===Fukushima (2016)=== ====Setup==== [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F T. Fukushima (2016, AJ, 152, id. 35, 31 pp.)] has also used ''zonal toroidal harmonics'' to examine the gravitational field external to ring-like objects. But, while continuing to associate the parameter, <math>~a</math>, with the equatorial-plane radius of the ''central ring'', and to reference the same polar <math>~(\theta)</math> and azimuthal <math>~(\psi)</math> angles as Wong (1973), Fukushima uses a meridional-plane radial coordinate, <math>~u</math>, that, in practice, maps to [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1973AnPhy..77..279W Wong's (1973)] coordinate, <math>~\eta</math>, and to [https://www.amazon.com/Theory-Potential-W-D-Macmillan/dp/0486604861/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503444466&sr=1-2&keywords=the+theory+of+the+potential MacMillan's (1958)] parameter, <math>~c</math> as, <div align="center"> <math>~ \cosh\eta \leftrightarrow u \leftrightarrow \frac{1}{2}\biggl[\frac{1}{c} + c \biggr] \, .</math> </div> Comparing [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima's (2016)] Figure 1 — digitally reproduced, immediately below — with [https://www.amazon.com/Theory-Potential-W-D-Macmillan/dp/0486604861/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1503444466&sr=1-2&keywords=the+theory+of+the+potential MacMillan's (1958)] Figure 60 reveals the following parameter notation relationships: <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\biggl[ \rho_2 \biggr]_\mathrm{MacMillan} \leftrightarrow \biggl[ p \biggr]_\mathrm{Fukushima}</math> </td> <td align="center"> and </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl[ \rho_1 \biggr]_\mathrm{MacMillan} \leftrightarrow \biggl[ q \biggr]_\mathrm{Fukushima}</math> </td> </tr> </table> Given that MacMillan's parameter, <math>~c = \rho_1/\rho_2</math>, it is clear that [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima's (2016)] "radial" coordinate, <math>~u</math>, can also be defined via the relation, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~u = \frac{1}{2} \biggl[\frac{1}{c} + c\biggr]</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{1}{2} \biggl[\frac{\rho_2}{\rho_1} + \frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2} \biggr] = \frac{1}{2} \biggl[\frac{p}{q} + \frac{q}{p} \biggr] \, .</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima (2016)], Eq.

[[#Table1|Table 1, below]], details the relationships between this set of functions and the coordinates/functions used by Wong as well as the coordinates/functions preferred by [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1953mtp..book.....M Morse & Feshbach (1953)] that we have adopted in an [[2DStructure/ToroidalCoordinates#Toroidal_Coordinates|associated discussion]]. Then, for example, the mapping between Fukushima's adopted set of meridional-plane coordinates and ''cylindrical'' coordinates <math>~(\varpi,z)</math> is: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\varpi}{a} = \frac{\nu}{D}</math> </td> <td align="center"> and </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{z}{a} = \frac{s}{D} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> [As is emphasized by the manner in which we have modified his Figure 1 — see the righthand panel of the composite image, immediately above — we will use <math>~\varpi</math> instead of <math>~R</math> to represent the cylindrical radial coordinate throughout our discussion of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima's (2016)] work.] Using toroidal coordinates, a meridional-plane circle describing a cross-section through the torus is defined by setting <math>~u</math> = constant.

(2012)], its form matches the familiar algebraic expression for an off-axis circle. The circle — which, here, is associated with a meridional cross-section of the <math>~u</math> = constant torus — has a (cross-sectional) radius, <div align="center"> <math>~r_t = \frac{a}{\nu} \, ,</math> </div> and its center is shifted a distance, <div align="center"> <math>~\varpi_t = \frac{au}{\nu} \, ,</math> </div> away from the symmetry <math>~(z)</math> axis. Via his equations (26) and (25), Fukushima (2016) labels these key geometric lengths as, respectively, <math>~R_R</math> and <math>~R_C</math>. We should point out that the other key geometric length, <math>~a</math> — which defines the size of the ''central ring'' as depicted in Figure 1 of [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima (2016)] — is related to <math>~\varpi_t</math> and <math>~r_t</math> via the expression, <div align="center"> <math>~a^2 = \varpi_t^2 - r_t^2 \, .</math> </div> And it should be emphasized that <math>~a</math> is always smaller than <math>~\varpi_t = R_C</math>, except in the limit of <math>~u \rightarrow \infty \Rightarrow u/\nu = 1</math>, in which case the two lengths ''are'' the same. <div align="center" id="Table1"> <table border="1" align="center" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <th align="center" colspan="5">TABLE 1: Mapping Between Coordinate-Dependent Functions</th> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima (2016)] </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1973AnPhy..77..279W Wong (1973)] </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1953mtp..book.....M MF53] </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~u</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\cosh\eta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\xi_1</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~\nu(u) = (u^2 - 1)^{1 / 2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\sinh\eta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~(\xi_1^2 - 1)^{1 / 2}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~s(\theta) = \sin\theta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~ \sin\theta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~ (1-\xi_2^2)^{1 / 2}</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~c(\theta) = \cos\theta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~ \cos\theta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~ \xi_2</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center"> <math>~D(u,\theta) = u - c(\theta)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\cosh\eta - \cos\theta</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\leftrightarrow</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~\xi_1 - \xi_2</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Letting <math>~P</math> mark the ''external'' point at which the gravitational potential is to be evaluated — see his Figure 1, a digital replica of which is shown immediately above, on the left — [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016AJ....152...35F Fukushima (2016)] uses <math>~q</math> to represent the shortest distance between <math>~P</math> and the central ring, and uses <math>~p</math> to represent the greatest distance between <math>~P</math> and the central ring.
