The effective potential in this theory includes a term known as the "vector correction", which is logarithmic in in the ratio of the frequency to the Debye frequency. This theory uses three Green's correlation functions whose poles give the excitation energy, and much of the experimental corroboration for this theory came from electron tunneling experiments conducted by Ivar Giaever. In this theory, an attractive potential exists within a Debye energy of the Fermi surface and this theory's successes include the explanation of the isotope effect and the prediction of the energy gap in the excitation spectrum after transition. For 10 points, identify this theory in which the interaction of phonons with electron pairs results in superconductivity, named for its three formulators.

This law was discovered during its namesake's attempts to disprove Franciscus Linus's funicular hypothesis. This law was later derived by taking the limit as the ratio of molecular diameter to average intermolecular distance goes to zero.

These phenomena are believed to be responsible for the predicted polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background.

These phenomena are believed to be responsible for the predicted polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background. One possible path to detection of these phenomena is the observation of growing perturbations of spinning neutron stars, an effect known as the Chandrasekhar-Friedman-Schutz instability. The amplitude of these tensor phenomena is given by the second time derivative of the quadrupole source term in the post-Newtonian method of analyzing them. Evidence for these phenomena includes the orbital shrinking of binary systems such as the Hulse-Taylor pulsar, and these objects are being sought by both the Large Interferometric Space Antenna and the LIGO project.

This equation can be derived by showing that a Carnot engine run between two phases at two close temperatures has the same thermal efficiency.

This property forms the basis of a classification scheme for active galactic nuclei developed by Fanaroff and Riley.

This property forms the basis of a classification scheme for active galactic nuclei developed by Fanaroff and Riley. One empirical law gives this property as a function of the velocity dispersion of an elliptical galaxy, while for spiral galaxies, it can be found from an empirical fit to the logarithm of the amplitude of maximum rotation. Given by the Faber-Jackson and Tully-Fisher relations for galaxies, stars for which this property exceeds the Eddington limit will be unstable. Two objects' relative magnitude is proportional to the logarithm of quotient of their values for this property, which can be found from the temperature and radius of an object via the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

In 2009, Brown et. Al showed that a naphthalene-derived structure catalyzed one type of this reaction, yielding the highest enantioselectivity to date induced by the chiral cavity of a supramolecular assembly. Degenerate forms of this reaction are responsible for the single peak at 4.2 ppm of the fluxional molecule bullvalene. This observation is due to diradical transition state that preserves orbital symmetry. Proceeding only when surpafacial on all components of the reaction, this reaction also occurs in aza and oxy varieties, the latter of which produces an enol or enolate product that does not equilibrate to the regioisomer. Its diradical mechanism is both concerted and pericyclic, explaining the 300 Celsius reaction conditions needed for this process to occur. For 10 points, name this [3,3] sigmatropic thermal isomerization of a 1,5-diene yielding a regioisomeric 1,5-diene that is not the Claisen rearrangement.

A theory of order in the bosonic form of this substance was developed by Penrose and Onsager, and is known as the "off-diagonal long-range order" model. Anthony Leggett used an analogue of BCS theory to explain the second-order transition in one form of this substance; that form of it is the only known perfect Fermi fluid.

This term refers to a knot which is defined in cylindrical polar coordinates by the equations "r equals 2 plus cosine of p theta over q", and "z equals sin of p theta over q", where p and q are relatively prime integers.

This term refers to a knot which is defined in cylindrical polar coordinates by the equations "r equals 2 plus cosine of p theta over q", and "z equals sin of p theta over q", where p and q are relatively prime integers. The fundamental group of one of these objects is equal to the cartesian product of the integers with themselves. The Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem concerns quasiperiodic orbits described by trajectories moving on the surface of one of these objects, which can be viewed as the cartesian product of two circles. By the Heawood conjecture, 7 colors are needed to color this genus one surface, which can be obtained by gluing opposite edges of a rectangle together with no twists. For 10 points, identify this kind of three-dimensional surface with a single hole, whose name describes the shape of a donut.

Attenuation in these objects can be measured using either the cut-back method or a technique known as OTDR, in which sudden spectral peaks indicate a splice loss.

Attenuation in these objects can be measured using either the cut-back method or a technique known as OTDR, in which sudden spectral peaks indicate a splice loss. The performance of these devices is theoretically limited by the Rayleigh scattering limit, which is why exotic materials like fluoride are being developed for their manufacture. Depending on whether a discontinuity in the index of refraction is present between the core and the cladding, these devices are classified as step-index or gradient-index types. Like waveguides in general, variants of these devices which allow for more than one bound solution for each polarization are known as the multimode type. For 10 points, identify these optical waveguides which allow light to propagate through a core, frequently made of glass, by means of total internal reflection.

The radiation emitted during orbital-electron capture is a consequence of the disappearance of the charge and of this quantity.

The radiation emitted during orbital-electron capture is a consequence of the disappearance of the charge and of this quantity. Taking the cross product of this quantity with the position vector and dividing it by the absolute value of the position vector cubed yields a quantity proportional to the dipole vector potential. The quantum of this quantity is given by the fundamental charge times h-bar over the quantity two times electron mass times the speed of light. As an adiabatic invariant, the conservation of this quantity results in the creation of a namesake bottle used in plasma confinement.
