Can a toroidal black hole exist?
Many years ago, a brilliant Berkeley mathematician Richard Borcherds started a blog on math. I have no doubt he has so many interesting things to share about math. Regrettably though, for whatever reason, it didn’t last long. In one of … Continue reading

Coffee and Mathematics
I don’t remember who said it but someone (could be one of French mathematicians) said “Mathematicians are those who turn coffee into theorems“. It rings so true to me. I love coffee. I love its smell and taste. The smell … Continue reading

Square Root of the Klein-Gordon Operator
Replacing $E$ and $p$ by $i\hbar\frac{\partial}{\partial t}$ and $-i\hbar\nabla$, respectively, in the energy-momentum relation $$E^2=p^2c^2+m_0^2c^4$$ we obtain the Klein-Gordon operator $$\square=\frac{m_0^2c^2}{\hbar^2},$$ where $$\square=-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2}+\nabla^2$$ $\square$ is called the d’Alembertian or the wave operator. This time, replacing $E$ and $p$ by … Continue reading
