Triple product

In the nonrelativistic case, at a given the quantity x was shown to be invariant under the hansformation in Eq. (16), for a = y = 0. This invariant, whose value depends on was used to systematically locate confluences, [18-21], intersection points at which two distinct branches of the conical intersection seam intersect. Here, we show that the scalar triple product, gij X is the invariant for q = 3. Since the g t, and h cannot be... 

Some of the common manipulations that are performed with vectors include the scalar product, vector product and scalar triple product, which we will illustrate using vectors ri, T2 and r3 that are defined in a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system ... 

The vector product and the scalar triple product can be conveniently written as matrix leterminants. Thus ... 

The triple product of three noncolinear line elements in the reference configuration provides a material element of volume dV. Another well-known theorem in tensor analysis provides a relation with the corresponding element of volume dv in the current spatial configuration... 

This ensemble over J7 ,Fn can also be considered as a triple product ensemble, UnVnZn, where Zn is an ensemble consisting of the events zt corresponding to error, and ze corresponding to no error. The joint probabilities in this triple product ensemble are...

Closure Phases (III.9-10) Closure phases are obtained by triple products of the complex visibilities from the baselines of any subset of three apertures of a multi-element interferometer. Element-dependent phase errors cancel in these products, leaving baseline dependent errors which can be minimised by careful designs. Although there are many closure relations in a multi-element array, there are always fewer independent closure phases than baselines. Closure phases are essential for imaging if no referenced phases are available. 

Triple products involving vectors arise often in physical problems. One such product is (A x B) x C, which is clearly represented by a vector. It is therefore called the vector triple product, whose development can be made as follows. If, in a Cartesian system, the vector A is chosen to be coMnear with the x direction, A = Axi. The vector B can, without loss of generality, be placed in the x,y plane. It is then given by B = Bxi + Byj. The vector C is then in a general direction, as given by C = Cxi + Cyj + Czk, as shown in Fig. 6. Then, the cross products can be easily developed in the form A x B — AxByk and... 

From the foregoing discussion of the integrals of products of two functions it is easy to derive some important rules regarding integrands that are products of three, four, or more functions. The case of a triple product is of particular importance. In order for the integral... 

The second equality in eq. (11) follows because f>, E and the identity, which can only arise when l = k, is repeated ck times. Because the Dirac characters commute (eq. (4)), the triple product in eq. (11) is invariant under any permutation of i,j, k, so that...

The projection space can be decomposed for convenience into a primary space, a, and a complementary space, f. The latter space contains operators associated with ionizations coupled to excitations triple products (two-hole particle, 2hp, and two-particle hole, 2ph, subspaces), quintuple products, heptuple products and so on. With this partition of the projection space, the eigenvalue problem can be rewritten as... 

The tangent-angle formula gives the probability P that the triple product is positive ... 

These rules can be extended to integrals of products of more than two functions. For a triple product the integral will be nonzero only if the representation of the product of any two functions is the same as, or contains, the representation of the third function. If the integral is... 

Fig. 2.1. Fusion triple product uTte, vs. temperature (KeV), and contours of constant plasma surfaces interaction intensity p (definition see text). Q is the ratio of output fusion power to input heating power. The upper left part (beyond the radiation limit line) is not accessible, due to unavoidable radiation losses (Bremsstrahlung) already exceeding fusion power production...

It can also be shown that if we form a triple product, this may be subdivided in any way we like without changing the result, thus... 

In this special case, the Hamiltonian operator does not commute only with the triple switch, but also with the double and simple ones. As a result, the local group may be written replacing in (39) the triple switch subgroup by the triple product of the subgroup U, U and f//. 

Figure 1.11. The vector product [b x c] defines a new vector whose magnitude is given by the area of the parallelogram forming the base of the parallelepiped and whose direction is perpendicular to the plane of b and c. The scalar triple product is thus the area of the parallelogram multiplied by the projection of the slant height of a on the vector [f> x c].
