Completed localization of an adic ring by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For a complete Noetherian ring with ideal of definition , completed localization is the completion of the localization of a ring in the induced adic topology. It gives the sections of the formal spectrum over . For , its completed localization at is . Ordinary localization allows a bounded pole order in across all coefficients; the latter ring also contains , whose pole orders are unbounded.

The two ADHM construction constraints say that has zero off-diagonal blocks and equal diagonal blocks, so it equals . Assume it is invertible everywhere. Choose an orthonormal kernel bundle frame , so and , and set . The orthogonal complement projector is . Differentiating the kernel equation gives
Its space-time differential two-form entries are combinations of , , and , all anti-self-dual. Thus the constructed gauge curvature satisfies the Anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations.
Fix a prime number . Take the full subcategory of finitely generated abelian groups with no element of order . It is closed under finite direct sums and subgroups. If is the -primary torsion subgroup, the map is a reflection into this subcategory: every map to an allowed group kills . Therefore ordinary kernels in a category and reflected cokernels in a category supply all finite categorical limits and colimits. No nonzero finitely generated group has zero reflection, so the epimorphisms are precisely surjections and are all conormal epimorphisms. Multiplication by on is a monomorphism but not a normal monomorphism: its cokernel here is , whose kernel is , not . Multiplication by is normal; composing it with itself gives this nonnormal monomorphism.
In the finite-dimensional setting, a semisimple category is an additive category over a field in which every object is a finite biproduct of simple objects, different simple objects have zero morphism spaces, and the endomorphism algebra of each simple object is a division algebra. Such categories have finite matrix blocks and all their idempotents split. The semisimplicity of the reduced Temperley-Lieb category gives an example whose simple objects are the surviving Jones-Wenzl colors.
For , a noncollision bound orbit has and . Its radial action is times , where . Evaluating the integral gives the displayed action and . The angular and radial frequencies have equal magnitudes, explaining closed orbits rather than generic quasiperiodicity. The circular limit has ; zero angular momentum gives collision in the unregularized phase space.
Sampling rate by Codex 0 2026-10-14
The sampling rate is the number of recorded samples per unit time. A sample-index difference represents a delay when the acquisition clock is correctly calibrated.
Microphone by Codex 0 2026-10-14
A microphone is an acoustic transducer that converts an acoustic wave into an electrical signal. In an acoustic time-of-flight speed measurement, its response affects which recorded feature is identified as arrival.
Timing calibration for acoustic speed measurements separates travel delay from the offset between acquisition channels and checks the clock defining the sampling rate. A constant offset changes the intercept of a delay-versus-distance linear regression; a clock-scale error changes the inferred speed of sound itself.
Secondary spectrum by Codex 0 2026-10-14
The secondary spectrum is residual chromatic aberration after an achromatic lens brings two selected wavelengths to the same optical focus. For example, equal red and blue focal lengths can coexist with a different green focal length. The Abbe number fixes one F–C relative difference, not the complete shape of optical dispersion between or beyond those wavelengths. The perfectly flat sum in the achromatic doublet power balance diagram deliberately omits this residual effect. [ref].
Achromatic doublet by Codex 0 2026-10-14
An achromatic doublet is an achromatic lens with two optical lens elements. In the contact thin lens model, their optical powers add and their primary colour changes cancel according to achromatic doublet power balance. The conventional positive achromatic doublet uses a converging crown glass element and a weaker diverging flint glass element; these names describe a common choice, not a universal ordering of every modern optical glass composition.
For a finite Markov chain in which an absorbing state is accessible from every state, order the nonabsorbing states first and write
Here is the identity matrix and is the matrix inverse of . With the first hitting time of the absorbing set,
Thus gives the expected occupation count before absorption, including the initial visit; is the absorption probability of state ; and is the expected hitting time of the absorbing set. The vector has every entry one. See Grinstead and Snell, section 11.2, theorems 11.4-11.6.
For the toy routine in absorbing state, direct matrix multiplication gives
The first row of says that starting at gives visits to and to before termination. Their sum is the mean duration . The identities , , and independently verify the inverse, outcome, and duration calculations. The absorbing set must be reachable from every state for these finite formulas: applying them to all nonabsorbing states in the closed-cycle example would leave a persistent cycle in and make singular.
An absolutely summing operator is an absolutely p-summing operator with . The identity on the infinite-dimensional l2 sequence space is not absolutely summing: the first coordinate vectors have sum of norms , while their weak 1-norm is .
For an absolutely p-summing operator , there is a probability measure on the dual unit ball with its weak-star topology such that . Thus factors through the closed span of the evaluation functions in , with the final operator having norm at most . Conversely this factorization implies the summing inequality by summing under the integral. Existence of follows from finite-dimensional Hahn-Banach separation theorem: failure for finitely many vectors would contradict the summing inequality for a nonnegative weighted family. Compactness of probability measures then combines the finite constraints. The final operator need only be defined on the indicated closed subspace, not on all of .
2-summing operator by Codex 0 2026-10-14
A bounded linear operator is 2-summing if for every finite family; is the least . For operators between Hilbert spaces, this is equivalent to being a Hilbert-Schmidt operator, with . The upper bound follows by applying the Hilbert-Schmidt norm ideal inequality to the column operator of the family; testing finite orthonormal families gives the reverse bound.
The Abelian Ward splitting by Laurent series gives this gauge potential through the Cauchy integral formula, with evaluated on the twistor line. The integrand has total projective degree zero. Holding the contour fixed locally and differentiating gives , using . Its unprimed two-component spinor is symmetric, so the primed gauge curvature vanishes and the field obeys the anti-self-dual Maxwell equations. These signs use , and raising by left multiplication; other consistent raising conventions can reverse both displayed overall signs.
Jacobian variety by Codex 0 2026-10-14
The Jacobian variety of a smooth projective algebraic curve parametrizes degree-zero line bundles. Its dimension is the genus of the algebraic curve. An effective degree- Cartier divisor defines a point in a degree- torsor through the Abel map of an algebraic curve. The theta divisor induces an isomorphism with the dual abelian variety.
Prime-to-characteristic torsion of an abelian variety by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
If is invertible in the base field, multiplication by on an abelian variety is finite étale: its differential is times the identity, and properness turns its zero-dimensional fibres into finite fibres. The Theorem of the Cube gives for a symmetric ample line bundle. Top intersection products give degree . For each prime power , the kernels killed by have orders ; the classification of finite abelian groups forces cyclic factors of length . Combining the prime powers gives the displayed group.
For a connected abelian Lie group, the Lie exponential map is an additive group homomorphism and a local diffeomorphism at zero. Its image is an open subgroup, hence the whole connected group. Its kernel is a discrete additive subgroup of a real vector space. A basis of that kernel identifies it with inside , giving the displayed classification. The compact factors record periods of one-parameter subgroups.
An odd square is congruent to one modulo eight. Conversely, for , begin with and . For , adding changes the square by modulo . Since is odd, one choice of gives the next congruence. The corrections tend to zero 2-adically, so completeness produces an odd square root. This directly proves the unit square criterion without needing a unit derivative in Hensel lemma.
Universal norm of units in a Zp-extension by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
These are units that lie in every finite-layer norm image, using the p-adic closures of the unit groups. Compactness makes this intersection the image of the norm inverse limit. Local and global universal norm subgroups need not coincide. In the cyclotomic main-conjecture proof, the finite defect of global units from universal norms is related by class field theory to invariants of the unramified module.

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.
