Singular homogeneous solution of the Lane-Emden equation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Let , and . Then the Generalized Lane-Emden equation has the positive singular solutionIndeed, the radial Laplacian satisfies . Matching its exponent with gives ; matching coefficients gives . The strict inequality on is exactly what makes that positive coefficient possible.
The solution is singular at the origin, so it is distinct from the regular Lane-Emden function normalized there. Under the Emden-Fowler transformation, it is the constant equilibrium .
Gaussian fluctuation correction near a critical point Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For a Gaussian field theory with quadratic kernel proportional to , let be the distance from the critical point in rescaled units. The relevant heat capacity correction contains the integralwith fixed ultraviolet cutoff . Radial integration followed by giveswhere is the area of the unit sphere in dimensions.
For , the rescaled integral has a finite nonzero limit, so . At , its large- integrand behaves as , givingFor , the leading term instead tends to . It is dominated by the short-distance cutoff. A bare power law cannot describe the full leading integral in every dimension. [ref]
The divergent correction below four dimensions warns that the neglected interactions can become important. It is not an exact interacting critical exponent; the Ginzburg criterion tests the validity of the approximation.
Stationary-phase asymptotic of a Klein-Gordon wave along a subluminal ray Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Consider with , initial displacement a Schwartz function, and zero initial velocity. With ,For a fixed , set and . The phases have their unique stationary points at , with stationary values and curvature magnitudes . The one-dimensional stationary-phase formula givesFor a real even initial profile, is real and even, and the bracket reduces to . Thus the ray oscillation has angular frequency and generic decay. If the sampled amplitudes vanish, the displayed additive error still makes sense. The estimate is for a fixed subluminal ray; it is not uniform as , where the selected wavenumbers escape to infinity.
Flat Klein-bottle geodesic model Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
In a flat fundamental square, straight horizontal, vertical and rational-slope lines project to closed geodesics. The central horizontal glide axis is one-sided, a vertical line is two-sided, and the line closes with one transverse self-intersection.

If spatial reflection leaves a Stokes configuration and forcing equivalent to flow reversal while preserving one candidate velocity component, uniqueness forces that component to vanish.
Penrose process Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
The Penrose process extracts rotational energy by allowing a fragment with negative stationary Killing energy to enter the black hole while another fragment escapes with more energy than the original body carried.

A generalized eigenvector of a linear operator for a scalar is a nonzero vector with for some positive integer . An ordinary eigenvector is the case .
For , the second coordinate vector is generalized: and , although it is not an eigenvector. Such vectors form Jordan chains and complete an eigenvector set when the operator is not diagonalizable. Excluding the zero vector is part of the definition.
Characteristic and minimal polynomials determine similarity in dimension three Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Over an algebraically closed field, the characteristic polynomial gives the total size of the Jordan blocks for each eigenvalue, while the minimal polynomial gives the largest block size. For total dimension at most three, these two numbers determine the partition into block sizes: a multiplicity-three eigenvalue has partition , , or according as its largest block has size , , or . Hence two matrices of size at most three with the same characteristic and minimal polynomials are similar.
