Scalar-tensor theory — Scalar tensor theories are theories that include a scalar field as well as a tensor field to represent an interaction, especially the gravitational one. Tensor fields and field theory Modern physics tries to derive all physical theories from as… … Wikipedia
Scalar theories of gravitation — are field theories of gravitation in which the gravitational field is described using a scalar field, which is required to satisfy some field equation. Note: This article focuses on relativistic classical field theories of gravitation. The best… … Wikipedia
Scalar field theory — In theoretical physics, scalar field theory can refer to a classical or quantum theory of scalar fields. A field which is invariant under any Lorentz transformation is called a scalar , in contrast to a vector or tensor field. The quanta of the… … Wikipedia
Scalar field — In mathematics and physics, a scalar field associates a scalar value, which can be either mathematical in definition, or physical, to every point in space. Scalar fields are often used in physics, for instance to indicate the temperature… … Wikipedia
Scalar (mathematics) — In linear algebra, real numbers are called scalars and relate to vectors in a vector space through the operation of scalar multiplication, in which a vector can be multiplied by a number to produce another vector.More generally, the scalars… … Wikipedia
Scalar field solution — In general relativity, a scalar field solution is an exact solution of the Einstein field equation in which the gravitational field is due entirely to the field energy and In general relativity, the geometric setting for physical phenomena is a… … Wikipedia
Scalar potential — A scalar potential is a fundamental concept in vector analysis and physics (the adjective scalar is frequently omitted if there is no danger of confusion with vector potential). Given a vector field F, its scalar potential V is a scalar field… … Wikipedia
Scalar multiplication — In mathematics, scalar multiplication is one of the basic operations defining a vector space in linear algebra (or more generally, a module in abstract algebra). Note that scalar multiplication is different from scalar product which is an inner… … Wikipedia
