For principal moments and symmetry-axis unit vector , angular momentum and angular velocity obey
Thus , , and the symmetry axis are coplanar at every instant.
Torque-free rigid-body invariants Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The Euler equations for a torque-free rigid body conserve rotational kinetic energy and squared angular momentum,
Their common level sets are the intersection of two ellipsoids in angular-velocity space.
Thermal rounding of a buckling transition Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Thermal fluctuations smooth the zero-temperature pitchfork in filament buckling: the mean compression remains analytic and nonzero below the mechanical threshold, with rounding controlled by .

For a fixed point a distance from the centre of mass and inclination measured from the upward vertical,
The spin and precession angles are cyclic.
Cyclic transitive point set Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A finite point set is cyclic transitive when a cyclic group of isometries acts transitively on it.
Edge Ramsey set Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
A finite Euclidean configuration is edge Ramsey when every finite edge coloring of a suitable finite Euclidean set contains a monochromatic isometric copy. The edge Ramsey configurations are exactly the equidistant sets, equivalently the vertex sets of regular simplices.

Product theorem for Euclidean Ramsey sets Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If finite point sets and are Euclidean Ramsey, then their orthogonal Cartesian product is Euclidean Ramsey. The proof first chooses a finite Ramsey witness for , colors a witness for by the complete color pattern it induces on the first witness, and then applies the two Ramsey properties in succession.
Spherical point set Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A finite point set is spherical when it lies on a sphere. Every Euclidean Ramsey set is spherical. Whether every finite spherical point set is Euclidean Ramsey is open.

Equivalent local martingale measure Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
An equivalent local martingale measure makes every discounted asset price a local martingale. In continuous-time markets this is the usual measure appearing in the no-free-lunch-with-vanishing-risk form of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing.
Linear stability of a planar equilibrium Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a hyperbolic equilibrium of a smooth planar system, the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix determine local stability. If its determinant and trace are positive, both eigenvalues have positive real part and the equilibrium is a repeller.
Arzelà-Ascoli theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a compact Hausdorff space , a subset of is relatively compact in the uniform norm exactly when it is equicontinuous and pointwise bounded. On a compact metric space, this says that every uniformly bounded equicontinuous sequence has a uniformly convergent subsequence.

An equatorial Kelvin wave has zero meridional velocity, eastward phase propagation, and Gaussian meridional trapping.
Impact parameter Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
The impact parameter is the perpendicular distance between an incoming particle's asymptotic straight-line trajectory and the centre of a scattering potential. In central-force scattering it determines the deflection angle whenever the scattering map is single-valued.
