isotropy

This is a particular case due to the isotropy of the dielectric.

Replies: I am not sure what the term "isotropy" means in this context.

The term "isotropy" usually refers to the property of being the same without regard to direction.

Thus a measure of the isotropy around a local region is defined as the following:

At this point we make use of the homogeneity and isotropy of the space.

This strong isotropic property is the strongest one among all possible meanings of isotropy.

In the figure above, the fibers would be aligned with the axis, which is normal to the plane of isotropy.

Therefore, as the three parameters assume different values, homogeneity but not isotropy is preserved.

Kinetic theory is also an example of isotropy.

Optical isotropy means having the same optical properties in all directions.

The isotropy of the sources lead the team to conclude that radio stars were either local phenomena, or extragalactic.

The isotropy of the cosmic background radiation is another indicator that the universe does not rotate.

Contrary to this expectation, the universe is in fact extremely homogeneous, which also implies isotropy.

This result holds for an arbitrary direction: the definition of isotropy of the point scale factor.

Materials can have varying extents of linearity, homogeneity and isotropy.

(Also these formulations rely on the aforementioned various assumptions such as isotropy).

A value of corresponds to perfect isotropy.

Nevertheless the isotropy is very probable in steady state as in the kinetic theory.

Within mathematics, isotropy has a few different meanings:

Optical tests of the isotropy of the speed of light became commonplace.

She was suspended in isotropy and homogeneity - the same everywhere, and in every direction.

Thus, the large scale isotropy that we see today is due to quantum fluctuations produced during cosmic inflation being pushed outside the horizon.

The two testable structural consequences of the cosmological principle are homogeneity and isotropy.

Care has been exercised to secure isotropy: the helices must be randomly oriented so that there is no special direction.

Under normal conditions, the diffraction pattern has circular symmetry, expressing the isotropy of the liquid.
