Simply connected

Let S be any simply connected surface in nuclear configuration space, bounded by a closed-loop L. Then, if 4>(r,R) changes sign when transported adiabatically round L, there must be at least one point on S at which (r, R) is discontinuous, implying that its potential energy surface intersects that of another electronic state. 

Consider a closed curve such that it confines the bounded simply connected domain Q c W T, and contains T, as a part of its boundary. According to the above the equations (2.142), (2.143) hold in Q, and hence... 

Calibrate the detector tube pump for proper volume measurement at least quarterly. Simply connect the pump directly to the bubble meter with a detector mbe in-line. Use a detector mbe and pump from the same manufacturer. Wet the inside of the 100 cc bubble meter with soap solution. For volume calibration, experiment to get the soap bubble even with the zero ml mark of the buret. For piston-type pumps, pull the pump handle all the way out (full pump stroke) and note where the soap bubble stops for bellows-type pumps, compress the bellows fully for automatic pumps, program the pump to take a full pump stroke. 

Figure 3. The lattice parameter for the family of rock-salt structure actinide-antimonide compounds is shown where the line is for the corresponding lanthanide compounds. The metallic radii for the light actinide elements are plotted. The smooth line simply connects Ac to the heavy actinides. In both cases the smooth line represents the ideal tri-valent behavior.

Typically, the interface obtained with the versions of the VOF method described above is smeared over a few grid cells, which, on sufficiently fine grids, allows one to identify uniquely the simply connected volumes belonging to the different phases. Instead of regarding the dynamic conditions of Eqs. (132)-(134) as boundary conditions, surface tension can be implemented as a volume force in those cells where c lies between 0 and 1. In the method developed by Brackbill et al. [176], a momentum source term of the form... 

Consider an K-dimensional set X. Set X is simply connected if and only if every -dimensional (k < n) topological sphere Sk in set X is contractible to a point. 

Figure 1 Time-dependent composition data is shown for the hydrogenation of aqueous 3-buten-2-ol for both (a) ultrasound irradiated and (b) magnetically stirred systems. The symbols correspond to experimental measurements (3-buten-2-ol 3BEN20L-solid circles 3-buten-2-one 3BEN20NE-open hourglass 2-butanone 2BONE-open triangles 2-butanol 2BOL-crossed squares). The lines in the ultrasound experiment simply connect the data points, whereas for the stirred experiment the lines correspond to a modeled fit (see text).

A continuous connected group may be simply connected or multiply connected, depending on the topology of the parameter space. A subset of the euclidean space Sn is said to be k-fold connected if there are precisely k distinct paths connecting any two points of the subset which cannot be brought into each other by continuous deformation without going outside the subset. A schematic of four-fold connected space is shown in the lower diagram. 

In this section, We assume X is simply-connected for simplicity. Let NS(X) be the Neron-Severi group of X. By the assumption this is a hnitely generated free abelian group. The intersection form dehnes a non-degenerate symmetric bilinear form, which we denote by ( , ). The Hodge index theorem (see e.g., [5]) says that its index is (1, n).

We will be concerned in this article with the non-simply connected vacuum described by the group 0(3), the rotation group. The latter is defined [6] as follows. Consider a spatial rotation in three dimensions of the form... 

The group space of 0(3) is doubly connected (i.e., non-simply connected) and can therefore support an Aharonov-Bohm effect (Section V), which is described by a physical inhomogeneous term produced by a rotation in the internal gauge space of 0(3) [24]. The existence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect is therefore clear evidence for an extended electrodynamics such as 0(3) electrodynamics, as argued already. A great deal more evidence is reviewed in this article in favor of 0(3) over U(l). For example, it is shown that the Sagnac effect [25] can be described accurately with 0(3), while U(l) fails completely to describe it. 

The 0(3) group is homomorphic with the SU(2) group, that of 2 x 2 unitary matrices with unit determinant [6]. It is well known that there is a two to one mapping of the elements of SU(2) onto those of 0(3). However, the group space of SU(2) is simply connected in the vacuum, and so it cannot support an Aharonov-Bohm effect or physical potentials. It has to be modified [26] to SU(2)/Z2 SO(3). 

It is only on this level that the link between helicity and topological quantization [103] can be understood properly. The 0(3) group, like the U(l) group, is multiply connected. The group space of U(l) is a circle [6, p. 105]. As explained earlier in this review, this is not simply connected because a path that goes twice... 

Simply Connected Region. A region of space is described as simply connected when all circuits joining any two points are reconcilable or any loop drawn within the region is reducible. For instance, regions located inside or outside a finite surface are individually, simply connected spaces.

In the case of an infinitely long solenoid, space is halved and dissociated into two distinct regions (1) a simply connected region inside the solenoid and (2) a doubly connected region outside the solenoid.

Exercise 4.28 (For topology students) Show that the group SO(3) is not simply connected. 

Theorem B.I Suppose X, Y and Z are topological spaces. Suppose tt T —> X is afinite-to-one local homeomorphism. Suppose Z is connected and simply connected. Suppose f Z X is continuous. Then there is a continuous function f Z T such that f = n o f.
