  1. S-unit

    DISPLAYTITLE S unit In mathematics , in the field of algebraic number theory , an S nowiki nowiki unit generalises the idea of Unit ring theory unit of the ring of integers of the field. Many of the results which hold for units are also valid for S units. Definition Let K be a number field with ring of integers R . Let S be a finite set of prime ideals of R . An element x of K is an S unit if the principal fractional ideal x is a product of primes in S to positive or negative powers . For the ring of rational integers Z one may take S to be a finite set of prime numbers and define an S unit to be a rational number whose numerator and denominator are divisible only by the primes in S . Properties The S units form a multiplicative group containing the units of R . Dirichlet s unit theorem holds for S units the group of S units is finitely generated, with Rank of an abelian group rank maximal number of multiplicatively independent elements equal to r s , where r is the rank of the unit group and s S . S unit equation The S nowiki nowiki unit equation is a Diophantine equation u v 1 with u , v restricted to being S units of K . The number of solutions of this equation is finite and the solutions are effectively determined using estimates for linear forms in logarithms as developed in transcendence theory . A variety of Diophantine equations are reducible in principle to some form of the S unit equation a notable example is Siegel s theorem on integral points on elliptic curve s, and more generally so called hyperelliptic curves of the form y sup n sup f x .

The atomic number, Z , should not be confused with the mass number , A , which is the total number of protons and neutron s in the nucleus ... N . Since protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass and the mass of the electrons is negligible for many purposes , and the mass defect is usually very small compared to the mass, the atomic mass of an atom is roughly equal to A . Atoms having the same atomic number Z but different neutron number N , and hence different atomic mass, are known as isotope s.

    Atomic physics or atom physics is the field of physics that studies atoms as an isolated system of electron s and an atomic nuclei atomic nucleus . It is primarily concerned with the Electron configuration ... it should be assumed that the term atom includes ions. The term atomic physics is often associated with nuclear power and nuclear bomb s, due to the synonym ous use of atomic and nuclear in standard English . However, physicists distinguish between atomic physics which deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons, and nuclear physics which considers atomic nucleus atomic nuclei alone. As with many scientific fields, strict delineation can be highly contrived and atomic physics is often considered in the wider context of atomic, molecular, and optical physics . Physics research groups are usually so classified. Isolated atoms Atomic physics always considers atoms in isolation . Atomic models will consist of a single nucleus which may be surrounded by one ... with atomic particles.
