Let project onto a degree-one equivariant line bundle on the complex-oriented round two-sphere, and let be its positive-to-negative chiral Dirac operator phase. The compressed map has parametrix modulo compacts. Its domain bundle has degree zero and its target degree two. Their homogeneous line-bundle representations on the two-sphere are respectively and , so the equivariant Fredholm index is the trivial representation and the ordinary index is one. Reversing chirality negates the index. Compressing the full self-adjoint phase instead gives ordinary index zero.
For a Hermitian metric on a complex manifold, the Chern connection on its holomorphic tangent bundle corresponds to a real metric-compatible connection preserving the almost complex structure. Its mixed torsion vanishes, and in holomorphic coordinates its remaining coefficients are . Symmetry in is equivalent to ; its conjugate gives . Thus zero torsion is exactly the Kähler metric condition, and then uniqueness identifies this connection with the Levi-Civita connection.
If a connected closed manifold has a noncontractible universal cover, then has no complete metric making it a Ricci-flat Riemannian manifold. The product has two ends and hence contains a line in a Riemannian manifold for any complete metric. The Cheeger-Gromoll splitting theorem would split it isometrically as . Its three-dimensional factor is Ricci-flat and therefore flat by three-dimensional curvature from the Ricci tensor. The complete simply connected cover of the product would be Euclidean four-space. But that cover is , which retracts onto , contradicting noncontractibility.
Let be a Cartesian comonad on a Cartesian category that is Cartesian closed. Its forgetful functor creates finite limits. For coalgebras and , set , . Transpose to , and put . Their cofree coalgebra transposes have a coalgebra equalizer. A map into this equalizer is exactly a map respecting coalgebra structures, so it is the required exponential object. No subobject classifier on the base category is needed.
Path congestion by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For a family of transition graph paths, Path congestion is the largest, over transitions, ratio of routed pair weight times path length to stationary transition capacity. The canonical paths Poincare bound makes this an upper bound on the relaxation time.
Let be a smooth complex analytic hypersurface through the blowup centre with . Its multiplicity at that point is one, so . Combining this with the canonical bundle formula for a point blowup gives . The nontrivial powers of the exceptional line bundle of a point blowup prove the equivalence for . On a compact complex curve the premise cannot hold for an irreducible hypersurface: it is one point, so its negative divisor has degree , whereas the canonical bundle has even degree .
Irreducible element of a commutative monoid by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A nonunit element of a commutative monoid is irreducible if each factorization has a unit factor. In a submonoid of the positive integers under multiplication, the only unit is one. Irreducibility is relative to the allowed factors: a composite integer can be irreducible in a smaller monoid even though it is not a prime number.
Congruence submonoid of the positive integers by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For an integer , the positive integers congruent to one modulo form a cancellative commutative monoid under multiplication. The identity is one, and it is the only unit. Proper factors outside this congruence class do not witness reducibility inside the monoid. Hence irreducible elements of a commutative monoid need not coincide with ordinary prime numbers.
Two distinct closed lambda terms in normal form for both beta reduction and eta conversion admit a separating context that maps them respectively to the two Church Booleans. Finite Böhm trees and the Böhm-out lemma isolate their first genuine head disagreement. The qualification about eta conversion matters: distinct beta-normal forms that are eta-equivalent cannot be separated this way.
The Bishop-Gromov inequality forces every volume ratio to equal one if the asymptotic ratio is one. Equality in the radial Jacobian comparison forces the radial operator of each distance sphere to be (it is the negative of the outward shape operator in the convention ), by the traced radial Riccati equation for distance spheres and equality in Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. Any finite cut time would remove a positive cone of radial volume at a later radius, contradicting equality. Thus the Riemannian exponential map is global and one-to-one, and the polar metric is , the Euclidean metric.
For a complete connected -dimensional Riemannian manifold with , , put and
Here is the area of the unit -sphere, and is the Riemannian volume of a radius- ball in the round curvature- sphere. The Bishop-Gromov inequality asserts that is nonincreasing for , tends to one at zero, and is at most one. In geodesic polar coordinates, the radial volume density before the cut time is at most . The bound uses trace Ricci curvature; with normalized Ricci curvature it reads .
Binary quartic by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A binary quartic is a homogeneous degree-four polynomial in two variables. Over the complex numbers it determines four points of the projective line, counted with multiplicity. Its discriminant is nonzero exactly when the four points are distinct; this is also its geometric invariant theory stability condition under .
Spherical mean of a biharmonic function by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-18
For a smooth three-dimensional biharmonic function regular throughout a ball, its surface average has exactly this form. Taylor expansion and rotationally invariant spherical moments turn each even term into a multiple of an iterated Laplacian; terms from the fourth derivative onward vanish when . This is the mean-value identity that converts the reciprocal surface average into Faxén's first law.
For a nearest-neighbour random walk with upward probability , start at and put . Its probability distribution is geometric on the nonnegative integers, with the displayed mass and expected value . To prove this, the exponential martingale of a biased simple random walk has expectation one. Stop at the first hit of . Before that hit, ; the strong law of large numbers gives on paths without a hit. Dominated convergence theorem therefore gives . Taking differences of yields the mass. If time zero is excluded, the maximum can equal with probability and does not have this nonnegative geometric distribution.
Diffusion limit of a weakly biased random walk by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For independent lattice steps of length at intervals , with probabilities , the diffusive scaling and requires a bias of order . Expanding the master equation gives the advection-diffusion equation . The finite-step variance coefficient is ; it has the same limit because the squared bias vanishes. Fixed nonzero bias does not give finite drift under this diffusive scaling.
On , stop at zero, move left with probability and right with probability at interior states, and move deterministically from to . For , the first-step analysis gives , and . Setting gives , , hence . Summing these differences proves the displayed formula, and more generally . A downward block has a uniformly positive probability of reaching zero, which supplies a geometric tail bound and justifies finiteness of these expectations.
For independent p-values, with true-null values independent and uniform on , let denote the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure rejection count after replacing one true-null value by zero. The Benjamini-Hochberg leave-one-out identity gives
For distinct true-null indices, the Benjamini-Hochberg leave-two-out identity gives
Indeed, conditional on the remaining values and , the two independent uniform values both meet their threshold with probability , cancelling the denominator . Expanding the square of the false rejection count into its diagonal terms and ordered distinct pairs, and using symmetry among the true-null values, proves
If no null is true, both sides are zero; if exactly one is true, the pair contribution is absent. This formula complements the exact false discovery rate by describing second-moment variability.
Flatness of a projective family does not by itself force global sections to commute with base change. For a discrete valuation ring with uniformizer , glue to along . In the projective model with coordinates , the global ring is . The special-fibre first chart has an additional square-zero element annihilated by ; it vanishes on the overlap and therefore extends by zero to a global section. The special-fibre global ring is , and base change from reaches only its constants.
For a sample of size from a normal distribution with unknown mean, the null variance likelihood-ratio test statistic is , where . With , its expected Taylor terms start with . Here , , and . Higher fixed-order terms contribute only under valid termwise asymptotic integration. Thus and .
For simple roots , Dynkin labels of a Euclidean weight are . The highest root gives the Adjoint representation, of dimension ten. Its eight nonzero weights are the eight roots of ; the zero weight has multiplicity two. The nine distinct label pairs are .

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!
We have two killer features:
  1. 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-calculus
    Articles 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.
