Quasiconvex subgroup Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
A subgroup is quasiconvex when it is a quasiconvex subset of a Cayley graph. In a hyperbolic group, a finitely generated subgroup is quasiconvex exactly when it is quasi-isometrically embedded.
Quasi-steady rate law for a two-substrate allosteric enzyme Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
A sequential two-binding model can produce the reduced reaction rateHere is the free substrate concentration relative to a chosen scale , is product concentration, and has units of concentration per time. The dimensionless parameters must be obtained from a specified enzyme kinetics mechanism; the rational function alone does not identify a mechanism involving allostery.
For example, suppose a single substrate species binds twice in sequence, producing three enzyme states , and only makes product. If binding relaxes rapidly compared with catalysis, take the approximate binding balancesThe total enzyme concentration givesMultiplying by the turnover number yields the stated law with . These rapid-binding balances are an additional model assumption within a quasi-steady-state approximation.
At low substrate concentration, because the active state requires two binding events. At high substrate concentration, the rate tends to . Such limiting behavior helps compare candidate mechanisms with measured reaction rates; evidence for cooperative binding requires examining how the binding constants depend on occupancy.

Bilipschitz equivalence Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A bilipschitz equivalence distorts all distances by multiplicative constants bounded away from zero and infinity. Every bilipschitz equivalence is a quasi-isometry.
Quasi-isometrically embedded subgroup Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A finitely generated subgroup is quasi-isometrically embedded when its inclusion, equipped with word metrics from finite generating sets, is a quasi-isometric embedding. This property is independent of those generating sets.
Quasi-isometric embedding Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A quasi-isometric embedding satisfies the two-sided coarse distance inequality in the definition of quasi-isometry, without requiring its image to be coarsely dense.

Lindblad equation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-11-05
The Lindblad equation describes the generator of a time-homogeneous, completely positive, trace-preserving quantum dynamical semigroup in a finite-dimensional system. In units , the Hamiltonian supplies coherent evolution and the Lindblad operators specify dissipative contributions.
The Lindblad dissipator combines its gain term and two anticommutator terms so that the trace remains one. For and , diagonal entries in the basis stay fixed while an off-diagonal element obeys : dephasing without population decay. The semigroup assumption is a specific model of environmental memory loss.
