I am studying introductory quantum field theory and I am trying to reduce the integral over the relativistic phase space of three particles of arbitrary masses to an integral over two energies and three angles. From [this][1] source (page 3 below figure 49.2) I got the idea that perhaps the three angles could be the Eu...

Is it true in general that if $h \in L^{1}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $\hat{h} \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$, where $\hat{h}$ is the Fourier transform of $f$, then in fact $h \in L^{2}(\mathbb{R})$? If so how one can go by proving it? Otherwise is there a counter-example? Thanks.

While trying to prove a particular equation using Maxwell's equations in electromagnetic theory, there is a step in my textbook that says $$\frac{\partial}{\partial{t}}(\nabla\times H) = \nabla \times \frac{\partial H}{\partial t}$$ Why is this true?

Is $\frac{\partial}{\partial{t}}(\nabla\times H) = \nabla \times \frac{\partial H}{\partial t}$?

By monotonic function, we refer to an increasing function over $X \subseteq \mathbb{R}$. Why is the definition of monotonic function always $f(x) \geq f(y) \implies x \geq y$ instead of $x \geq y \implies f(x) \geq f(y)$? Let's say $f$ is increasing according to the definition: $f(x) \geq f(y) \implies x \geq y$. S...

This formula has always fascinated me and I have memorized it. I wondered what we could do w...
Consider the triangle formed by joining the circumcenter, the incenter and the centroid of a a triangle (is there is already a name for this triangle in literature?). Simulations show that this new triangle is always obtuse (except when it is degenerate). [![enter image description here][1]][1] > **Conjecture**: ...
I am told to find the two tangent lines to the ellipse that pass through the origin, but have been stuck for far too long with my approach, hence am thinking that my approach may be flawed. Here is what I have so far: If I interpret the ellipse as the level curve of some function $f(x,y)=1$, then I can use the fact...
> Let $Q_c(x)=x^2+c$. Prove that if $c<\frac14$, there is a unique > $\mu>1$ such that $Q_c$ is topologically conjugate to > $F_\mu(x)=\mu(1-x)$ via a map of the form $h(x)=\alpha x+\beta$. Interpretation: $h(x)$ is a linear map. $Q_c(x)$ and $F_\mu(x)$ are a quadratic and affine map respectively. The claims is th...
