Conservation of relativistic energy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
In an isolated relativistic collision, total four-momentum is conserved; its time component states conservation of total relativistic energy.
This is the relativistic form of conservation of energy, expressed through the conserved four-momentum.

Class number of a negative discriminant Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
For a negative discriminant of a binary quadratic form or , the class number of a negative discriminant counts proper equivalence classes of primitive binary quadratic forms that are positive definite and have discriminant .
Uniqueness of the reduced positive definite binary quadratic form in each class makes this the number of reduced primitive forms. Enumeration of reduced binary quadratic forms proves finiteness and gives an explicit procedure. For example, , represented by , while , with the four forms listed under reduced positive definite binary quadratic forms of discriminant minus thirty-nine.
Imprimitive forms do not enter . At , the reduced form has content two, so the three reduced forms listed under reduced forms of discriminant minus thirty-two contribute only two primitive classes. If is a fundamental discriminant, this form class number agrees with the class number of the imaginary quadratic field of discriminant . For nonfundamental , the associated order in a number field need not be the full ring of integers, so that distinction must be retained.
Enumeration of reduced binary quadratic forms Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
Let with or . A reduced positive definite binary quadratic form of discriminant of a binary quadratic form satisfies
Consequently every reduced form can be found by a finite search:
  • choose ;
  • choose with ;
  • put and retain ;
  • on or , retain only .
To count the class number of a negative discriminant, additionally retain only primitive binary quadratic forms, those with . Otherwise the search also lists imprimitive forms. For example, gives and , but only the first is primitive, so . This distinction is essential when turning an enumeration into a class-number claim.

Entangled state Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
A bipartite density operator is entangled when it is not a separable quantum state. For a pure state, this is equivalent to not being a product state, or to either reduced density matrix having rank greater than one.
Product state Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
A bipartite density operator is a product state when it factors as . A pure product state factors as ; its reduced density matrices have rank one and zero entanglement entropy. Mixed product states can have nonzero marginal Von Neumann entropy.
For a nonempty set of words, the following are equivalent: is computably enumerable, is the domain of a partial computable function, is the range of a partial computable function, and is the range of a total computable function. The nonempty hypothesis is needed only for the last formulation, since the range of a total function cannot be empty.
