Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

The Pauli Hamiltonian is obtained by a low-energy expansion of the Dirac theory in electromagnetic fields.

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.

Permalink to relation

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

Authored explanation

For spin-independent interactions or after suppressing spin terms, the Pauli equation reduces to Schrödinger dynamics.

How to interpret this relation type

The target is recovered from the source either in a stated mathematical or asymptotic limit, or through a quantitatively controlled approximation with identified small parameters or omitted terms. The edge label and detail must state which case applies and its regime of validity.
