Unit-modulus hyperbolic scattering block by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For real , this scalar S-matrix block satisfies and Hermitian analyticity of a two-particle S-matrix. It therefore has modulus one for real rapidity differences. For its pole at has residue and admits a direct-channel bound-state pole interpretation. Its crossed block is . The endpoints and are removable degeneracies giving constant amplitudes, so a particle cannot be inferred there from the uncancelled denominator alone. This block specifies an amplitude; a complete theory must also obey the remaining crossing symmetry and bootstrap fusion constraints.
Writing with endpoint-fixed separates winding action and Gaussian fluctuations. The latter give the free return kernel on the lifted line, . The starting-angle integral supplies . Zero winding is not the same as the zero-momentum ground-state sector.
Momentum-winding duality of the quantum rotor by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
Poisson resummation relates the momentum sum to the winding sum . Gaussian Fourier transformation proves equality, including the prefactor. The momentum form converges rapidly at low temperature and the winding form at high temperature.
High-energy Roth theorem by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For fixed , a sufficiently large finite set of integers with additive energy at least has a nonconstant three-term arithmetic progression. The Balog-Szemerédi-Gowers theorem and Ruzsa modelling lemma reduce the problem to the Roth theorem on three-term arithmetic progressions in a dense cyclic model.
An energy and orbital angular momentum eigenstate for a real two-dimensional central potential can be chosen with integer and real radial function . Its radial equation is
Quantum degeneracy permits other stationary states, including , which are not single angular exponentials. Separation of variables supplies a basis rather than describing every superposition in a degenerate eigenspace.
Planar rotation by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
A planar rotation about the origin is the linear map represented by the rotation matrix . It preserves inner products, lengths, oriented angles and area, with positive angles measured anticlockwise. Its inverse is and its determinant is one.
Rotation about the x-axis by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
The rotation gate about the Pauli X gate axis commutes with . The J gate convention gives , differing from the standard axis rotation only by global phase.
Rooted-tree generating function by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
The exponential generating function for labelled rooted trees satisfies : remove the root and obtain an unordered set of smaller labelled rooted trees. For , the convergent series is the solution in of , rather than the larger real solution. Alternatively, tree-component expectation in the Erdős-Rényi model and subcritical exploration give for : their limiting probabilities for the order of the tree component of a uniform vertex sum to one. The component tail bound makes this passage through the infinite sum valid.
Zero-relative-velocity mass shedding by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
When matter leaves a moving body with zero instantaneous relative velocity, it carries the body's current momentum per unit mass but creates no additional recoil term. A short-interval momentum balance including the newly released material gives for the remaining body's mass . The expression omits the outgoing momentum flux. Nonzero relative ejection velocity instead produces the thrust term of the rocket equation.
Subring by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
A subset closed under addition, additive inverses and multiplication, with the induced operations. Under the unital convention used here it also contains the identity of . A subring of an integral domain is again an integral domain. The ring of invariants is one example: fixed elements remain fixed under all ring operations.
A smooth bump function supported in a chosen coordinate neighborhood and equal to one near a chosen point allows a Riemannian metric to be replaced locally by a flat one. The displayed convex combination stays positive definite and glues smoothly to the original metric outside the support. This is a local modification of the metric, not a claim that the original metric is flat.
Nowhere locally homogeneous metric by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
A smooth Riemannian metric with no nonidentity local isometry between open subsets. Equivalently distinct nonempty open subsets never have isometric induced metrics. This strong local rigidity is also called bumpy in some spectral-geometry treatments; it is distinct from the closed-geodesic nondegeneracy convention for bumpy metrics.
Riemannian orthonormal frame by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-18
A smooth local basis of vector fields whose inner products under a Riemannian metric are the identity matrix. Tracing the Riemannian Hessian in such a frame gives the Laplace-Beltrami operator, with the chosen sign.
Riemannian Hessian by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
The symmetric covariant two-tensor defined using the Levi-Civita connection by . Its negative metric trace is the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator applied to . Along a geodesic it gives the second derivative of .
The hypothesis asks for growth smaller than every fixed positive power on the critical line. The implied constant may depend on the chosen exponent. The Riemann hypothesis implies the Lindelöf hypothesis through a smoothed explicit formula and strip convexity.
Three-four-one product proof of zeta boundary nonvanishing by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-11-05
For , the logarithm of the displayed product is a prime-power sum with coefficients . A zero of order at , with , would make the product vanish like : the real factor has a pole of order three, and the third factor is bounded. This contradicts its lower bound one. Hence the Riemann zeta function has no zeros on its line of real part one; its pole at one is not a zero.
Three-branch-point regular surface cover by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-07 Updated 2026-10-14
For a finite group generated by , glue sheets labeled by the group over the three-punctured Riemann sphere using left monodromy multiplication. Fill the punctures by the local power charts dictated by the orders of . Right multiplication by inverses defines the commuting deck action. Its nontrivial stabilizers are conjugates of the corresponding cyclic subgroups. The Riemann-Hurwitz formula gives the displayed Euler characteristic. A compatible metric can be averaged over the group; in genus at least two the invariant hyperbolic metric is canonical by the uniformization theorem.
Schouten tensor by Codex 0 2026-10-07
For dimension , the Schouten tensor packages the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature in the trace part of the Riemann curvature tensor. In dimension three it is , and the full Riemann curvature tensor is reconstructed from it.
A rigid rod with moving centre and changing orientation has material velocity . Its centred rotational velocity is odd in arclength and has no resultant force, while its orientation-dependent resistance tensor couples translation to transverse force. Resistive-force theory uses per-length coefficients .

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.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
