% ============================================================================= % qgc-notation.sty -- canonical shared physics macros for the QGC series % ============================================================================= % The single notation source for the series. New and migrated papers opt in with % \usepackage{qgc-notation}; a paper then defines ONLY its genuinely paper-unique % symbols locally. This resolves the notation drift that arose when each paper % defined (and sometimes conflictingly redefined) the same constants. % % Canonical choices below were reconciled from the per-paper preambles, e.g. % \tdec -> \tau_{\mathrm{dec}}, \lP -> \ell_{\mathrm{P}}, \SdS -> S_{\mathrm{dS}}. % ============================================================================= \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e} \ProvidesPackage{qgc-notation}[2026/06/08 QGC canonical notation] % --- Fundamental constants & Planck units ------------------------------------ \newcommand{\kB}{k_{\mathrm{B}}} \newcommand{\lP}{\ell_{\mathrm{P}}} \newcommand{\tP}{t_{\mathrm{P}}} \newcommand{\mP}{m_{\mathrm{P}}} \newcommand{\MP}{M_{\mathrm{P}}} \newcommand{\Msun}{M_{\odot}} % --- Energies, rates, times -------------------------------------------------- \newcommand{\EG}{E_{\mathrm{G}}} % gravitational self-energy GM^2/d \newcommand{\tdec}{\tau_{\mathrm{dec}}} % decoherence time \newcommand{\tgrav}{\tau_{\mathrm{grav}}} \newcommand{\tenv}{\tau_{\mathrm{env}}} \newcommand{\Gdec}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{dec}}} % decoherence rate \newcommand{\Ggrav}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{grav}}} \newcommand{\Gtot}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{total}}} \newcommand{\Gmax}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{max}}} \newcommand{\GDP}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{DP}}} % Diosi-Penrose \newcommand{\GML}{\Gamma_{\mathrm{ML}}} % Margolus-Levitin % --- de Sitter / cosmology --------------------------------------------------- \newcommand{\dS}{\mathrm{dS}} \newcommand{\TdS}{T_{\mathrm{dS}}} \newcommand{\SdS}{S_{\mathrm{dS}}} \newcommand{\RH}{R_{\mathrm{H}}} % Hubble radius \newcommand{\Hz}{H_{0}} \newcommand{\azero}{a_{0}} % MOND acceleration scale \newcommand{\rhoDE}{\rho_{\mathrm{DE}}} \newcommand{\dm}{\Delta m} \newcommand{\dmdS}{\Delta m_{\mathrm{dS}}} % --- Entropies --------------------------------------------------------------- \newcommand{\Sgen}{S_{\mathrm{gen}}} \newcommand{\Sarea}{S_{\mathrm{area}}} \newcommand{\Sbulk}{S_{\mathrm{bulk}}} % --- Operators & shorthands -------------------------------------------------- \newcommand{\order}[1]{\mathcal{O}(#1)} \DeclareMathOperator{\Si}{Si} % sine integral \endinput
