Take seven copies of a scalene triangle, with sides labelled $a,b,c$ opposite its three vertices, and reflect adjacent copies across their glued side. For the first planar domain, the glued pairs are $a:(2,3),(6,7)$, $b:(4,6),(5,7)$, $c:(1,5),(3,7)$; for the second they are $a:(1,3),(5,7)$, $b:(2,6),(3,7)$, $c:(4,5),(6,7)$. Both coloured trees have central tile $7$. For triangles sufficiently close to equilateral the interiors do not overlap. If its three angles are distinct and between $\pi /4$ and $\pi /2$, the only reentrant vertices are the original central vertices, with angles four times the corresponding triangle angles. They force any proposed isometry to preserve the labelled central triangle, which is incompatible with the different attachments on its arms.

For the spectral proof index the nonzero vectors and covectors of ${\mathbb{F}}_2^3$ by $1,\dots ,7$, using binary coordinates. The Fano plane incidence matrix is $B_{y,x}=1_{y\cdot x=0}$. It satisfies $B^{T}B=2I+J$, so is invertible, and intertwines the point and line permutations of each of the three elementary transvections. Put $D=\mathrm{diag}(1,1,-1,1,-1,-1,1)$. The signed reflection matrices for the Dirichlet boundary condition are $-D{P}_{s}D$ and $-D{Q}_{s}D$, hence $C=DBD$ intertwines them. Its polar orthogonal factor gives a unitary equivalence of the Dirichlet Laplacians, preserving both the $L^2$ inner product and the Dirichlet energy of the piecewise functions. This produces a three-parameter family of noncongruent isospectral planar domains.

Suppose an invertible real matrix $C$ intertwines symmetric orthogonal tile-reflection matrices: $C{M}_s=N_{s}C$. Then $C^{T}C$ commutes with every $M_s$, so its positive inverse square root does too. The polar decomposition of an invertible real matrix therefore gives an orthogonal matrix $O=C(C^{T}C{)}^{-1/2}$ satisfying $O{M}_s=N_{s}O$. On a disjoint union of congruent tiles, $O$ preserves both the $L^2$ inner product and Dirichlet energy. The intertwining identities preserve the face trace conditions defining the assembled Sobolev space, so $O$ gives a unitary equivalence of the assembled Laplacians.

A translation lattice is the additive group generated by linearly independent vectors $v_1,\dots ,v_r$ in a Euclidean space. It defines a discrete subgroup of translations. A full-rank translation lattice has a compact parallelepiped as a fundamental region and therefore a cocompact group action. This geometric usage is distinct from an order-theoretic lattice.

At the Maxwell balance for a scalar reaction-diffusion front, let $q=3\alpha /4$, $\beta =\sqrt{3}\alpha /2$, and perturb the linear growth rate by $\epsilon K\delta (x+cT)$, $T=\epsilon t$. Projection onto the front's translation mode gives $X_T=-K{\mathrm{sech}}^2(\beta Z/2)$, where $Z=X+cT+{\beta }^{-1}\log q$. Hence $Z_T=c-K{\mathrm{sech}}^2(\beta Z/2)$. Finite locked positions exist for $0<c/K\le 1$. For a strict inequality, the root with $KZ<0$ is stable and the other unstable; they meet in a saddle-node bifurcation at $c=K$. This is a leading-order solvability condition, not an exact finite-perturbation solution.

At state $x$, the holding probability of a discrete-time Markov chain is the self-transition probability $P(x,x)$. It is the conditional probability that the next state remains $x$. In a nearest-neighbour birth-death chain, it is $1-p_x-q_x$, where $p_x$ and $q_x$ are the probabilities of stepping right and left. Holding changes the elapsed time but not the embedded chain of actual moves or its boundary exit probabilities.

For $M=\left(\begin{array}{cc}-1/R& 0\\ 1& -2/R\end{array}\right)$ with $R>0$, write $s=t/R$. Its matrix exponential is $B=\left(\begin{array}{cc}a& 0\\ R(a-a^2)& a^2\end{array}\right)$, $a=e^{-s}$. The maximizing unit initial state is the largest-eigenvalue eigenvector of $B^{\ast }B$. Its component ratio is the displayed expression, with $d=(e^s+1)/(2R)+(R/2)(e^s-1)$. This follows by solving the quadratic eigenvector equation for the symmetric two-by-two Gram matrix. The state tends to $(1,0{)}^T$ for $t\gg R$.

For one-parameter binomial and two-parameter normal models, the displayed dimension-matching map has inverse $(p,u)=((1+e^{-\mu }{)}^{-1},\log v)$ and absolute Jacobian determinant $v/[p(1-p)]$. With auxiliary density $h(u)$ and model-jump probabilities $b,d$, an annealing target proportional to $e^{({\ell }_j-k_j)/T}$ gives forward acceptance ratioThe reverse ratio is its reciprocal at the inverse map. Keep model-dependent likelihood constants. Comparing continuous densities directly with discrete masses is not invariant to measurement units; a scientifically meaningful comparison needs models for the same recorded observations with a compatible reference measure, for example bin-integrated normal probabilities for integer-valued measurements.

For a real or complex line bundle, its endomorphism bundle is canonically trivial by scalar multiplication. The Bianchi identity therefore reduces to $d{F}_A=0$. The difference of two connections on a vector bundle is a global endomorphism-valued one-form, which here is an ordinary scalar one-form $a$. Since scalar one-forms have vanishing wedge square, the curvature difference formula reduces to $F_{A+a}-F_A=da$. Thus the de Rham cohomology class is independent of the connection on a vector bundle.

If an invertible square totally nonnegative matrix $A$ has size $n$, then $\det A>0$ andIndeed the adjugate identity gives $(A^{-1}{)}_{ij}=(-1{)}^{i+j}\det A_{\hat{j},\hat{i}}/\det A$, and the deleted-row/deleted-column minor is nonnegative. Consequently an alternating vector $v_j=(-1{)}^j$ gives $(A^{-1}v{)}_i=(-1{)}^i{\sum }_j|(A^{-1}{)}_{ij}|$.

For a module $M$ over an integral domain $R$, a torsion element is an $m\in M$ with $rm=0$ for some $0\ne r\in R$. This includes zero. Equivalently, its annihilator ${\mathrm{Ann}}_R(m)=\{r\in R:rm=0\}$ is a nonzero ideal. The torsion elements of a module form the torsion submodule.

For $M=\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z}$, computed annihilators areFor these three elements, the additive order of a group element is respectively $6$, $3$, and $2$: these are the smallest positive integers killing them. Torsion over $\mathbb{Z}$ agrees exactly with finite additive order of a group element. Over a general integral domain, torsion concerns the chosen scalars instead; the polynomial module from a linear operator gives a torsion example whose nonzero elements have infinite additive order of a group element.

Put $A=k[[t]]$ and $K=A[1/t]$. A free resolution has countably many generators $e_i$ and relations $e_i-t{e}_{i+1}$. Applying the Hom functor with coefficients in $A$ gives $(b_i)\mapsto (b_i-t{b}_{i+1})$ on sequence products. This is surjective: for prescribed $(c_i)$ use $b_i={\sum }_{j\ge 0}{t}^j{c}_{i+j}$, a well-defined formal power series. Therefore the degree-one Ext functor vanishes. But ${\mathrm{Hom}}_A(K,A)=0$, since every image is infinitely divisible by $t$. A nonzero projective module has a nonzero coordinate map into $A$, so $K$ is not projective. Its displayed resolution proves that its projective dimension is exactly one. The finite-generation hypothesis in top Ext detects finite projective dimension is essential.

For a nonzero left finitely generated module over a left Noetherian ring, take a finite projective resolution with finite projective modules. Vanishing of its top Ext functor would make the dual of its final injection surjective. These duals are right finite projective modules, so the surjection splits. Dualizing back and using finite projective double dual modules splits the original injection and shortens the resolution, contradicting the definition of projective dimension. When the dimension is zero, a coordinate map of a finite free module containing the nonzero projective summand supplies a nonzero map to $R$. The left/right distinction in the duals is essential for a noncommutative ring.

The antiunitary factor in the polar decomposition of the Tomita operator. In the finite-dimensional and tracial settings it satisfies $J^2=I$ and $JMJ=M^{\prime }$. In a matrix-algebra standard representation by left multiplication, with positive invertible cyclic vector $D$, it acts by $J(X)=X^{\ast }$.

The positive operator in the polar decomposition $S=J{\Delta }^{1/2}$ of the Tomita operator. In a matrix-algebra standard representation with cyclic vector $D>0$, it is $\Delta (X)=D^{2}X{D}^{-2}$. For a tracial vector it is the identity.

Under cooperative initial memories, matches involving only Tit for tat and always cooperate contain only cooperation, so all four payoffs equal $R$. The two-condition criterion for evolutionary stability has both differences zero. Thus Tit for tat is not an evolutionarily stable strategy against a strategy space containing unconditional cooperation, even if it is a Nash equilibrium. This counterexample is valid for finite horizons and discounting as well as infinite averages.

For a reactive resident $(p,q)$ with $|p-q|<1$, let $z=q/(1-p+q)$ and $g(z)=R{z}^2+(S+T)z(1-z)+P(1-z{)}^2$. Its self-payoff and both ordered cross-payoffs against Tit for tat equal $g(z)$. At introduced Tit for tat frequency $ϵ$, its fitness difference is therefore the displayed expression. If $2R\ge S+T$, it is positive for $z<1$ because $R-g(z)=(1-z)[R-P+(R+P-S-T)z]$. Fully cooperative reached histories tie; the deterministic opposite-response strategy needs a separate cycle calculation. Initial advantage is order frequency rather than a positive invasion exponent at zero.

For independent channel bit flips of probability $p$ and the specified extraction fault of probability $q$, require recovery of an arbitrary input in the original encoded subspace. Every extraction-fault event leaves nonzero error syndrome; without that fault, channel errors are corrected exactly at weight zero or one. Thus success probability is $(1-q)[(1-p{)}^3+3p(1-p{)}^2]$. Compared with a single unencoded bit-flip channel, strict improvement for $0<p<1/2$ requires $q<p(1-2p)/[(1-p)(1+2p)]$. A different decoder or an added later ideal recovery changes the performance criterion and must be specified separately.

If no directed routing path returns from $k$ to $j$, the set of colonies reachable from $k$ has no outgoing edge to its complement. The complement is an autonomous open migration process, and the marked $j\to k$ transition is an exit from it. In time reversal of an open migration process, that exit is a state-independent Poisson immigration channel of rate ${\alpha }_j{p}_{jk}$. Reversing a stationary two-sided Poisson process preserves its law, proving the forward stream is Poisson. This argument does not assert Poisson internal streams for networks with feedback.

An integer interval is a disjoint union of aligned binary blocks with at most two of each length. On $[a{2}^j,(a+1)2^j)$ the Thue–Morse sequence sign factors as $f(a)f(r)$, so the Thue–Morse Fourier product bounds its exponential sum by $O(2^{\sigma j})$. Sum the geometric series over block lengths to obtain the uniform bound, for $\sigma =2-\frac{3}{4}{\log }_{2}3$.

Let $P$ be a once-punctured torus and let $c$ be a nonseparating essential curve. The annulus $c\times [0,1]$ is an incompressible surface in $P\times [0,1]$. Cutting gives a pair of pants times an interval. Both products are genus-two handlebodies, since a compact connected surface with boundary times an interval is a handlebody of genus $1-\chi (P)$.
