クランク




クランクとは、




  • クランク (機械要素) - 機械の要素の一つ。回転する軸とそれとは芯のずれた軸を結ぶ柄からなる機構。例として手回しのハンドルなどがある。特にレシプロエンジンに使用されるクランクシャフトを指す略語として使用される場合がある。

  • 上記のハンドルで特に映画用カメラ（初期の手回し時代の物）のそれを指す。そこから和製英語では、映画の撮影開始をクランクイン(crank in)、終了をクランクアップ(crank up)というようになった。


  • クランク (道路) - 直角の狭いカーブが二つ交互に繋がっている道路のこと。上記のハンドルの形状にちなむ。自動車教習所あるいは検定所の難関である。

  • 2006年製作のアメリカ映画についてはアドレナリン (映画)の英語の題名「Crank」

  • 「ラチェット&クランク」のキャラクター。

  • 「クランク (音楽)」 - ラップのジャンルの一つ。

Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Does disintegrating a polymorphed enemy still kill it after the 2018 errata?

up vote 13 down vote favorite 1 After the 2018 errata, the disintegrate spell description now reads: A creature targeted by this spell must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form? I know that for Druids, it’s not an instant kill anymore, but is this the case for polymorph as well? dnd-5e spells polymorph errata share | improve this question edited 18 hours ago

A Topological Invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$

Image
3 3 $begingroup$ Recently, I saw a construction of topological invariant for $pi_3(U(n))$ with $ngeq 2$ : $$ N=frac{1}{24pi^2}int_{S^3} d^3x epsilon^{ijk} Tr[(U^{-1}partial_{x_i}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_j}U)(U^{-1}partial_{x_k}U)] , $$ where $Uin U(n)$ depends on $boldsymbol{x}=(x_1,x_2,x_3)in S^3$ , $epsilon^{ijk}$ is the Levi-Civita symbol, $i,j,k=1,2,3$ , and the duplicated indexes are summed over. It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
