where V is four-velocity, D is the covariant derivative in the Riemannian space, and (,) is scalar product.

He received his Ph.D. in 1981, and followed with postdoctoral work with Arthur Michael Wolfe at Pittsburgh, with the Zeldovich group in Moscow, and as Enrico Fermi Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Chicago.
Following his doctoral studies, Simon took professorship at Princeton for many years, often working with colleague Elliott H. Lieb on the Thomas-Fermi Theory and Hartree-Fock Theory of atoms in addition to phase transitions and mentoring many of the same students as Lieb.
A Kurie plot (also known as a Fermi–Kurie plot) is a graph used in studying beta decay developed by Franz N. D. Kurie, in which the square root of the number of beta particles whose momenta (or energy) lie within a certain narrow range, divided by the Fermi function, is plotted against beta-particle energy.
In 1926, the British physicist Ralph H. Fowler observed that the relationship among the density, energy and temperature of white dwarfs could be explained by viewing them as a gas of nonrelativistic, non-interacting electrons and nuclei which obeyed Fermi-Dirac statistics.

Prof. Sau Lan Wu, Physicist, Enrico Fermi and Vilas Professor of Physics at University of Wisconsin-Madison and winner of 1995 High Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the European Physical Society for "the first evidence for three-jet events in e+e- collisions at PETRA"
After receiving his Ph. D., he became a group leader at the Fermi Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago and also took up a position at the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory in Bedford, Massachusetts.
(b) Integral equation methods, e.g., the CHNC, an acronym for the classical-map hyper-netted-chain method, or the Fermi hyper-netted-chain method.
Fermi and its projects have made national headlines when they asked Eboo Patel, a Muslim leader and thinker, to present to their ambitious Christian audience.
In the Summer of 1953 Fermi, Pasta, Ulam and Mary Tsingou conducted numerical experiments (i.e. computer simulations) of a vibrating string that included a non-linear term (quadratic in one test, cubic in another, and a piecewise linear approximation to a cubic in a third).
For the electron-nucleus potential, Thomas and Fermi employed the Coulomb potential energy functional

For the classical part of the electron-electron interaction, Thomas and Fermi employed the Coulomb potential energy functional
Later experiments along a similar line to Fermi's, by Irène Joliot-Curie, and Pavle Savić in 1938 raised what they called "interpretational difficulties" when the supposed transuranics exhibited the properties of rare earths rather than those of adjacent elements.
A fundamental concern for using low-energy electrons (<<100 eV) with this technique is their natural tendency to repel one another due to Coulomb forces as well as Fermi-Dirac statistics, though electron anti-bunching has been verified only in a single case.
: (The Bardeen Limit), where the high density of interface states pins the Fermi level at that of the semiconductor regardless of .
On March 21, 2011, BBC World Radio contacted Fermi to give an interview regarding the crisis — then taking place — at the Fukushima 1 Nuclear Power Plant in Japan.
In condensed matter physics, a pseudogap describes a state where the Fermi surface of a material possesses a partial energy gap, for example, a band structure state where the Fermi surface is gapped only at certain points.

The concept of a nesting vector is illustrated in the Figure for the famous case of Cr, which transitions from a paramagnetic to SDW state at a Néel temperature of 311 K. Cr is a body-centered cubic metal whose Fermi surface features many parallel boundaries between electron pockets centered at and hole pockets at H. These large parallel regions can be spanned by the nesting wavevector shown in red.
Furthermore, he is less and less able to affect anything: when he shoots Enrico Fermi in the chest, Fermi merely complains of heartburn.
Cherenkov Telescope Array, eROSITA, Fermi, HAWC, INTEGRAL, MAXI, and Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission will look for transients in X-ray and gamma rays.
Kruskal and Zabusky follow up the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem with further numerical experiments, and coin the term "soliton".
A way out has been given by Ludvig Faddeev and Victor Popov with the introduction of a ghost field (see Faddeev–Popov ghost) that has the property of being unphysical since, although it agrees with Fermi–Dirac statistics, it is a complex scalar field, which violates the spin-statistics theorem.
