Scalar curvature is the complete trace of the Riemann curvature tensor:
An -manifold of constant sectional curvature has .
Order of vanishing Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The order of vanishing of a nonzero rational function at a point is the exponent of a local parameter in its local factorization. A negative order is the order of a pole.
The local multiplicity in zeros and poles is positive for a zero and negative for a pole; it is zero at a regular nonvanishing point.
Partial fraction decomposition Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Over a field in which the denominator splits, a proper rational function is a sum of terms . The coefficient at a simple pole is obtained by multiplying by and evaluating at .
Projective scheme Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A projective scheme over a base is an -scheme admitting a closed immersion into some projective space . Every projective morphism is proper.
Projectivity is a property of the scheme over its specified base, expressed by its structural projective morphism.
Valuative criterion for properness Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a finite-type morphism of Noetherian schemes, properness is equivalent to existence and uniqueness in every lifting problem from the generic point of a valuation ring to .

Jeffreys-Lindley paradox for a Gaussian point null Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Suppose independently, and compare with for fixed , using equal prior model probabilities. Put . The posterior probability of a Gaussian point null is
Holding fixed while leaves the two-sided p-value unchanged but makes the null posterior probability tend to one. For , and , the p-value is about , while the null posterior is about .
The two procedures answer different model-based questions: a tail probability under the point null and a comparison of that null with a specified alternative prior distribution. The alternative's fixed prior scale spreads mass over parameter values much wider than the increasingly precise likelihood. This is the Jeffreys-Lindley phenomenon, not a conversion formula from p-values to posterior probabilities.[ref]
