Euclidean norm on the Eisenstein integers Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-31
Every complex number can be written uniquely as with real , where . Round separately to integers . The error is with , and
For Eisenstein integers with , apply this to to choose . The remainder is an Eisenstein integer and if nonzero. Thus the Eisenstein norm is a Euclidean function and these integers form a Euclidean domain. Coordinate rounding suffices; no closest-point theorem is needed.
Figure 1. . The translated error lies in the blue parallelogram, whose farthest corners have squared modulus . The dashed unit circle lies strictly outside the error bound. Details.

Common envelope Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
A common-envelope phase occurs when unstable binary interaction engulfs both stellar cores in one envelope. Orbital energy and angular momentum may eject the envelope, leaving a compact binary, or the cores may merge.

Value group Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The value group of a valued field is the ordered abelian group formed by the values of its nonzero elements. A valuation is discrete when its value group is infinite cyclic with the order inherited from .
Influence of a variable Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For the -valued convention on the unbiased Boolean hypercube, the influence of coordinate is , where is the discrete derivative of a Boolean function. It equals the probability that flipping coordinate changes . For the -valued convention, the same flip probability is instead , since a nonzero discrete derivative has magnitude .
Mean drift from a Fokker--Planck equation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If boundary fluxes decay sufficiently fast, two integrations by parts give

Linear noise approximation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Near a stable deterministic equilibrium, replace the drift by its linearization and the diffusion coefficient by its equilibrium value. The resulting Ornstein-Uhlenbeck approximation has a stationary normal distribution.

Poincaré lemma Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Every smooth closed differential form of positive degree is locally an exact differential form. On a coordinate ball centered at zero, put and let be the radial vector field. Define the degree-lowering operator
For a -form with , the integrand has a factor in its coordinate coefficients and is smooth at zero. Cartan's magic formula and differentiation of the pullback of a differential form give . Integrating from zero to one gives , since in positive degree. If , take . The local potential of a closed differential one-form gives the explicit degree-one construction. Global exactness can fail through nonzero periods, measured by de Rham cohomology.
