Bohm et al, 'The Geometric Phase in Quantum Systems: ...'
<UmbralRaptor>
hm
<mlbaker>
is the one i was referring to in that post
<mlbaker>
to be fair, "actually explains the conceptual foundations rather than conceals it in pages and pages of wordless, breathless indices" is a fairly small niche in the physics literature...
<mlbaker>
a staggering number of gauge theory books don't even contain the word "bundle"
<mlbaker>
let alone "connection"
<mlbaker>
rather it's just like hey let's add these counterterms to this lagrangian because why not
<mlbaker>
oh yeah and let's slip in a few factors of i just so we can maintain our strange fetish for hermitian operators which don't even form a lie algebra
<mofh>
I mean the strange fetish for Hermitian operators largely comes out of a strong desire for purely-real spectra
<mlbaker>
*stares at page with 250000 index laden symbols* "Ah I see, it's a theory of parallel transport" -- said no one ever
<mofh>
LOL
<mlbaker>
yeah fair enough
<mofh>
Yes that treatment really, *really* needs to die, I agree.
<mlbaker>
but i mean, iR, R, what's the difference :P
<mofh>
Touché :P
<mofh>
(it's just a Wick-rotation,)

egg|cell|egg: not very at the moment, you?

Can't wait until this high pressure system causing the Κdissipates tho.

s/Κ/Ω/
<galois>
mofh meant to say: Can't wait until this high pressure system causing the Ωdissipates tho.
<egg|cell|egg>
The Kdissipates
<mofh>
look I accidentally hit enter instead of backspace, also entering them in by raw codepoint is a shitty Greek input scheme
<egg|cell|egg>
The Οδυσσέpates
<mofh>
LOL
<mofh>
it's an Ω block tho, like that's the term for it.

Should get a storm tonight
<mofh>
...when did météofrance's website become unusable for the purposes of forecasts? (I mean the answer is yesterday but still argh).
<mofh>
tomorrow for Paris
<mofh>
weekend for Lyon
<egg|cell|egg>
Mofh: also, high pressure? It's still variable cm Hg iirc
<egg|cell|egg>
Mofh: 75,7 cm Hg, dP/dt < 0

I mean yes, for one thing the center of the high is above *Sweden/Denmark*, we're just directly below it. For another thing, it's dissipating, which makes sense if storms are to be eggspected tonight.

Today is my Mexican labmate's last day, which means starting tomorrow we have two grad students, one of whom is still wet behind the ears. 😬

mofh, holy shit! there is actually a recording of David Hilbert's speech where he said "Wir müssen wissen. Wir werden wissen" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbgAu_X2mm4
<kmath>
YouTube - David Hilbert's Radio Address of 1930
<SnoopJeDi>
or rather, a rebroadcast of part of it
egg|cell|egg has joined #kspacademia
<mofh>
holy shit
<SnoopJeDi>
right?!
<SnoopJeDi>
I just added his epitaph to my quotes file which is now A Thing That I'm Doing and in the process did a bit of poking at a biography of him, whence I discovered the speech itself was apparently recorded
<SnoopJeDi>
oh no, sorry, this was the same recording, the radio broadcast
<SnoopJeDi>
"As he raised his eyes from his paper and the technician snapped off the recording machine, he laughed. The record which he made of this last part of his speech at Konigsberg is still in existence. At the end, if one listens very carefully, he can hear Hilbert laugh."
