Rubblising collision Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
A rubblising collision shatters a body but does not supply enough energy to disperse its fragments against self-gravity, leaving a gravitationally bound rubble pile.
Tiny object Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
An object of a Cartesian closed category is tiny when exponentiation itself has a right adjoint.
The extra adjunction defining a tiny object should not be confused with the filtered-colimit condition for a compact object (mathematics).

Canonical map of a hyperelliptic curve Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The canonical map of an even-degree hyperelliptic curve is
so it identifies the two points and of a general fibre and is not an embedding.

Brusselator periodic-orbit criterion Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The spatially homogeneous Brusselator has its unique positive equilibrium at . Its Jacobian there has determinant and trace . If , the equilibrium is a repeller inside the Brusselator trapping region; the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem then supplies a periodic orbit.

BRST cohomology Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
BRST cohomology identifies physical states and observables with BRST-closed objects modulo BRST-exact ones. A change of gauge-fixing fermion changes the action by a BRST-exact term and therefore leaves BRST-cohomology classes unchanged when the measure has no BRST anomaly.
Gauge-fixing fermion Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A gauge-fixing fermion is a Grassmann-odd functional whose BRST transformation supplies the gauge-fixing and ghost terms. Nilpotence gives immediately.
Brownian compensator martingale Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For standard Brownian motion and , the process
is a true martingale. The Itô formula writes it as , whose bounded integrand has finite expected integrated square on every finite horizon, by the Itô isometry. For a general function, the same expression is a local martingale; additional integrability is needed for a true martingale. Integrability of alone does not justify removing localization. For example, gives , a true martingale by finite Gaussian moments even though is unbounded.
For and the convention ,
