Flux-surface preservation during magnetic-tube expansion by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
Suppose the Cartesian magnetic flux function is advected, the initial axial velocity is zero, initially, and . Then remains a function of the flux label and time. The axial Lorentz force vanishes because its transverse derivative along a magnetic field line vanishes. Smooth ideal evolution therefore preserves zero axial motion.
In the classical risk model with positive relative safety loading and adjustment coefficient , tilting the ruin defective renewal equation gives a proper renewal equation. The key renewal theorem yields . The constant is positive if the denominator is finite and zero if it is infinite; the claim-size density provides the nonarithmetic hypothesis.
Control-volume drag formula for a sphere in a tube by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
Take a fluid control volume spanning a nearly occluding sphere. The pressure difference contributes upwards, while the outer-wall shear in the sphere frame contributes . Since sphere-frame flux in a tube gives , the drag on the sphere is . Using the wall shear avoids integrating traction over the strongly curved sphere directly. The remaining tube pressure drop is fixed by Hagen-Poiseuille flow.
For , local Radon-Nikodym derivatives representing an functional on finite-measure sets have uniformly bounded mass. Choose a sequence of finite-measure sets approaching the supremum of that mass, and glue their compatible densities on their union . Any finite-measure set outside must have zero local density, since otherwise it would increase the supremum. Every Lp space function is approximable by simple functions of finite-measure support, so the glued density represents the functional on the whole space.
For two outgoing particles with centre-of-mass momentum magnitude and total energy , integrating the four-momentum delta function gives . A factor for identical outgoing particles is inserted when counting events over the full phase space, not into this labelled kinematic measure itself.
The covariant force on a charged particle is its charge times the electromagnetic field-strength tensor contracted with its four-velocity. Antisymmetry keeps the four-force orthogonal to that velocity and preserves the rest mass.
In the nonrelativistic Lorentz force model with uniform, time-independent perpendicular electric field and magnetic field , a charged particle's guiding centre drifts withIndeed, , so . The remaining velocity executes cyclotron motion about this drifting centre. The drift is independent of the particle's electric charge and mass.
For and , the drift is along with component . Its use as a nonrelativistic approximation requires the relevant particle speeds, including , to be small compared with the speed of light. A frame in which the electric field vanishes exists in the fully relativistic perpendicular-field problem when . [ref]

Geometrization of the Lorentz force by an affine connection by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For smooth stationary fields on , set and , with all other Christoffel symbols zero. This torsion-free connection makes the equation a geodesic equation with time as affine parameter. Arbitrary smooth fields suffice; a metric realization imposes additional potential conditions.
When the long-run variance of a stationary process is positive, matching the variance of its average to an average of independent observations gives . Positive aggregate correlation reduces this size; negative aggregate correlation can increase it beyond the observation count. This extends the variance interpretation of effective sample size of a Markov chain.
A path graph state simulates a sequence of Clifford gates , , using fixed equatorial qubit measurement bases on successive path vertices. Let be raw outcomes, , and start the Pauli frame at . Matrix commutation and giveInduction shows the final unmeasured state differs from the ideal circuit output by , up to global phase. A final computational basis result is corrected to . All bases are fixed, and projectors on distinct vertices commute, so all measurements, including the final one, can occur in a single layer. The frame recurrence is classical outcome processing, not quantum feed-forward.
A scale-invariant curvature seed gives wavenumber-independent dimensionless matter power at radiation-era horizon entry. Horizon entry at , followed by logarithmic growth to equality, gives a density transfer proportional to . Subsequent matter-era growth is proportional to , so the dimensionless density power is proportional to . This is a high-wavenumber asymptote, not an expression at the transition point.
The Cauchy principal value integral is the logarithmic integral. The offset version differs by a constant and is often used with the prime-counting function. It has .
If with , and having the standard normal distribution, then for every real ,Here is the standard normal distribution function. Multiplying the normal distribution density by and completing the square shifts its mean by and supplies the factor ; this is a Gaussian exponential tilt. Integrating above or below the shifted threshold proves both formulas. They apply to noninteger and negative powers, including the inverse-price moment . The lower-tail formula gives the European power put formula after a binomial theorem expansion.
For a Loewner chain with half-plane capacity , scale invariance means has the original law for every . Its mapping-out maps are and its Loewner driving function is . This follows by differentiating the Chordal Loewner equation. Brownian scaling gives this property for Schramm–Loewner evolution.
Conditionally on the entire past up to , the future domains mapped and centered by have the original chain law and are independent of that past. For Schramm–Loewner evolution this follows from independent stationary Brownian motion increments and the composition rule for chordal Loewner driving functions. The Strong Markov property gives the version at almost surely finite stopping times.
Local splitting when a quotient sheaf is locally free by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
In a short exact sequence of sheaves , if is locally free of finite rank, the sequence splits near every point. Trivialize , lift its finitely many basis sections locally, and shrink to one neighbourhood on which all lifts exist. The lifts define a splitting. If is also locally free, then so is . Conversely locally free kernel and middle term need not give a locally free quotient: multiplication by on has quotient supported at the origin.
local linear regression fits to responses near each target by weighted least squares, then returns the fitted intercept. With weights , put and . If , then . Its polynomial reproduction property of local polynomial regression reproduces affine functions, reducing boundary bias relative to a local constant fit.
A uniformly bounded local martingale is a true uniformly integrable martingale: a localizing sequence gives uniformly dominated stopped values, so their conditional identities pass to the limit. A deterministic bound on each compact time interval gives a true martingale on each such interval, even when the bound grows with time.
For a circular cone with intrinsic metric , , local development uses plane angle . A plane straight segment that avoids the origin lifts to a geodesic. Choosing an angular difference at most gives plane difference at most , so for this constructs a joining geodesic between any two distinct points. Different permitted angle lifts can yield distinct joining geodesics; the missing apex cannot be used to join straight segments through the plane origin.
Canonical normalization of a scalar gradient term by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-11-05
For a statistical scalar theory with gradient coefficient , this rescaling gives a canonical term. A mass coefficient becomes , a quartic coefficient becomes , and a source becomes . Thus the simple propagator denominator and loop-coupling formulas assume these normalized coefficients. The associated measure Jacobian is field independent and belongs to the free-energy normalization.
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.
