The commuting actions of the symmetric group and the general linear group on a tensor power are mutual commutants. The displayed sum ranges over partitions with at most rows. The Specht modules and Schur modules are the simple factors for the two actions. In particular a primitive Young symmetrizer selects one copy of the matching Schur module.
The commutant of the permutation action on identifies with the symmetric tensors in . Polarization spanning of symmetric tensors spans it by . Interpolating at values where is invertible expresses each such power using invertible ones. Hence the Schur algebra is the linear span of the diagonal general linear action.
A morphism of schemes between integral schemes can have a scheme-theoretic fibre that is neither reduced nor irreducible. For the map of affine lines given by , the fibre at has ring . The Chinese remainder theorem identifies it with the product of two dual number rings, so it consists of two nonreduced double points. Its nilpotent structure is invisible to the set-theoretic fibre.
The scheme-theoretic fibres over positive real points, negative real points, zero, and nonreal closed points have real coordinate algebras , , , and , respectively. Their ordinary irreducible component counts are , so there are four real-scheme isomorphism classes. The last case pulls back an irreducible quadratic to a squarefree degree-eight polynomial, with four conjugate pairs of nonreal roots. The zero fibre retains its nilpotents and is not a reduced point.
Blow up in and compose with . Nonzero fibres are . The zero fibre consists of the strict transforms of the two coordinate planes and the exceptional , all with multiplicity one. Its plane crossings make it singular; its closed makes it nonaffine. The centre is deliberately on just one component of , keeping the fibre reduced.
An exact has divergent unsubtracted point variance. Its finite isotropic covariance difference is the displayed logarithm, unchanged by simultaneous dilation of . Thus the nonzero-mode scaling statement has a natural subtraction interpretation. Exact dilation invariance of a continuous finite-variance isotropic covariance itself would instead force a constant covariance, corresponding only to a zero-mode spectral measure. Cutoffs or a zero-mode subtraction must accompany the nontrivial spectrum.
Give the diagonal right monoid action. On its equivariant maps into , define . The evaluation map of an exponential object is and currying of is . Both maps are equivariant, and they are inverse under evaluation. The left multiplication in this right action is essential in a noncommutative monoid.
A complex torus with period matrix of a complex torus admits a Hodge metric precisely when there is a nonsingular integral skew-symmetric matrix satisfying the displayed conditions. The entries of are the periods of the invariant Kähler form over lattice two-tori. The first condition imposes type , and the second imposes positivity; the factor corresponds to the convention .
On , a Hermitian form linear in its first argument has integral imaginary part on the period lattice exactly when its real scalar coefficient is integral. Positivity is equivalent to . The associated holomorphic line bundle has degree because its First Chern class is represented by . In particular the oriented Chern pairing is minus the imaginary part under this convention.
Pauli-mixture parametrization of qubit depolarization by

If the identity is applied with probability and the three nonidentity Pauli operators each with probability , the Bloch vector retention factor is . Thus complete depolarization occurs at , not at zero. The Holevo capacity of a qubit depolarizing channel becomes in this identity-probability parametrization.
For nonzero in a number field, the product of their quadratic Hilbert symbols over all places is one. All but finitely many symbols are one. Over , this is equivalent to quadratic reciprocity with its supplementary laws. It supplies the compatibility relation between the local invariants of a global quadratic form.
Terminal correlation does not identify adapted stock volatility by

The stocks and start at one, are true square-integrable zero-rate martingales, and have perfect positive correlation at each positive time. Their bounded multiplicative volatilities are and , which differ throughout. The additive intercept is what allows the same correlation but different stochastic-exponential coefficients.
Terminal proportionality identifies bounded stock volatility by

Fix a common Brownian motion and a finite horizon . Let positive zero-rate stock prices satisfywith predictable processes bounded in absolute value by a deterministic constant. Their stochastic exponentials are martingales with finite second moments.
If for a deterministic constant , equality of the expected values forces . The martingale identity then gives at each . Continuity of the paths makes this equality hold simultaneously for all times outside a single null set.
Subtract the two Itô integrals. The Itô isometry givesSince , the coefficients are equal almost everywhere for the product measure . The common driving Brownian motion is part of the statement.
Perfect positive correlation gives an affine terminal relation that may have a nonzero intercept. It does not supply the proportionality used here; the terminal correlation does not identify adapted stock volatility example demonstrates that distinction.

For an implicit Runge-Kutta method, algebraic stability means that and the symmetric matrixis positive semidefinite. Here and , soThe method is algebraically stable. This also explains why the property matters for nonlinear problems. If a vector field satisfies , the Runge-Kutta contractivity identity for two solutions, with stage differences and vector-field differences , isThe first sum is nonpositive and the second vanishes. Thus, whenever the implicit stage equations have the relevant solutions, their updates are contractive in the Hilbert space norm.

The zero Dirichlet boundary conditions permit an exact finite-interval calculation. Let on the interior grid points. The Dirichlet discrete Laplacian has an orthogonal eigenvector basisConsequently the update matrix has modal amplification factorsFor every physical , all denominators are at least one. Orthogonal diagonalization therefore provesuniformly in , and . The same bound controls initial perturbations; a forcing increment is propagated by contraction, so successive increments accumulate at most by their sum. The highest-order consistent method is unconditionally stable for all . This proof incorporates the boundary conditions, whereas a periodic Fourier mode calculation alone would not do so.
For completeness, if “range” is interpreted algebraically to include negative on a fixed grid, the exact power-stable range isIndeed, for every denominator is less than one, so requires for every . The strongest restriction comes from . Equality gives a simple amplification factor and is allowed because the update is orthogonally diagonalizable. Other negative values either amplify a mode or make the update singular. This extra branch describes backward time stepping on a fixed spatial grid; it is not a positive-time diffusion discretization, and no fixed negative remains in that branch as .
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.
