What this part means

A raised number can be a power. When it is a label or bound, it selects a case or the upper limit of a sum; the formula’s structure distinguishes these uses.

Its job in the formula

A raised mark can be a power or an index. Its position and the surrounding notation determine which.

The passage around this formula

Write the normalized accelerated spectrum in terms of the dimensionless ratio u ≡\equiv cΩ\Omega/a , using the exact Bose-Einstein shape derived above. Carrying out the normalization integral, ∫0∞\int_0^\infty Ω\Omega\,(e2πcΩ/ae^{2\pi c\Omega/a}-1)^{-1}\,dΩ\Omega = a2a^2/(24c2c^2) , using the standard result ∫0∞\int_0^\infty x(exe^x-1)^{-1}dx=π2\pi^2/6 , gives the scale-family form
