If is the least inaccessible limit of inaccessibles, models ZFC and internally has unboundedly many inaccessible cardinals, while none of its ordinals is an inaccessible limit of inaccessibles. Rank agreement makes inaccessibility below absolute. If a model of unboundedly many inaccessibles has no such limit in the first place, no cutoff is needed. This proves the corresponding relative-consistency nonimplication.
Radially stratified magnetorotational dispersion relation by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For an axisymmetric vertical mode of a shearing sheet with a vertical magnetic field, radial buoyancy frequency , and , the nonstationary amplitudes obey . The two roots for are real. A growing mode exists exactly when . If the advected buoyancy displacement variable is retained as an independent amplitude, the full characteristic polynomial also has a stationary factor .
In units , velocity integration of gives . The beta function separates the radial-speed and angular integrals. This constant is positive for every .
Normalized Killing one-form by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For a non-null Killing vector field of a Levi-Civita connection, hypersurface orthogonality implies that , with , is a closed differential form. The Killing equation and give , whence . The Poincaré lemma gives locally. For a timelike , supplies local static time coordinates. This does not assert global exactness.
The hyperbolic-sine infinite product gives, by taking its logarithmic derivative,
The identity holds away from the poles, with locally convergent sums. For real , it makes positive and strictly decreasing. It is useful for Hartmann flow flux monotonicity and small-argument expansions of hyperbolic functions.
Mean ionizing photon energy of a power-law spectrum by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
Suppose an emitted spectral luminosity is for every , where and is an ionization threshold. The total emitted ionizing luminosity and photon rate use different weights:
Thus a finite emitted mean photon energy for this unbounded power law requires the stronger condition and equals
For , the mean is twice the threshold energy. As , the high-frequency tail makes the mean diverge even though the photon count stays finite. For , substituting into the finite-mean formula would therefore be invalid; for even the unbounded photon-rate integral diverges.
A finite high-frequency cutoff changes both integrals and removes these upper-tail divergences. The mean energy deposited in a nebula also need not equal the emitted mean: absorption weights the spectrum with its photoionization cross section, and energy above threshold can be distributed among heat, excitation and secondary ionizations. The excess , rather than the whole photon energy, is the initial kinetic energy of the photoelectron in the simplest single-ionization event.
Accretion-disk thermal S-curve by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
At fixed disk radius, balancing local heating and cooling gives thermal equilibria parameterized by surface density and temperature. In the hydrogen-ionization disk instability, this locus has cold and hot stable branches joined by unstable equilibria. Crossing the turning points drives the state changes of a dwarf nova. Thermal stability of an accretion disk tests the local heating and cooling response, while viscous evolution of an accretion disk changes the surface density.
Horizontal connection associated to a covariant derivative by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
In a frame of a vector bundle, write a vector bundle covariant derivative as . The associated horizontal subspace at consists of tangent pairs . Under a frame change , the connection one-form changes by , and this horizontal equation changes to the corresponding one in the new frame. Thus the subspaces glue to a unique smooth linear connection on a vector bundle. Its vertical projection gives back the original derivative. The Leibniz rule ensures locality, allowing this construction from an operator initially defined on global sections.
On the holomorphic projectivization by lines, take the line itself as the fibre of . The evaluation inclusion makes it a holomorphic line subbundle of . Its fibre restriction is ; the dual is the relative hyperplane line bundle.
Mean holding time from a transition intensity matrix by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
A state's holding time in a time-homogeneous continuous-time Markov chain is exponentially distributed with rate . Its mean is ; the probability that its next jump is to state is . An absorbing state has infinite holding time.
Localized wavelets of support diameter and norm , with enough vanishing moments, satisfy
Subtract a Taylor polynomial annihilated by the wavelet, apply the Hölder-Taylor remainder bound on its support of a function, and multiply by its norm. The same argument applies to localized boundary wavelets with the same cancellation; finitely many coarse scaling functions are handled separately.
If uniformly and the Hölder seminorms are uniformly bounded, each fixed difference quotient converges. Taking the supremum over point pairs gives . The supremum norms converge, so the full Hölder norm has the same lower semicontinuity of a Hölder seminorm.
For fixed , the coefficient in the Hölder factorization of stochastic exponentials exceeds . Taking and approaches one-half. Thus a uniform stopped exponential moment at coefficient one-half bounds some th moment of each strict scaling , .
For and , the integral is well defined for every real . Scaling the squared kernel difference over the real line and using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality give .
Hölder exponent greater than one forces constancy by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
If a real function on an interval obeys for finite and , its difference quotients tend to zero everywhere. The mean value theorem makes it constant. Equivalently, divide a segment into pieces to obtain .
Hilbert series multiplication exact sequence by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For a homogeneous element of degree acting on a finite graded module, set and . The multiplication exact sequence and additivity of component lengths give . This is the inductive step in the Hilbert-Serre theorem; the annihilator term must be kept unless multiplication by is injective.
For a Noetherian local ring , let . Its eventual Hilbert-Samuel polynomial has degree , equivalently the pole order at of the Hilbert series of . This is the local length-growth invariant, not the embedding dimension. The prime-chain lower bound for local length proves ; the full local dimension theorem gives equality.
Finite quotients of cyclic squaring presentations by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
A group presentation with a cyclic list of generators and relations has no nontrivial finite quotient of a group. In a finite image, all generator orders are odd. Choose the least prime dividing any nontrivial generator order and let be the predecessor of a generator whose order is divisible by . Conjugation by acts as squaring on , so the multiplicative order of modulo divides the order of . That multiplicative order is greater than one and divides , giving a prime divisor smaller than in the order of , a contradiction. This argument applies to any cycle length; it asserts absence of finite quotients, not infinitude of the presented group.

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.
