An **ordered semigroup** is a mathematical structure that combines the concepts of semigroups and ordered sets.
In mathematics, specifically in abstract algebra, an **opposite ring** is a concept that arises when considering the structure of rings in a different way. If \( R \) is a ring, the **opposite ring** \( R^{op} \) (also sometimes denoted as \( R^{op} \) or \( R^{op} \)) is defined with the same underlying set as \( R \), but with the multiplication operation reversed.
The Neukirch–Uchida theorem is a result in algebraic number theory, specifically concerning the relationship between certain Galois groups and the structure of algebraic field extensions.
Nakayama's conjecture is a significant hypothesis in the field of algebra, specifically within commutative algebra and the study of Noetherian rings. Formulated by Takashi Nakayama in the 1950s, it deals with the behavior of certain types of modules over local rings.
Naimark equivalence is a concept in functional analysis and operator theory that relates to the representation of certain kinds of operator algebras, specifically commutative C*-algebras. The concept is named after the mathematician M.A. Naimark.
The Milnor–Moore theorem is a key result in the field of differential topology and algebraic topology, specifically concerning the structure of certain classes of smooth manifolds. Named after mathematicians John Milnor and John Moore, the theorem provides a characterization of the relationship between the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold and the algebra of its vector fields.
A metacyclic group is a specific type of group in group theory, which is a branch of mathematics. More precisely, it is a particular kind of solvable group that has a structure related to cyclic groups. A group \( G \) is called metacyclic if it has a normal subgroup \( N \) that is cyclic, and the quotient group \( G/N \) is also cyclic.
A **metabelian group** is a specific type of group in the field of group theory. A group \( G \) is called metabelian if its derived subgroup (also known as the commutator subgroup) is abelian.
A Marot ring is a type of mathematical structure used in the study of algebraic topology, specifically in the context of homotopy theory and the theory of operads. It is named after the mathematician Marot, who contributed to the development of these concepts. In more detail, a Marot ring can be seen as a certain kind of algebraic object that exhibits properties related to the arrangement and composition of topological spaces or other algebraic structures.
Luna's slice theorem is a result in the field of algebraic geometry and it pertains to the study of group actions on algebraic varieties. Specifically, it deals with the situation where a group acts on a variety, and it provides a way to understand the local structure of the variety at points with a particular kind of symmetry.
The Kurosh problem, named after the Iranian mathematician Alexander Kurosh, is a well-known problem in group theory, particularly in the context of the structure of groups and their subgroups. The Kurosh problem concerns the characterization of a certain type of subgroup, namely, free products of groups.
Kummer varieties are algebraic varieties associated with abelian varieties, specifically focusing on the quotient of a complex torus that arises from abelian varieties. More precisely, a Kummer variety is constructed from an abelian variety by identifying points that are negatives of each other.
The Kawamata–Viehweg vanishing theorem is a result in algebraic geometry that deals with the cohomology of certain coherent sheaves on projective varieties, particularly in the context of higher-dimensional algebraic geometry. It addresses conditions under which certain cohomology groups vanish, which is crucial for understanding the geometry of algebraic varieties and the behavior of their line bundles.
The Karoubi conjecture is a hypothesis in the field of algebraic topology, particularly concerning the relationships between certain types of groups associated with topological spaces. Specifically, it relates to the K-theory of a space and the structure of its stable homotopy category. In more technical terms, the conjecture posits that every homotopy equivalence between simply-connected spaces induces an isomorphism on their stable homotopy categories.
The Johnson-Wilson theory is a theoretical framework used in solid-state physics and condensed matter physics to describe the electronic structure of materials, particularly correlated electron systems like high-temperature superconductors and heavy fermion compounds. This theory builds on concepts from quantum mechanics and many-body physics. The key aspects of Johnson-Wilson theory include: 1. **Effective Hamiltonian**: The theory often employs model Hamiltonians that capture the essential interactions and correlations between electrons in a material.
A Jaffard ring is a concept in the field of functional analysis and operator theory, named after the mathematician Claude Jaffard. It is related to the study of certain types of algebras of operators, particularly those exhibiting specific algebraic and topological properties.
The term "Jacobi group" can refer to a specific mathematical structure in the field of algebra, particularly within the context of Lie groups and their representations. However, the name might be more commonly associated with Jacobi groups in the context of harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces or in certain applications in number theory and geometry. In one interpretation, **Jacobi groups** are related to **Jacobi forms**.
Itô's theorem is a fundamental result in stochastic calculus, particularly in the context of stochastic processes involving Brownian motion. Named after Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Itô, the theorem provides a method for finding the differential of a function of a stochastic process, typically a Itô process.
The Isomorphism Extension Theorem is a result in the field of abstract algebra, particularly in the study of groups, rings, and modules. It provides a framework for extending certain structures while preserving their key properties. The theorem is often discussed in the context of group and module theory, where it deals with homomorphisms and their extensions.
In the context of ring theory, an **irreducible ideal** is a specific type of ideal in a ring that has certain properties.

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.
