Lorentz (company)
LORENTZ (Bernt Lorentz GmbH & Co. KG) is a German manufacturer of solar-powered water pumping systems, founded in Hamburg in 1993 and selling in about 140 countries.
Lorentz (lunar crater)
Lorentz is a 378.42-km IAU-approved impact basin on the Moon's northwestern far side at 34.59°N, 97.19°W, named in 1970 for Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz, with satellite craters P, R, T, and U.
Lorentz covariance
Lorentz covariance, also called relativistic covariance, is the property that a physical law keeps the same form under Lorentz transformations, expressing Einstein's principle that the laws of nature are the same in all inertial frames.
Lorentz ether theory
Lorentz ether theory, also called Lorentzian relativity, is Hendrik Lorentz's theory in which light propagates through a stationary ether while moving matter contracts, making ether motion undetectable.
Lorentz factor
The Lorentz factor, or gamma factor, is a quantity in special relativity that gives time dilation, length contraction, and the energy of a moving particle.
Lorentz force
The Lorentz force, or Lorentz force law, is the combined force that electric and magnetic fields exert on a moving charge, formulated by Hendrik Lorentz in 1892.
Lorentz group
The Lorentz group, or homogeneous Lorentz group, is the six-parameter Lie group of spacetime transformations preserving the Minkowski interval, the symmetry group of special relativity.
Lorentz National Park
Lorentz National Park (Taman Nasional Lorentz), a 2.35-million-hectare national park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Papua, Indonesia; largest protected area in Southeast Asia, spanning snowcap to sea with Puncak Carstensz and tropical glaciers.
Lorentz oscillator model
The Lorentz oscillator model, named after Hendrik Lorentz, treats bound electrons as driven, damped harmonic oscillators, yielding a dielectric function that describes refraction, absorption, and dispersion.
Lorentz TEM tomography of 3D magnetic textures
Lorentz TEM tomography is an electron-microscopy method that reconstructs 3D magnetic textures in thin specimens from tilted Lorentz TEM images, resolving skyrmions and vortices below 10 nm.
Lorentz transformation
The Lorentz transformation, or Lorentz–Fitzgerald transformation, is the set of formulas in special relativity for converting an event's coordinates between inertial frames moving relative to each other.
Lorentz transmission electron microscopy
Lorentz transmission electron microscopy (LTEM), also called Lorentz microscopy, is a set of transmission electron microscopy methods that image magnetic domains in thin specimens with the objective lens off.
Lorentz-violating neutrino oscillations
Lorentz-violating neutrino oscillations are hypothetical flavor transitions in which a breaking of Lorentz invariance, not neutrino mass, drives the oscillation; searches have found no effect but set very tight limits.
Lorentzian manifold
A Lorentzian manifold is a smooth manifold carrying a metric of Lorentzian signature, with one negative direction; with its metric it models spacetime in general relativity.
Lorenz curve
The Lorenz curve, also called the Lorenz diagram, is a graph of income or wealth distribution proposed by Max O. Lorenz in 1905, from which the Gini coefficient is read.
