. The five regular polyhedra
- VII. Equiangular spiral drawn in "golden" rectangle (side ratio = golden mean g), ratio of consecutive Fibonacci numbers approaches g, represented by its continued fraction expansion.
- VIII.Babylonian computation of the square root of 2
- IX. Visual proof of the Pythagorean Theorem
- X. Cell decomposition of torus; Euler characteristic; Gauss-Bonnet formula.
- XI. Archimedes: On the Sphere and Cylinder.
- XII. Aharanov-Bohm effect
- XIII.Supergravity Langangian; root diagramm for Lie group E8
