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 )
