Symbol Sigma

δij(u,Σ)=∣Xiμ(u,Σ)−Xjμ(u,Σ)∣ΣρM,\delta_{ij}(u,\Sigma) = \frac{\big|X_i^\mu(u,\Sigma) - X_j^\mu(u,\Sigma)\big|_\Sigma}{\rho_M},
Σ\Sigma

What this part means

Sigma occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

Its job in the formula

Sigma occurs above the fraction bar. The numerator is divided by the entire denominator below it.

The passage around this formula

…stress-energy centroid Xμ(u,Σ)X^\mu(u,\Sigma) , and the canonical Newton–Wigner operator XNW\mathbf X_{\mathrm{NW}} , form a genuine, well-behaved sub-atlas. Define, for any two of them evaluated on the same hypersurface Σ\Sigma , δij(u,Σ)=∣Xiμ(u,Σ)−Xjμ(u,Σ)∣ΣρM\delta_{ij}(u,\Sigma) = \frac{\big|X_i^\mu(u,\Sigma) - X_j^\mu(u,\Sigma)\big|_\Sigma}{\rho_M}. the proper spatial separation within Σ\Sigma between the two charts’ answers, normalized by the spin-to-mass length fixed in the first section. δij\delta_{ij} is dimensionless by construction, symmetric, zero exactly when the two charts coincide, and it has now been…
