Counting matrices with a fixed primary polynomial Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
Fix an irreducible polynomial f of degree d with nonzero constant term. In , the number of matrices whose minimal polynomial is a power of f is . The primary matrix centralizer formula is identical to the unipotent centralizer formula over , and summing reciprocal centralizer orders reduces to counting nilpotent matrices by the Fitting decomposition.
Primary ideals can need more generators than the maximal ideal Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
In the Noetherian local ring with maximal ideal , the embedding dimension is two but needs generators for every . The degree- monomials generate , and their images form a basis of , so no smaller generating list exists. These ideals are -primary: if and , then cannot be a unit; hence and . Consequently embedding dimension bounds the minimum over all maximal-primary ideals, because the maximal ideal itself is eligible, but does not bound the number of generators of each such ideal.
Transversality of derivative-exponential primary vertices Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For free embedding bosons, the operator product expansion of the stress tensor with has a cubic pole . Its vanishing is precisely the primary condition, with weight . The two-derivative closed-string vertex has the two displayed transversality conditions from its holomorphic and antiholomorphic cubic poles. Being primary does not require ; that extra condition follows when a physical integrated vertex must have conformal weights .
Primary state Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A primary state is a simultaneous eigenvector of with eigenvalues that is annihilated by all positive modes of both Virasoro algebras. Negative modes generate descendants. The state–operator correspondence identifies it with a primary operator inserted at the origin.
Delta replication from a local-volatility pricing equation Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
Let a sufficiently smooth satisfy the pricing equation for a local volatility model, and assume its proposed holdings are stochastically integrable. Hold stocks and units of the bank account. Their value is . The Itô formula and the pricing equation giveThus the holdings form a self-financing strategy with terminal value , rather than merely a decomposition of today's value. This is a delta hedge. If , the replicating strategy has nonnegative wealth and satisfies the standard admissible trading strategy lower-bound condition. The stock and bank wealth amounts are and ; they differ from the numbers of asset units held.
With and , a local volatility pricing equation becomes the displayed backward equation. Central finite differences and the explicit Euler method give . Nonnegative weights require and . Under these conditions the update is a convex combination, yielding maximum-norm stability. With smooth coefficients, positive diffusion, fixed positive remaining maturity and suitable consistent boundary treatment, its ordinary error is . Volatility bounds alone do not imply all this regularity or a Greek error expansion.
Prequantum line bundle 2026-10-14
A prequantum line bundle is a Hermitian line bundle over a symplectic manifold with unitary connection on a vector bundle of the displayed curvature. With , a local connection is . Reversing the Hamiltonian-vector-field convention or passing to the dual line bundle reverses the corresponding curvature convention. Integrality of on closed two-cycles is the topological existence condition.

Carathéodory's extension theorem 2026-10-14
A premeasure on an algebra of sets extends to a measure on the generated sigma-algebra. The extension is unique when the premeasure is sigma-finite.
Frame coreflection of a preframe monoid 2026-10-14
For a commutative monoid object in preframes, the indicated subset is a frame. Its bottom is , its binary join is , and its directed joins and finite meets are inherited. Every homomorphism from a frame regarded as a join monoid factors uniquely through this subset. This gives a coreflective subcategory.
Prefix scan Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-20
A prefix scan computes successive accumulated results for an associative operation while keeping input order fixed. A scan based on addition produces prefix sums; one based on matrix multiplication produces successive ordered matrix products. Associativity allows regrouping, while commutativity is unnecessary because the order stays fixed. If an initial empty prefix is included, its value is the identity element for the chosen operation.
The ability to compute accumulated results does not by itself allow subtraction of two prefixes. For example, two accumulated minima cannot reveal a block minimum: the lists and both have successive minima , but the minimum of positions two through three is seven for one and two for the other. Prefix sums support block recovery because addition has additive inverses; an arbitrary associative operation need not have that property.

Prefix tree of a code 2026-10-14
The prefix tree of a code has vertices corresponding to prefixes of codewords, with one edge for each next symbol. The root represents the empty word. In a prefix code, complete codewords are leaves, and their depths are their codeword lengths.

Prefix code for a rare geometric success Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-10-25
For a success index with geometric distribution of parameter , write , . Encode by ones followed by zero, then encode in exactly bits. This prefix code has length . Since , its expected length is the displayed expression, at most . Thus a very rare success can be communicated in approximately the logarithm of its inverse probability, rather than one bit per trial.

On , observe only . Before and at the observed lifetime, the natural filtration cannot distinguish any two surviving outcomes. The predictable sigma-algebra on positive times therefore consists exactly of sets whose trace on is for a Borel set , and whose trace on is arbitrary product-Borel. To prove sufficiency, is predictable because is left-continuous and adapted; on , insert a rational with and use the predictable rectangles .

For odd , set and . Powerful embedding gives . Modulo , commutators with are central and have exponent dividing , so when . Also the power map is a surjective homomorphism. First find a root modulo , then multiply it by successive corrections in . The process terminates for a finite p-group, and converges for a pro-p group with separated power filtration.
