For a nonnegative normalized mollifier supported in the radius- ball, integrate the BV translation estimate with weight . The full-space derivative variation controls the full-space error. Replacing it by variation on a smaller domain is invalid without a support condition: a nonconstant bump outside that domain has zero derivative measure inside but a nonzero mollification error.
Let , and , where is the local flow of with nonnegative . The formula uses common oriented BV traces on a hypersurface; the trace difference of is zero almost everywhere on . It also holds for both negative-time increments with denominator positive .
The BV slicing theorem reduces the calculation to one dimension. With a right-continuous representative of and , Fubini's theorem yields
The inner factor tends to and is bounded in absolute value by . Dominated convergence against leaves only its measure atoms at the countable slice jumps of . That same bound times permits integration over the transverse coordinates. No essential bound on is used, even if its slice values grow without bound. The formula is useful for opposite-flow fidelity identity for quadratic data with unbounded data and a bounded comparison function.
For , , and ,

Drifted Brownian first-passage density by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For a positive level , this density describes the first-passage time of . The Girsanov theorem multiplies the zero-drift density by the stopped likelihood . Its total mass is one for nonnegative drift and for negative drift; the latter has remaining mass at infinite hitting time.
Suppose an integrable measurable-function class can be covered by finitely many function brackets of every positive width. For an independent sample with common law , the empirical measure satisfies on a common probability-one event. For one finite -cover, the supremum is bounded by plus the largest empirical error among its endpoints. The strong law of large numbers makes that finite maximum vanish. Taking a countable sequence of widths decreasing to zero proves the assertion. A measurable supremum can be obtained from a pointwise separable function class; otherwise the probability-one-event formulation expresses the same pathwise conclusion.
Integrable envelope of a function class by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
A measurable function is an integrable envelope of a function class for a class under a probability law if for every and . Such an envelope permits the dominated convergence theorem to control shrinking function brackets.
For a scalar BV space function, clipping to partitions its coarea formula for BV functions into middle and tail levels. The clipped function has the original superlevel sets at heights in . The positive tail levels of correspond to original heights above , and its negative tail levels to heights below . Thus their total variation seminorms add exactly. This is stronger than the triangle inequality and is specific to scalar monotone clipping. It supports residual-preserving clipping of an ROF minimizer.
Bosonic statistics from commuting creation operators by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
Commuting creation operators make multiparticle states invariant under exchange of their labels. With , the normalized number states exist for all , giving unrestricted bosonic occupation numbers. The single-mode thermal sum is and the mean occupation is . Thus the exchange symmetry and the Bose-Einstein distribution are two expressions of the same bosonic algebra.
Canonical bundle formula for a point blowup by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For the blowup of a complex manifold at a point in complex dimension , the differential gives a section of whose divisor on a complex manifold is . Indeed, a local chart has and for , so its Jacobian determinant is . The holomorphic line bundle associated to a divisor then gives the formula for the canonical bundle.
Under repeated identical amplitude damping channels, all excited population eventually relaxes to the ground state for any fixed . The Bloch vector approaches . For the limit is reached in one action, while is the identity channel and preserves every input. Keeping the zero-damping endpoint separate prevents an incorrect universal relaxation claim.
Integrated second-order kernel bias bound by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For a nonnegative symmetric unit-integral kernel for density estimation and , the integral Taylor remainder and Minkowski inequality give . Translation preserves the L2 norm. For a signed kernel the same proof requires the absolute moment .
Exact false discovery rate under independent null p-values by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure, replace a true-null p-value by zero and call the new rejection count . The Benjamini-Hochberg leave-one-out identity identifies rejection with with the event and . If is uniform and independent of all the other p-values, each possible rejection count contributes to its expected false-discovery fraction. Summation gives per true null and the displayed exact false discovery rate. Super-uniform independent nulls yield the corresponding upper bound.
Axial-current squared interaction by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
Since the chirality matrix commutes with spinor Lorentz generators, transforms as a vector under proper Lorentz transformations and as a pseudovector under parity. Contracting two copies gives the Lorentz scalar ; the extra parity signs cancel. Lorentz invariance of this interaction does not require current conservation.
Logarithmic two-point scaling from a cubic beta function by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For and , integrate the running coupling equation and then the anomalous-dimension multiplier. The correlator correction grows as a power of the logarithm of energy, rather than as a fixed power of energy. Higher perturbative orders change subleading terms while retaining this leading logarithmic exponent.
Banks-Zaks fixed point by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
A Non-Abelian gauge theory can have a weak infrared fixed point when the one-loop coefficient of its renormalization-group beta function is small and positive while the two-loop coefficient is negative. For and evolution in , has the displayed zero and slope . Fundamental-fermion flavor number just below the asymptotic-freedom boundary produces this regime.
A scalar function in the BV space has an approximate jump at a point when its mean on each of two half-balls approaches a different finite value. The half-balls are determined by a unit normal . Reversing the normal exchanges the two BV traces on a hypersurface. Their collection is the jump set of a BV function.
The within-block ANOVA stratum contains response vectors whose coordinates sum to zero separately in every block. For blocks of size its dimension is . A shared additive block effect cancels in every vector in this subspace.
Alternating exterior-arm separation lemma by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
Four infinite exterior arms entering a square in alternating primal-open and dual-open order force the two primal arms to be disjoint outside the square. If they met, their finite connecting crosscut together with a boundary arc would enclose one dual arm, preventing its escape to infinity. Connecting the two primal arms through the square creates a proper doubly infinite open path, separating the two remaining dual infinite tails. finite-energy property of Bernoulli percolation can then turn this configuration into two infinite dual clusters, contradicting uniqueness. Care is needed to preserve the exterior dual tails even if the finite modification destroys their original boundary attachments.
Alexander breadth bound on Seifert genus by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
A minimal-genus Seifert surface has a -by- Seifert matrix . Each entry of has degree at most one, so its determinant has breadth of a Laurent polynomial at most . This lower bound on Seifert genus need not be sharp: an untwisted Whitehead double can have Alexander polynomial of a knot and positive Seifert genus.
Over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from two, a degree-two map from a smooth genus one curve to the projective line has a deck involution. After choosing an origin, all its fiber divisors on an algebraic curve are linearly equivalent and have the same group sum , by the Abel-Jacobi map of a genus-one curve. The involution is consequently , including its fixed ramification points. Composing two such involutions gives a translation on an elliptic curve.

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.
