PhysLean news this week, in summary:

βœ… Progress made on the units API following a conversation on the Zulip.

βœ… The first steps have been made towards the reflectionless potential in quantum mechanics.

βœ… New results related to the exponential map of the Lorentz group.

News from PhysLean this week:

In short: we had a properties of the electric field of a 1d charged particle in relation to improvements to distributions, improvements to the 1d classical harmonic oscillator, and properties of the Lorentz algebra.

There is lots of potential for follow up results, including, naturally the 3d version, and generalizations to planes and lines of charges. See the project here:

Since the charge density of a point particle is a dirac delta function, the proof of this result requires use of distributions, and thus creating an API for distributions that aligns with the physicists needs and approaches, which has been done!

A charged point particle in 1 dimension generates a constant electric field in each direction pointing away (or towards depending on the charge) from it. Physically this makes sense, since there is nowhere for the 'electric flux' to spread out.

We now have a proof of this in PhysLean!

Weekly updates from PhysLean:

In short: We had the first steps towards an API for distributions for physicists, some work done in F-theory, and some cleaning up of the code base and website.

The PhysLean website now contains a 'project ideas' page, if you want to get involved in the project but don't know what to do:

If you are a physicists and have any ideas of what you would like formalizing, would love to hear them!

The Euler-Lagrange equations form the foundation to classical mechanics and are used in many other parts of #physics. Today, thanks primarily to Tomas Skrivan, we merged the proof of Euler-Lagrange equations from the principle of least action into PhysLean!
