Cartesian closed monoid 2026-10-14
A monoid encoding a one-object product and exponential structure: pairing is inverse to the map , and currying is inverse to . These bijections imply pairing naturality and currying naturality . The element then satisfies for every , hence is idempotent. Splitting supplies a terminal object and a two-object Cartesian closed category whose endomorphisms at the original object are . For the original object to be nonterminal, must be nontrivial.
Locally Cartesian closed category 2026-10-14
A category with finite limits is locally Cartesian closed when every slice category is a Cartesian closed category. Covariant set-valued functor categories on small categories have this property, using the equivalence between their slices and functor categories on categories of elements.

Write , with the differentiated input index first. The graded Leibniz rule gives . For frames , the connection matrix transforms as and curvature by . Transposing to the usual coefficient-column convention gives and ; the opposite sign is an index convention, not a different curvature.
Missing-count EM for capture-recapture 2026-10-14
Let count individuals never recaptured after release . Partition them into death-interval counts and terminal survivors . Their unnormalized weights are for , and . Conditional counts are multinomial with normalizer . The EM algorithm replaces all missing counts by the displayed conditional expectations, then maximizes the resulting complete-data log likelihood. Survival and detection updates are expected successes divided by expected opportunities. A flat observed-likelihood ridge remains nonidentifiable even if each conditional complete-data maximization is explicit.
Closed-population capture-recapture model 2026-10-14
A closed-population capture-recapture model assumes the same individuals remain throughout the observations: no births, deaths, immigration, or emigration. Its elementary two-sample version additionally requires retained, correctly recognized marks and a second sample chosen by simple random sampling independently of first-sample membership. Mixing and unchanged capture behavior help make this plausible. Equal individual capture probabilities alone do not guarantee that every size- subset is equally likely; that stronger sampling assumption gives the hypergeometric distribution. See Barker, §§1.1.1 and 1.1.3: closure, marks, and catchability assumptions.
Unequal catchability, mark loss, and population change can invalidate this capture-recapture model. For example, if especially catchable individuals appear repeatedly, overlap can be inflated and the Lincoln-Petersen estimator can underestimate population cardinality. Lost marks can decrease recorded overlap and increase the same ratio estimator, all else equal. Two samples alone cannot establish that the sampling assumptions hold.
In a locally small capital regular category, is a regular functor and reflects terminal objects. A well-supported object has a point: otherwise is well-supported with no points, so its diagonal is invertible by well-pointedness; then is subterminal and its regular epimorphism to is invertible, a contradiction. Pulling a regular epimorphism back along a point gives a well-supported object, so the point lifts. This proves preservation of regular epimorphisms, while representability gives limit preservation. If is a singleton, its unique point is monic and contains all points; is well-supported, so that point is invertible. Global sections need not reflect arbitrary isomorphisms between objects of proper support.
Capitalization of a small regular category 2026-10-14
Choose one regular functor witnessing the regular-logic separation of a proper subobject for each proper subobject represented by a monomorphism of the small regular category. Their product is regular and reflects invertibility of monomorphisms. If an arbitrary morphism becomes invertible, its image inclusion becomes invertible and so does the diagonal of its kernel pair. The original morphism is both a regular epimorphism and a monomorphism, hence invertible. The target is a power of sets as a capital regular category. This proves an isomorphism-reflecting regular representation without asserting full faithfulness.
Power of sets as a capital regular category 2026-10-14
Here is a set regarded as a discrete category. Finite limits and regular epimorphisms are coordinatewise. A well-supported object is a family of nonempty sets. With the axiom of choice, every coordinate element extends to a global point of its product. Any subobject containing all global points must therefore contain every coordinate element, and be the whole family. Thus the category is capital. Families with some empty coordinates explain why global points need not reflect arbitrary isomorphisms.
Pinned capillary-wave correlation Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
Adding positive quadratic confinement to the membrane energy changes its height spectrum to . The continuous height-shift symmetry is explicitly broken. Connected correlation function decay on the finite length and the height-difference variance saturates for every internal dimension, although its saturation value can depend on a microscopic cutoff. A negative confinement coefficient gives an unstable quadratic model rather than pinning.
Equality in Cantelli's inequality 2026-10-14
For and , place probabilitiesTheir weighted deviations cancel, giving expected value ; their weighted squared deviations give variance . Only the upper point belongs to , so its tail probability attains Cantelli's inequality. With , , , the locations are two and , with masses and . The optimized shift makes the lower point zero before squaring, explaining equality in the Markov's inequality step.
The threshold convention matters: this example has . For a strict threshold, placing the upper point at instead gives probabilities approaching the same bound as , with the prescribed mean and variance retained. Extra restrictions on the support of a probability distribution can change which extremal models are allowed.
Maroni invariant 2026-10-14
The difference between the two normalized splitting degrees of the canonical scroll of a trigonal curve measures its imbalance. Since a smooth trigonal curve cannot contain the negative section, its intersection with that section is nonnegative. This gives , and parity gives .
Derivative-weighted call delta martingale 2026-10-14
Suppose is bounded and let , . The Novikov condition makes a strictly positive true martingale. For solving the call delta equation for a driftless local volatility diffusion, the product formula givesThe two drift terms cancel through quadratic covariation. Thus is a local martingale. If it is a true martingale on the closed horizon, its terminal value is , soThe upper bound uses . Equivalently, the option delta is the terminal-exceedance probability under the measure with density .
Solutions of one fixed bounded-coefficient uniformly elliptic equation that are bounded in global have a subsequence converging strongly in on every relatively compact subdomain. Local energy bounds and the Rellich-Kondrachov compactness theorem first give local strong and weak convergence on a smooth exhaustion. Pass to the weak equation to identify the limit. Differences solve , so the interior Caccioppoli inequality upgrades the local strong convergence to strong gradient convergence. Global weak convergence preserves the original global bound.
Suppose a compact parameter set carries a locally finite countable multiset of positive quantities, and a fixed injective transform of each labelled quantity is a polynomial in finitely many ambient coordinates. Assume only finitely many labels can have bounded value anywhere in the compact set. Then a uniform finite initial multiset determines the entire multiset. For each source label there are finitely many possible matching labels. Equality for finitely many labels in both directions is a finite union of algebraic sets, obtained from injective matchings and polynomial equalities. These algebraic sets decrease as more labels are included, so they stabilize by the Hilbert basis theorem. A compatible infinite matching in each direction follows by the König infinity lemma, and local finiteness makes multiplicities equal. Squared traces of hyperbolic holonomy representations give the application to the Buser finite length spectrum theorem.

It applies at before removal at the radius in question; the initial state is a delta-function ring. A local angular density needs additional phase information.
Bufferless queue output Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
The work served in one slot is capped at the service rate of a queue. The remainder is lost, so output is input minus its positive part above capacity. Every downstream threshold below the cap has exactly the same overflow event for input and output; thresholds at or above the cap cannot be exceeded by the output.
