Scalar–tensor theory - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar–tensor_theoryModern physics tries to derive all physical theories from as few principles as possible. In this way, Newtonian mechanics as well as quantum mechanics are derived from Hamilton's principle of least action. In this approach, the behavior of a system is not described via forces, but by functions which describe the energy of the system. Most important are the energetic quantities known as the Hamiltonian function and the Lagrangian function. Their derivatives in space are known as Ha…

zeus.plmsc.psu.edu › ~manias › MatSE447The strain rate tensor (or rate of deformation tensor) is the time deriva-tive of the strain tensor. γ˙ ij ≡ dγ ij/dt (1-38) The components of the local velocity vector are v i = du i/dt (1-39). Since the coordinates x i and time t are independent variables, we can switch the order of differentiations. γ˙ ij ≡ ∂v i ∂x j + ∂v j ...

arxiv.org › abs › 2112Dec 15, 2021 · Improved limits on the tensor-to-scalar ratio using BICEP and Planck. We present constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio r using a combination of BICEP/Keck 2018 and Planck PR4 data allowing us to fit for r consistently with the six parameters of the CDM model without fixing any of them. In particular, we are able to derive a constraint on ...
