Gaussian density kernel 2026-10-14
The Gaussian density kernel is the standard normal probability density used as a unit-integral kernel for density estimation. Its second moment is one and . Its canonical kernel has scale . It is a function of one smoothing displacement, distinct from the two-argument Gaussian kernel used as a positive-semidefinite kernel.
Triweight kernel 2026-10-14
The triweight kernel is a compactly supported symmetric probability density with variance . Its value and first two derivatives vanish at the support endpoints. Its integrated squared second derivative is , and it minimizes that curvature among twice continuously differentiable densities with zero mean and the same variance, by the triweight density minimizes integrated squared curvature inequality.
Kelvin-Voigt cantilever creep 2026-10-14
For a quasistatic cantilever of Kelvin-Voigt material, the bending moment is . A tip load gives , so the free-tip displacement obeys the displayed equation with . A step load gives a finite asymptotic deflection. If inertia is retained, the interior equation is , with the corresponding moment and shear conditions at the tip.
Kauffman bracket breadth bound 2026-10-14
A state with B smoothings has at most circles, so its largest A exponent is at most . The dual argument bounds the smallest exponent below by . For a connected link diagram, the Turaev surface inequality bounds the resulting breadth by . For a connected reduced alternating diagram, adequacy prevents cancellation at both extremes and planar Euler characteristic gives equality. A disconnected projection needs the additional term in the Jones polynomial breadth bound for a disconnected diagram.
Kauffman bracket skein module 2026-10-14
For an oriented 3-manifold, take the linear span of isotopy classes of framed links, including the empty link, and impose the local bracket smoothing relation and the trivial-circle relation with factor . Fixing framed boundary endpoints gives its relative version. Gluing manifolds or stacking cylinders induces maps between skein modules; framed isotopy, rather than unframed Reidemeister-I invariance, is built into this construction.
In the phase convention , the symmetric flavor combination is CP even and the antisymmetric one CP odd. For an equal-diagonal effective matrix with entries b,c off diagonal, choose correlated roots r,s with , and eigenvalues . Its eigenvectors are . Writing gives the displayed CP-basis mixtures, up to an overall phase. Their deviation is small only if ; noninvariance alone does not guarantee that. This convention must not be mixed with one in which flavor exchange carries a minus sign.
Källén–Lehmann spectral density 2026-10-14
The Källén–Lehmann spectral density is the nonnegative invariant-mass measure in a scalar vacuum two-point function. With complete intermediate states it satisfies , with continuous state measures included in the sum. A stable one-particle state of mass , with covariant normalization and squared field overlap , contributes . Other particles and multiparticle states contribute additional nonnegative weight. The isolated pole of the scalar propagator then has residue .
Hereditarily just-infinite profinite group 2026-10-14
An infinite profinite group is hereditarily just infinite if every open subgroup is a just-infinite profinite group. To prove this, it suffices to show that every nonidentity element of every open subgroup has open closed normal closure: any nontrivial closed normal subgroup then contains that normal closure. The Nottingham group is an example. In odd characteristic its depth-commutator formula constructs nonzero elements of each sufficiently high layer inside any such normal subgroup, and successive coefficient correction fills the entire tail.
An irreducible recurrent discrete-time Markov chain with at least two states has everywhere. Removing repeated consecutive states from a positive-probability path proves irreducibility of its discrete-time jump chain. Each sojourn in a state is almost surely finite; infinitely many visits to a recurrent state therefore correspond to infinitely many distinct returning sojourns. The jump chain remains recurrent, although deleting holding times may change periodicity.
The Young–Jucys–Murphy elements commute, and symmetric polynomials in them are central. The full center theorem holds integrally as well as over fields, so it survives modular reduction. On an ordinary Specht module, the scalar of such a polynomial is its value on the cell-content multiset. The integral generation step is stronger than knowing this description only over a characteristic-zero field and is essential in the modular block argument.
Joule-Thomson inversion temperature 2026-10-14
A Joule-Thomson inversion temperature is a temperature at which the Joule-Thomson coefficient is zero at a specified pressure. There can be more than one such temperature at that pressure; distinguish the upper and lower branches from a maximum or a dilute-gas limiting value.
For stress and slip derivative , the steady viscometric functions are , and . Solving the three symmetric xy conformation equations gives , , and .
Johnson-Segalman extensional response 2026-10-14
In uniaxial extensional flow, the conformation equations give and . Their stress difference gives the displayed extensional viscosity. A stable positive steady conformation requires both denominators positive; a first pole marks loss of a bounded steady response. At zero extension rate the Trouton ratio is three relative to the zero-shear viscosity.
A nonzero entire function vanishing at every nonzero point of the integer lattice has at least a constant times zeros in the disc of radius . Each contributes at least to Jensen's formula at radius . Therefore the circle mean of , and hence the logarithm of its maximum modulus, is bounded below by for all sufficiently large boundary-zero-free radii. Choosing maximizing points yields for some and . If zero is also a zero, first factor out its finite multiplicity; the additional term does not weaken the quadratic lower bound.
Jeans support versus forced baryon response 2026-10-14
When baryons are a small fraction of the gravitating matter, their perturbation is forced by the cold dark matter potential. Comparing pressure frequency with yields the scale for following the growing matter mode. It is not an absolute statement that every sub-Jeans baryon perturbation is zero or cannot be forced: a slowly varying response is . In the pressureless limit the difference from CDM is a constant plus a decaying mode during matter domination, so baryons catch up in relative amplitude.
NIRSpec 2026-10-14
NIRSpec provides multiple spectroscopic modes within –. Its time-series modes can measure exoplanet transmission spectra and exoplanet secondary eclipses; individual settings have narrower coverage. See NASA's instrument overview.
For a low-mass singular isothermal sphere satellite on a circular orbit of radius in a singular isothermal sphere host, and . The radial differential effective acceleration is . Balancing it with satellite gravity gives the displayed Jacobi tidal radius and bound mass . Equal mean density gives a different order-one approximation, ; eccentric orbits require an orbital-history prescription.
Jacobi abstruse identity 2026-10-14
The identity between Jacobi theta functions has the oscillator-product form for . In a critical RNS string, dividing this identity by the eight-boson oscillator product proves equality of GSO projection-retained Neveu–Schwarz sector and Ramond sector state multiplicities at every mass level.
Theta function with characteristics 2026-10-14
For real characteristics and , Gaussian decay gives normal convergence, an entire function of and holomorphic dependence on . Integer shifts of alpha leave the function unchanged; a unit shift of beta multiplies it by . Its spatial quasi-periods are and . Binary characteristic labels often mean alpha and beta divided by two, so the convention must be stated.
