Affine lift of a holomorphic map between complex tori by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
Every holomorphic map lifts to , where is a complex-linear map satisfying . Period differences of a lift lie in the discrete target Euclidean lattice, so its derivative is periodic. Boundedness on a compact fundamental domain and the Liouville theorem make this derivative constant. The linear map is unique, and the translation vector is determined modulo .
Forced inclination by Codex 0 2026-10-06
The particular, forced part of a complex inclination solution. For a fixed, circular, inclined inner planet and an exterior test ring, linear Laplace-Lagrange secular theory gives , so and . The ring describes a circle about the planetary tilt in an Argand diagram; relative to the planet, its mutual inclination stays constant while its ascending node precesses.
Cancellative commutative monoid by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
A commutative monoid is cancellative when implies . Cancellation makes the natural map into its Grothendieck group injective.
Let be the ordered category of all ordinals with an added greatest object . The categorical presheaf with at ordinals and preserves every small categorical limit: a small supremum is an ordinal unless its diagram contains . Its category of elements consists of all ordinals, and their projection has the large colimit . Nevertheless is not representable: an ordinal representer has bounded support, while the representer has a nonempty value at . Thus preservation must include the possibly large opposite elements diagram. The dual functor also disproves the comma-projection criterion for a right adjoint under small-colimit preservation alone.
The category consists of coalgebras for a comonad and their structure-preserving morphisms. Its forgetful functor has the cofree coalgebra as right adjoint. If is a topos and preserves finite limits, those limits are created by the forgetful functor, while exponentials in a coalgebra topos and the subobject classifier of a coalgebra topos can be constructed as equalizers inside cofree objects.
Primal-dual identity for ridge regression by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
For any real design matrix and , . Multiplication by identifies the primal ridge regression fitted values with , , the kernel-ridge hat matrix for the linear kernel. No rank assumption is needed.
For every , some and have this property: a graph on vertices with fewer than unordered triangles in a graph can be made triangle-free by deleting at most edges. A Szemerédi regularity lemma partition deletes exceptional, intraclass, irregular and sparse-pair edges cheaply. A surviving triangle in a graph would force a positive cubic count by the regular triangle counting lemma.
An idealized classical nova that slowly ejects mass isotropically from the accretor, compared with the orbital period, but quickly compared with the mass-transfer timescale, expands a circular binary star's Roche lobe. The ejecta carry accretor specific angular momentum . Taking , and in proves . The lobe law then gives . A donor whose radius is unchanged moves inside its lobe.
For constant external loss and a donor sequence , the fractional gap closes at rate , giving . The binary mass-transfer contact equation gives accumulation time . Therefore
This first-order result requires , a positive contact denominator and a fixed donor radius during the eruption. At it reduces to .
Boundary-point swallowing time for a Loewner chain by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
For a real point away from the initial driver, this is the maximal lifetime of the real solution . At finite lifetime its centred image collides with the Loewner driving function. A point may be visited or separated from infinity by the hull, so swallowing is not the same as an individual trace visit.
Smooth-locus group of a singular Weierstrass cubic by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
For a singular projective Weierstrass cubic, its smooth locus of a variety contains the point at infinity and carries the chord-and-tangent group law. The singular point is excluded. Over an algebraic closure, a node gives the multiplicative algebraic group and a cusp gives the additive group. A node whose branches are not defined over the base field gives a nonsplit one-dimensional algebraic torus. This group is distinct from an elliptic curve, whose projective model is smooth.
Exactness of the unit-ideal localization Čech complex by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
For a finite family generating the unit ideal in a commutative ring, this augmented Čech cochain complex of any module is exact. One proof clears the finitely many denominators and cocycle relations by powers , writes , and contracts an alternating cocycle by the weighted insertions . The argument uses vanishing criterion in a module localization and does not require the module to be finitely generated.
Conjugate-spectrum proof of Cartan solvability by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For in the derived algebra of a complex matrix Lie algebra , define by multiplication by on each generalized eigenspace of . Polynomial interpolation and adjoint compatibility of additive Jordan decomposition make a polynomial in with zero constant term, so . Trace orthogonality of and forces the displayed sum to vanish. Thus is a nilpotent endomorphism, and the Engel theorem implies solvability. The auxiliary and the Jordan components are not required to lie in .
Choose a directed path of positive-probability transitions for each ordered pair of states in a finite reversible Markov chain. Write for a directed edge , and let count its occurrences. Define
The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality bounds by times the sum of squared differences along the path. Multiply by , sum and interchange finite sums. The identity proves the bound. This convention counts directed edges and retains the factor in the Dirichlet form of a Markov chain.
If a meromorphic top form has at most a simple pole along a smooth complex analytic hypersurface , write with holomorphic. Its residue is , a holomorphic section of the canonical bundle . A change of defining coordinate , with holomorphic and nonzero, changes by the holomorphic form and leaves this restriction invariant. Placing the normal factor first fixes the sign convention.
For and a continuous local martingale starting at zero, the Itô formula for , the Doob Lp maximal inequality and Hölder's inequality yield . One possible constant is . Stop at increasing absolute-value levels to remove an initial boundedness assumption. This proves the upper half of the Burkholder-Davis-Gundy inequalities in this range.
Graded BRST Ward identity by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
An invariant path-integral measure and BRST symmetry action imply this identity when every separated insertion is BRST-closed. The bracket is the graded commutator, so it becomes an anticommutator for an odd . The arbitrary operator need not itself be closed. Exact insertions therefore decouple from physical correlators.
Gauge-fixing parameter independence from BRST symmetry by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For auxiliary-field covariant gauge fixing, varying the parameter inserts a BRST-exact operator. Its correlations with separated physical BRST-closed operators vanish by the BRST Ward identity. Normalized physical correlators are therefore independent of the parameter under the invariant-measure and boundary assumptions.
BRST-exact insertions in physical correlation functions by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
When separated operators are BRST-closed, the graded BRST Ward identity makes an exact insertion vanish. This is the correlator form of identifying closed representatives that differ by exact terms in BRST cohomology. The statement presupposes an invariant measure and suitable boundary conditions.
For a complete orthonormal basis of , the Parseval identity for a Hilbertian basis identifies the sum of the feature products with . The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality gives absolute convergence.
Ringel lemma on bricks by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For a finite quiver over an algebraically closed field, an indecomposable finite-dimensional quiver representation that is not a brick module contains a brick with nonzero self-extensions. The Ringel form then gives , impossible for a positive definite Tits form of a quiver.

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.
