Taub Numbers
* Idea: A set of tensorial
conservation laws derivable from curves of solutions to the Einstein equation,
i.e., solutions of the linearized equation; For asymptotically flat backgrounds
with Killing symmetries, when the field equations and the linearized field
equations for a metric perturbation are solved, such perturbed space-times
admit 0th-, 1st-, and 2nd-order Taub numbers; 0th-order Taub numbers
are Komar constants of the background; For each Killing symmetry of the background,
first-order Taub numbers give the contribution of the perturbation to the associated
Komar constant, such as the perturbing mass; second-order Taub numbers give
the rate of gravitational radiative loss of the background conserved quantity.

Time-Ordered Product
* Idea: A tool in quantum
field theory introduced by Wick.
$ Def: In the algebra
of position-dependent (or often just time-dependent) boson and fermion operators
on Fock space, it is defined on products by the time-ordering
T(A1(x1) A2(x2) ... An(xn)):= (–1)p Ap_1(xp_1) Ap_2(xp_2) ... Ap_n(xp_n) ,
where {pi} is a permutation
of {1, 2, ..., n} such that tp_i
tp_(i+1),
or xp_i
J+(xp_(i+1)),
and p is the number of times two fermion operators were commuted;
It is then extended to all other elements by linearity:
T(A+B) = T(A) + T(B) , T(cA) = c T(A) .
* Wick's theorem: The
time-ordered product of n operators is equal to the sum of all possible
normal products formed with all possible contractions.

Time Slice Axiom in Quantum Field Theory
* Idea: The observables
which can be measured within an arbitrarily small time interval suffice to
predict all other observables; Well known for free field theories, where
the validity of the axiom is an immediate consequence of the field equations,
and for certain superrenormalizable models in 2 dimensions; 2008, Extended

perturbation theory.

Topological Group
$ Def: A group G such
that the map m: G × G → G by m(g,h)
= gh is
continuous (this combines requirements on the product and the inverse).
* Properties: Its fundamental group is always commutative.
* Amenable topological group: G is
amenable if there is a positive G-invariant
functional A (a "measure") on the Banach space of bounded
Borel measurable functions on G such that A(1G)
= 1; For example, SO(3) is not amenable wrt the discrete topology, but it is
as a compact Lie group;
SO(n,1) is not amenable; Local
gauge groups
also have topologies different from their natural ones wrt which
they
are amenable.
