Faithful representation of an affine algebraic group Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Every affine algebraic group has a faithful finite-dimensional rational group representation. Choose algebra generators of and place them in a finite-dimensional subspace stable under right translations. An element acting trivially on that subspace has the same coordinate values as the identity and therefore is the identity.

Dusty radiation-pressure-driven shell Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
A dusty radiation-pressure-driven shell is swept up when ultraviolet radiation from an active nucleus is absorbed by dust and reradiated in the infrared. Single scattering supplies up to roughly of momentum flux, while trapped infrared photons can enhance it by the infrared optical depth.
