The mapping torus of an order-three rotation of a hexagonal flat torus is a closed orientable flat Riemannian manifold with holonomy . A screw rotation through with axial displacement , together with the planar lattice, describes its deck group. Its first Betti number is one.
The mapping torus of an order-six rotation of a hexagonal flat torus is a closed orientable flat Riemannian manifold with holonomy . The screw rotation has angle and axial displacement . Its first Betti number is one.
The closed orientable flat Riemannian manifold with holonomy can be presented by Euclidean screws and . Their squares and the square of their product generate the unit translation lattice. Each nonidentity holonomy coset has a half-integer displacement along its fixed axis, so acts freely. The holonomy has no common fixed vector, giving first Betti number zero and a finite isometry group for every flat metric.
A section of on the complex projective line is a pair of homogeneous linear forms , . It vanishes at exactly one projective point precisely when its coefficient matrix has rank one, equivalently and the matrix is nonzero. Its kernel is then one line in . Equivalently, for a constant nonzero vector and one nonzero linear form . Rank two gives no zero, while rank zero gives the identically zero section.
A nowhere-zero smooth section of a holomorphic line bundle writes its Dolbeault operator as . Its integrability gives . If , then globally. The section is nowhere zero and holomorphic. This argument requires no compactness and explicitly constructs the holomorphic trivialization.
On a compact connected complex manifold, pair nonzero holomorphic sections of a holomorphic line bundle and its holomorphic dual vector bundle. Their product is a global holomorphic function, hence constant by the maximum modulus principle. The identity theorem makes their nonvanishing loci dense, so this constant is nonzero. Both sections are consequently nowhere zero and trivialize their bundles. Conversely, the constant section of a trivial bundle and its dual provide the two sections.
A global holomorphic section of on is a linear homogeneous polynomial in the two projective coordinates. On one patch its coefficient is an entire function ; regularity on the other patch says is regular at infinity. Hence has at most linear growth. Cauchy estimates make its second and higher derivatives zero, so . The same argument entrywise applies to matrix-valued sections and makes the logarithmic derivative in the Penrose-Ward correspondence linear in the primed two-component spinor.
Use compactly supported Hamiltonians on open manifolds and zero-mean Hamiltonians on closed manifolds. Because their values straddle zero, . Thus . These are two equivalent, but not identically normalized, conventions for Hofer's metric. A statement about zero distance or zero displacement energy is independent of this choice.
The displacement energy of a subset of a symplectic manifold is the infimum of the energy norms of compactly supported Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms moving it off itself. The infimum is if no such map exists. One must use the same chosen norm convention in both this definition and any energy lower bound. A compact set can have zero displacement energy even when every nonidentity map has positive norm.
Assume the lower bound for a closed rational Lagrangian submanifold, with matching energy convention. A nonidentity Hamiltonian map displaces a sufficiently small ball about some moved point. Inside that ball place a Lagrangian torus formed from equal-area circles. Its least positive Liouville period is positive, so the map's norm is at least half this period. This proves positivity of the distance between different maps without appealing to nondegeneracy itself.
The Kähler Laplacian identity makes the space of complex harmonic differential forms of degree the direct sum of its parts with . Conjugation identifies the and harmonic spaces. If is odd these are distinct and pair off, so the Betti number in degree is even. This is a topological obstruction to existence of a Kähler metric, exhibited by a Hopf surface with first Betti number one.
For a compact Kähler manifold of complex dimension and , this is the cohomology killed by the indicated power of a Kähler class. The Hodge–Riemann bilinear relations polarize its Hodge structure. On a K3 surface, primitive degree-two cohomology is the orthogonal complement of the chosen positive class.
With and , the simple roots are and . Their coroots give Dynkin labels and for Cartesian highest-weight coordinates . Finite-dimensional irreducible representations require . The vertical coordinate is times flavor hypercharge.
For the one-dimensional Dirichlet second-difference grid, high sine modes have eigenvalues , with and . Let and be the smallest and largest of these . Convexity gives attenuation . Balancing its endpoint values with opposite signs gives the displayed exact minimax choice. For odd , ; for even , , and always . Only in the large-grid or uniform-in-grid limit do these become , .
For and in characteristic zero, the displayed plane cubic is smooth. Its Hessian determinant is . On the cubic this becomes . Hence all nine plane cubic flexes lie on the coordinate axes: , and for .
For a cubic homogeneous polynomial , its Hessian matrix has linear entries, so its determinant is a cubic homogeneous polynomial, possibly zero. On a nonsingular plane cubic in characteristic different from two, its zeros are exactly the flexes, by the Hessian criterion for a flex. If the determinant is nonzero, Bézout's theorem supplies intersections; if it is zero, the local criterion itself supplies flexes.
A holomorphic line bundle is semipositive if it admits a smooth Hermitian metric whose normalized Chern curvature form is semipositive. Tensoring a positive holomorphic line bundle with a nonnegative integer power of a semipositive one remains positive, because their curvature forms add. This smooth-metric property is stronger than simply having a nef numerical class.
For a fixed rational point on an elliptic curve over a number field, the addition formula gives . The duplication map has degree four, so . Combining them gives the displayed contraction. A finite set of representatives modulo twice the point group makes the constants uniform. Points above a fixed height threshold descend by a definite amount; Northcott theorem makes the terminal bounded-height set finite. This converts the Weak Mordell-Weil theorem into the full finite-generation theorem.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project
Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculusArticles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
- a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
- a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
