This logarithmic area integral measures the accumulated pullback hyperbolic metric area of a holomorphic disc map. Its nonnegative kernel makes it increasing in . Schwarz-Pick theorem bounds by , which controls its characteristic through a critical-point Jensen identity.
For a barotropic fluid in hydrostatic equilibrium along a Killing vector, assume . Integrating gives the displayed first integral, constant on each connected fluid region. For the equation of state with constant , it gives .
The equation of state of isotropic blackbody radiation is . The barotropic hydrostatic first integral gives . The Stefan–Boltzmann law then yields the Tolman–Ehrenfest relation . Here for the stationary timelike Killing vector field; its normalization only changes the constants.
For a hydrogen-only gas with , and , the Saha equation is . Defining and using gives coefficient multiplying . If instead , with entropy density , that coefficient is . The two expressions agree because . The reference entropy sector must be specified, especially after particles have decoupled.
In a thin nondegenerate hydrogen-burning white-dwarf envelope, fix gravity and use , . With opacity and specific heating , set , . Then and , where and . Radiative-zero surface and zero core-flux base conditions give . Thus and , with . At fixed column the specific heating varies as while radiative cooling varies as , giving thin-shell instability in this approximation.
For a smooth rectangular channel, conservation of discharge and Bernoulli equation head gives . A regular hydraulic control has and the displayed geometric compatibility condition. At fixed discharge the critical-head envelope is , with . A simple smooth control requires a local maximum of : and . A local minimum cannot be crossed at the critical head because the real depth branches disappear nearby.
For a prescribed positive head-loss rate , the steady energy balance is . The accumulated loss is added to the bed elevation when applying hydraulic control compatibility: . A local loss law alone does not determine the accumulated loss between a remote inlet and the control; that integral must also be specified.
For loss of fluid carrying its local axial velocity, the inviscid Bernoulli equation head stays constant while discharge decreases. On a flat bed a regular control requires a positive local maximum of . In the parabolic-width channel , this maximum occurs at , with . Its critical depth is . A control exists only when the prescribed total head equals the maximum critical-head envelope and the reach includes that point while retaining positive discharge.
A light shallow layer flows below a roof of height and width through a deeper approximately motionless ambient. Hydrostatic equilibrium and inviscid steady Bernoulli equation give the displayed specific energy for constant volume flux and reduced gravity . At fixed position, and . A roof depression raises the minimum admissible energy, just as a bed elevation does for a heavy lower layer.
A weir is an obstruction across a channel that can regulate volume flux by creating a hydraulic control. In a shallow water model a sufficiently smooth crest has a critical section, with upstream flow subcritical and downstream flow supercritical under free discharge. Losses, submergence and geometry determine whether this ideal control applies.
A sphere map is sent to . After tensoring with this gives the rational Hurewicz homomorphism. It is natural in , sends Whitehead products to zero, and is an isomorphism in the first nonzero homotopy degree of a simply connected space by the Hurewicz theorem.
For standard normal distribution location estimation, an influence function obeys . Under , minimize by projecting onto , choosing to meet that identity. For this gives the displayed Huber score normalized by , with . Pointwise minimality of proves global optimality after integration. At the only feasible normalized function is almost everywhere, the influence function of the sample median. The endpoint is a limit of rescaled clipped scores, not the identically zero score obtained by substituting literally.
Write and . Character orthogonality gives . For , fix the difference . If , there are choices for the two equal pairs. If , any solution has ; fixing this divisor gives a quadratic equation for , hence at most two choices. The subpower bound for the divisor function yields .
The twice-differenced inequality in Weyl differencing reads , with counting triples for which and all four shifted arguments are in . Thus , and for : the product divides , and the remaining equation determines . The Fourier coefficients of are nonnegative counts, with and . Multiply the inequality by and integrate. It follows that , after choosing the divisor-bound exponents small enough.
For a fixed rank- constraint matrix , apply Hotelling's T-squared statistic to the transformed observations . Under , for . If the displayed contrasts are dependent, use a basis of their row space and replace by the rank.
Under a nonsingular affine transformation , transform the null mean by the same map. Then the centered sample mean becomes and the sample covariance matrix becomes . Since , the quadratic form in Hotelling's T-squared statistic is unchanged. Its value and test decision are consequently invariant under changes of units, origin and nonsingular coordinates.
At a fixed horizontal wavenumber magnitude, the steady neutral curve in the horizontal-field magnetoconvection dispersion relation is minimized by . The disturbance is then constant along the imposed magnetic field; it induces no field bending and incurs no magnetic tension penalty. Minimizing gives the displayed stationary threshold for every . These convection rolls have axes parallel to the imposed field. This assertion concerns steady onset.

Restrict the horizontal-field magnetoconvection dispersion relation to , . The steady neutral curve becomes . Its unique minimum satisfies , since . Expanding at large Chandrasekhar number gives and the stated asymptotic expansion. Unlike field-aligned rolls, these disturbances bend the field, and their stationary threshold grows with field strength.

Triangulate by the simplices with vertices and coefficients . Composing with a homotopy between f and g gives a degree-one map P on singular chains. Shared faces cancel; the remaining faces give the displayed chain homotopy identity. Hence homotopic maps induce the same map on singular homology.
For homologous, chemically uniform, gas-pressure-supported radiative stars with specific energy generation and composition-dependent constant opacity, stellar homology gives and . Equating them gives the displayed scalings. Hydrogen depletion changes both mean molecular weight and electron-scattering opacity; holding composition fixed gives and . The power-law burning approximation applies only while hydrogen fuel remains.
For a fixed-mass fully mixed hydrogen burning star with whose radiative stellar homology gives , put . The luminosity is and fuel conservation gives . Hence , producing the displayed feedback law. This applies both to CNO homology with density-dependent inverse-cubic opacity and to radiative homology with fifth-power hydrogen burning and inverse-cubic opacity, at fixed metal mass fraction in the latter. Its physical domain ends at , before the formal denominator vanishes. The idealization holds the coefficient normalizations fixed while stellar composition changes through the mean molecular weight and fuel abundance.
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.
