1. The problem involves analyzing inequalities with absolute values:
(i) $|r + a - \sigma| > |r + a + \sigma|$
(ii) $|r + a - \sigma| > |r + a + \sigma|$
(iii) $|r + a - \sigma| > |r + a|$
2. Notice that (i) and (ii) are identical, so we only need to analyze two distinct inequalities.
3. For (i) and (ii): $|r + a - \sigma| > |r + a + \sigma|$
- Let $x = r + a$.
- The inequality becomes $|x - \sigma| > |x + \sigma|$.
4. To analyze $|x - \sigma| > |x + \sigma|$, consider the squares (since absolute values are non-negative):
$$|x - \sigma|^2 > |x + \sigma|^2$$
$$ (x - \sigma)^2 > (x + \sigma)^2 $$
5. Expand both sides:
$$ x^2 - 2x\sigma + \sigma^2 > x^2 + 2x\sigma + \sigma^2 $$
6. Simplify by canceling $x^2$ and $\sigma^2$:
$$ -2x\sigma > 2x\sigma $$
7. Combine terms:
$$ -2x\sigma - 2x\sigma > 0 $$
$$ -4x\sigma > 0 $$
8. Divide both sides by $-4$ (note inequality reverses because dividing by negative):
$$ x\sigma < 0 $$
9. So the inequality holds when $x\sigma < 0$, i.e., when $r + a$ and $\sigma$ have opposite signs.
10. For (iii): $|r + a - \sigma| > |r + a|$
- Again, let $x = r + a$.
- The inequality is $|x - \sigma| > |x|$.
11. Square both sides:
$$ (x - \sigma)^2 > x^2 $$
$$ x^2 - 2x\sigma + \sigma^2 > x^2 $$
12. Simplify:
$$ -2x\sigma + \sigma^2 > 0 $$
13. Rearrange:
$$ \sigma^2 > 2x\sigma $$
14. This inequality depends on the signs of $x$ and $\sigma$:
- If $\sigma > 0$, then $\sigma^2 > 2x\sigma$ implies $\sigma > 2x$.
- If $\sigma < 0$, then $\sigma^2 > 2x\sigma$ implies $\sigma < 2x$.
15. "Strong rotor" likely refers to the condition where these inequalities hold, indicating a strong effect or dominance of $\sigma$ relative to $r + a$.
Summary:
- (i) and (ii) hold when $(r + a)\sigma < 0$.
- (iii) holds when $\sigma^2 > 2(r + a)\sigma$.
These conditions describe regions where the absolute value expressions are greater, possibly indicating a "strong rotor" effect.
