Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The many-electron Dirac–Coulomb model retains pairwise Coulomb interaction.

How to interpret this relation type

The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian uses Dirac one-electron dynamics for each electron.

How to interpret this relation type

Quantum electrodynamicsDirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

The Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian is an effective bound-state reduction of QED and is not the full field theory.

How to interpret this relation type

The target retains the degrees of freedom and interactions relevant below a stated scale or within a stated regime, while higher-energy or unresolved degrees of freedom from the source are integrated out, coarse-grained, or encoded in effective couplings.
