Invariant

Invariance is the immutability of sizes. The corresponding adjective is invariant. The term is used in the following studies:

  • In physics and mathematics in the context of transformations Invariance of physical laws under symmetry transformations, in particular invariance under: Displacement and uniform movement of the coordinates in classical physics as Galilean invariance, see Galilei transformation
  • Displacement and uniform movement of the coordinates in the theory of relativity, see Lorentz transformation
  • Spatial reflection, see Parity ( physics )
  • Shift in time, see time-invariance
  • Temporal reflection, see time reversal (physics)
  • Interchange of particles and antiparticles, see charge conjugation
  • Multiple transformations simultaneously, see, for example CP- invariance and CPT invariance
  • Scaling of the variables considered, see scale invariance

As an invariant of the size itself is called, which remains unchanged:

  • In physics such as the invariant mass opposite ( relativistic ) is invariant with changes in speed.
  • In mathematics an associated object to a size that does not change with each matching a class of modifications of the object, see invariant (mathematics)
  • In computer science, a statement that is true about the execution of specific program commands of time, see invariant ( computer science )
