The displayed property holds for every and every , with and . It converts the cone inequality from basis pursuit minimality and the tube inequality from noisy feasibility into a two-constant bound . Both constants are needed in general; a fixed coefficient one on the approximation term does not follow.
In three dimensions, let , with and small . Near the soft shell, , soThe radial integral uses . The divergence obstructs the zero-mass limit of a self-consistent Gaussian variational approximation at a fixed nonzero ordering wavevector. This is the mechanism behind the Brazovskii fluctuation-induced first-order transition; Gross, Ignatiev and Chakraborty's study of fluctuation-driven ordering analyzes the corresponding standard Brazovskii model.
In a model of Peano arithmetic, an element realizes this partial type exactly when it is not a standard numeral. A model omitting it is isomorphic to the standard natural-number structure. For a complete consistent extension of arithmetic, the type is nonprincipal exactly when is the theory of true arithmetic: apply the omitting types theorem in one direction and use an actual standard witness to refute any proposed isolating formula in the other. For incomplete theories, a principal partial type can still be omitted by some models.
The strictly positive case states that a real square matrix with has a positive simple eigenvalue and positive left and right eigenvectors, with all other eigenvalues strictly smaller in modulus. The Brouwer fixed-point theorem applied to on the nonnegative unit simplex gives and . For another eigenvector , maximize ; the triangle inequality gives . Equality forces every modulus ratio and complex argument to agree because every entry is positive, so is proportional to and . Apply the same argument to for a positive left eigenvector; its positive pairing with rules out a generalized eigenvector at , establishing algebraic simplicity. For merely nonnegative matrices a nonnegative leading eigenvector exists. An irreducible nonnegative matrix has a positive leading eigenvector and simple Perron eigenvalue; a primitive nonnegative matrix has the strict modulus gap.
A square nonnegative matrix is irreducible if for each pair there is an integer with . This says that every index can reach every other through positive entries. The Perron–Frobenius theorem then gives a positive leading eigenvector and an algebraically simple eigenvalue. Irreducibility alone permits other eigenvalues of the same modulus: the cyclic permutation matrix has eigenvalues .
For every commutative ring ,Every nilpotent element lies in every prime ideal. If is not nilpotent, an ideal maximal among those disjoint from is a prime ideal avoiding , by the Zorn lemma and the maximality argument.
With and invertible , the additional chiral superfield satisfying has . Its Weyl spinor and auxiliary field remain independent. This eliminates the independent scalar. It does not force .
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is a rotational symmetry preserving Landau free energy of the nematic order parameter. One three-dimensional normalization through fourth order isThe cubic invariant generically produces a first-order phase transition. Its absence in two dimensions is an algebraic identity, not a guarantee that a mean-field approximation captures all fluctuations.

Under rotation by a rotation matrix, a symmetric second-rank tensor transforms by conjugation, so its traces of powers are invariant. For a three-dimensional traceless second-rank tensor, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem implies . In two dimensions its eigenvalues are , so . These identities organize the Landau-de Gennes free energy.
A uniaxial nematic order parameter has one distinguished nematic director and equal eigenvalues in its perpendicular plane. In the displayed normalization the eigenvalues are , giving and . Positive and negative describe prolate and oblate orientational anisotropy, respectively; reversing the nematic director leaves the tensor unchanged.
For and any taking the same values at at least two distinct knots, . To prove it, set , integrate by parts on each polynomial interval and use , , continuous and linear exterior pieces. Boundary terms cancel. Expanding the square proves the identity. Equality forces , so is an affine function and its two prescribed zeros make it identically zero.
Let be the interpolating cardinal basis and set . Linearity gives , and this Gram matrix is a positive semidefinite matrix. Its null space consists precisely of vectors , by the null-space statement for the second derivative roughness penalty. Thus its rank is , including the zero matrix when .
A straight rigidly rotating classical string has speed of light at a free endpoint. Its energy and angular momentum satisfy a Regge trajectory. A segment with one anchored and one free end has , twice the slope of the string with two free ends.
A real Cartier class on a projective scheme is ample if and only if its top self-intersection on every positive-dimensional integral subvariety is positive. For the converse curve tests give nefness. Small ample perturbations and rational approximation give ample rational with satisfying the algebraic Morse inequality for ample divisors, hence bigness. Induction gives ample restrictions on codimension-one subvarieties; uniform ample subtraction from a big divisor with ample exceptional restrictions makes nef. The nef-plus-ample ampleness lemma concludes. For reducible schemes perform the finite component tests simultaneously.

Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
For , a nonnegative entire weak subsolution of a bounded measurable uniformly elliptic divergence-form equation that belongs to for some is zero almost everywhere. Rescaling the local Moser iteration estimate gives . Let .
For a proper morphism with a locally Noetherian scheme, Stein factorization separates its connected-fiber part from its finite part:The morphism is proper with geometrically connected scheme-theoretic fibres, is a finite morphism, and . The coherent sheaf makes the relative spectrum finite over ; the connectedness assertion is the substantive part of the theorem.[ref]
For a finite morphism, and is the identity. For with the projection to , the intermediate scheme is . Thus the construction records disconnected finite-sheet data without retaining the positive-dimensional geometry inside each connected fibre.
If is normal, so is . For a surjective proper morphism from a smooth algebraic surface to a smooth algebraic curve over an algebraically closed field, is therefore a smooth algebraic curve. It is projective when the target curve is projective; properness relative to an affine curve does not itself imply projectivity over the ground field.
A monoid automorphism is a bijective operation- and identity-preserving self-map of a monoid. Its inverse is also a monoid homomorphism. Permuting prime numbers and extending by prime factorization gives all automorphisms of the multiplicative monoid of positive natural numbers; extending by gives automorphisms of the multiplicative monoid including zero.
The Ramanujan tau function gives the Fourier coefficients at positive indices of the modular discriminant: , with . The Serre derivative and vanishing of weight-fourteen level-one cusp forms give and hence the convolution recurrence
For a random classifier determined by training information , and an independent test pair , its conditional misclassification risk is . It is itself a training-dependent random variable. The tower property of conditional expectation gives .
On a complete connected Riemannian manifold, let for a unit tangent vector be the supremum of times for which minimizes Riemannian distance from . The cut locus consists of the endpoints with . Radial minimization fails beyond this first cut time; distance spheres can cease to be smooth there.
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.
