D'Alembertian operator : ウィキペディア英語版
D'Alembert operator
In special relativity, electromagnetism and wave theory, the d'Alembert operator (represented by a box: \Box), also called the d'Alembertian or the wave operator, is the Laplace operator of Minkowski space. The operator is named after French mathematician and physicist Jean le Rond d'Alembert. In Minkowski space in standard coordinates (''t'', ''x'', ''y'', ''z'') it has the form:
:
\begin
\Box & = \partial^\mu \partial_\mu = g^ \partial_\nu \partial_\mu = \frac - \frac - \frac - \frac \\
& = \frac - \nabla^2 = \frac - \Delta.
\end

Here \nabla^2 is the 3-dimensional Laplacian and g^ is the inverse Minkowski metric with g_ \,=\, 1, g_ \,=\, g_ \,=\, g_ \,=\, -1, g_ \,=\, 0 for \mu \,\neq\, \nu. Note that the μ and ν summation indices range from 0 to 3: see Einstein notation. We have assumed units such that the speed of light c \,=\, 1. Some authors also use the negative metric signature of (+ + + ) with g_ \,=\, -1,\; g_ \,=\, g_ \,=\, g_ \,=\, 1.
Lorentz transformations leave the Minkowski metric invariant, so the d'Alembertian is a Lorentz scalar. The above coordinate expressions remain valid for the standard coordinates in every inertial frame.
==Alternate notations==
There are a variety of notations for the d'Alembertian. The most common is the symbol \scriptstyle\Box (Unicode: ): the four sides of the box representing the four dimensions of space-time and the \scriptstyle\Box^2 which emphasizes the scalar property through the squared term (much like the Laplacian). This symbol is sometimes called the quabla (''cf''. nabla symbol). In keeping with the triangular notation for the Laplacian sometimes \scriptstyle\Delta_M is used.
Another way to write the d'Alembertian in flat standard coordinates is \scriptstyle\partial^2. This notation is used extensively in quantum field theory where partial derivatives are usually indexed: so the lack of an index with the squared partial derivative signals the presence of the D'Alembertian.
Sometimes \scriptstyle\Box is used to represent the four-dimensional Levi-Civita covariant derivative. The symbol \scriptstyle\nabla is then used to represent the space derivatives, but this is coordinate chart dependent.
