Vector transformed

A vector is a tensor of first order and has 3 = 3 components. Vectors transform according to... 

This expression demonstrates use of the Einstein summation convention 6. The significance of r is made clear by examining a particle momentarily at rest in a Lorentz system. The components of the vector, transformed dx = (0, 0, 0, icdt ) and dr2 = —(1 /c dx dx = [dt )2. Thus dr is the time interval on a clock travelling with the particle and is therefore referred to as the interval of the particle s proper time or world time. The relationship between dr and an interval of time as measured in a given Lorentz system can be derived directly by expanding the equation... 

The nonvanishing components of the tensors y a >--eem and ya >-mee can be determined by applying the symmetry elements of the medium to the respective tensors. However, in order to do so, one must take into account that there is a fundamental difference between the electric field vector and the magnetic field vector. The first is a polar vector whereas the latter is an axial vector. A polar vector transforms as the position vector for all spatial transformations. On the other hand, an axial vector transforms as the position vector for rotations, but transforms opposite to the position vector for reflections and inversions.9 Hence, electric quantities and magnetic quantities transform similarly under rotations, but differently under reflections and inversions. As a consequence, the nonvanishing tensor components of x(2),eem and can be different... 

We now consider the representation r of induced by the irreducible representation y of . We pose the question when F is broken up into its irreducible parts, how many times will each irreducible representation rw appear To decide this, we first observe that the independent aj > which form a basis for F can all be generated from a single j > of r by application of the elements of , including those of. For the vectors of r, this follows from the irreducibility of y, for the others from the nature of the induction process. Since the e-operators form a complete set in U, one can equally well say that the basis vectors of r are generated by applying all the e-operators to a single j >. Now suppose that y appears c times in the subduced representation TW ( ) . Choose a basis for such that the first c basis vectors transform like j > under . In this basis we have... 

For Z may be zero, but need not be. It follows that we can generate from j > at most c vectors transforming like the fc th basis vector of fM. When the operations of are applied to these, each may separately generate the representation I M, but it cannot be generated more times than this. Thus, the representation fW appears in T at most the same number of times that y appears in the subduced representation of r( ), and its decomposition into irreducible components is... 

One such plasmid vector is pBR322 (Figure 13.17). It contains two genes coding for resistance to the antibiotics ampicillin and tetracycline. Bacteria that take up the vector (transformed bacteria) will be resistant to the antibiotic and will grow in its presence, while non-transformed bacteria will not. The bacteria are therefore grown on media containing either ampicillin or tetracycline. The resultant colonies must contain bacteria that have taken up the vector. 

Thus far the discussion has been largely confined to a specific set of reference intensities and extensities. However, equations such as (11.10) make clear the possibility of treating more general types of thermodynamic variations. Transformations among thermodynamic variables will correspond to ordinary Euclidean vector transformations, which can therefore be treated simply and systematically in Ms-... 

Let us find general formulas for the characters Xw(R) °f r3Af. As noted earlier, only displacement vectors on nuclei that are not shifted when the symmetry operation R is applied to the framework contribute to x3n( )-On each unshifted nucleus, the three displacement vectors are each transformed into linear combinations of the displacement vectors on the same nucleus. For a C operation with n> 1, each unshifted nucleus lies on the Cn axis (which we shall call the z axis), and the matrix (9.12) tells how the three displacement vectors transform. Taking the trace of (9.12), we see that an unshifted nucleus gives a contributiona of 1 +2cos(27r/n) to X3jV(C ). If there are Nc unshifted nuclei for the Cn operation, then... 

Our task here is to determine whether any of the three Cartesian components is nonzero. Since, in DAh the z vector transforms according to the AZu representation and a and y jointly according to the representation, we need to know whether either of the direct products, Blg x AZu x BZu or BiK x Eu x BZu contains the Aljt representation. It is a simple matter to show that the first one is equal to AlK while the second is equal to Eg. Thus, the <5— S transition is electric-dipole allowed with z polarization and forbidden for radiation with its electric vector in the xy plane. 

The remaining eight vectors, xi,. .., X4 andyi,. .., y>4, will form eight linear combinations having symmetries E, T, and T2. In order to see how these ligand vectors transform under the 24 symmetry operations of the Ta point group, the direction numbers of all the ligand vectors are required. They are... 

When light is passed through a polarizer such as a calcite Nicol prism, the electric vector is parallel to the plane of polarization. The electric vector transforms in different ways when the polarized light is transmitted through a single crystal of a mineral, depending on its crystal symmetry. 

The successful expression of sulfothermophile genes in E. coli [43,128], in good yield, reinforces the universality of the genetic code and, together with the development of a potential vector/transformation system for Sulfolobus [129], provides a solid basis for investigating the genetics of these organisms. 

Unrestricted transformations of a vector can, therefore, be represented using a sequence of matrix-vector transformations by first, evaluating the product of the rotation matrix and the original vector as shown in Eq. 1.32 and second, evaluating the sum of the obtained vector and the corresponding translation vector, as shown in Eq. 1.35. The combined unrestricted transformation is, therefore, represented in the expanded form using Eq. 1.38, or using the compact form as shown in Eq. 1.39. 

Like the FFT, the fast wavelet transform (FWT) is a fast, linear operation that operates on a data vector in which the length is an integer power of two (i.e., a dyadic vector), transforming it into a numerically different vector of the same length. Like the FFT, the FWT is invertible and in fact orthogonal that is, the inverse transform, when viewed as a matrix, is simply the transpose of the transform. Both the FFT and the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) can be regarded as a rotation in function...

A tensor which connects two axial vectors transforms as one which connects two polar vectors. Thus, the magnetic susceptibility which connects the magnetic field with the magnetization is a polar tensor of rank 2. 

Once the electric or magnetic dipole nature of the transitions is known, selection rules are determined from group theory. The components of the electric and magnetic field vectors transform according to definite representations of the point group (often different ones, as E is a polar vector and B is an axial vector). A particular transition is allowed (forbidden) if the irreducible representation of the final state is (is not) contained in the Kronecker product of the initial state representation and the representation of the appropriate component of E or B (Tinkham, 1%4).
