For a quartic inflaton potential, an endpoint field of order the unreduced Planck mass leaves density of order $\lambda M_P^4$. If prompt, efficient reheating converts it to equilibrium radiation, $\rho =({\pi }^2/30)g_{\ast }{T}_R^4$ gives the displayed scaling. With the potential-only endpoint estimate ${\varphi }_e=M_P/\sqrt{\pi }$, the coefficient is $[15/(2{\pi }^4){]}^{1/4}$. End-of-inflation kinetic energy changes that coefficient by order one, and delayed transfer or incomplete thermalization requires a reheating model rather than the potential alone.

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of Krull dimension $d$. Its formal power series ring $B=A[[x]]$ is Noetherian and local, with maximal ideal $I=\mathfrak{m}B+(x)$ and embedding dimension $d+1$. Since $I$ is generated by $d+1$ elements, the Krull height theorem gives $\dim B\le d+1$. For the reverse inequality choose a strict prime chain ${\mathfrak{p}}_0⊊\cdots ⊊{\mathfrak{p}}_d=\mathfrak{m}$ in $A$. Finite generation of each ${\mathfrak{p}}_i$ gives $B/{\mathfrak{p}}_{i}B\cong (A/{\mathfrak{p}}_i)[[x]]$, an integral domain, so each extended ideal is prime. The inclusions remain strict by contraction to $A$, and $\mathfrak{m}B⊊I$ adds one more step since $x\notin \mathfrak{m}B$. This proves $\dim B=d+1$, equal to its embedding dimension, and hence regularity.

In a regular local ring of dimension $d$, a regular system of parameters is a list in the maximal ideal whose images form a residue-field basis of $\mathfrak{m}/{\mathfrak{m}}^2$. The Nakayama lemma shows that it generates the maximal ideal. At a smooth closed point over an algebraically closed field, these are the local parameters in all dimensions, extending the single local parameter on a smooth algebraic curve.

For a regular value $q$ of a smooth map $f:M\to N$, let $F=f^{-1}(q)$. The differential of a smooth map identifies the quotient vector bundle $TM{|}_F/TF$ with the fixed target tangent space $T_{q}N$ over every point of $F$. After choosing a Riemannian metric, that quotient identifies with the normal bundle. Hence the normal bundle is trivial even when the target manifold has no global orientation.

A nonempty regular level set $f^{-1}(0)$ for a real smooth function has both positive and negative values immediately beside any of its points, by the inverse function theorem. On its complement the function never vanishes, so the positive and negative regions are disjoint nonempty open sets partitioning that complement. Hence the complement is disconnected. This is a global necessary condition beyond local embeddedness or coorientation.

For fixed $r,\ell \ge 3$ and $rn$ even, a prescribed graph cycle in the configuration model has two ordered distinct half-edges at each of its vertices. Therefore its expected count is $(n{)}_{\ell }[r(r-1){]}^{\ell }/[2\ell {\prod }_{j=0}^{\ell -1}(rn-2j-1)]$. Conditioning on the chosen cycle leaves degrees $r-2$ at its vertices and $r$ elsewhere; forbid further edges along that cycle. The bounded-degree pairing avoidance estimate changes by $o(1)$, so the simplicity probability conditional on the cycle divided by the unconditional probability tends to one. The displayed expectation therefore holds for the uniform simple graph, not just the unconditioned pairing model.

Let $p$ be prime and set $s=2p-2$. If a bipartite graph has edge-disjoint perfect matchings $M_0,\dots ,M_{\sigma -1}$ on nested nonempty vertex sets, and $|V(M_{i+s})|>s|V(M_i)|/(s+1)$, then the union of $s+1$ consecutive matchings in a graph has maximum degree at most $2p-1$ and more than $(p-1)|V(M_i)|$ edges. The prime-regular subgraph from Boolean polynomial constraints gives a $p$-regular subgraph. Its perfect matching decomposition gives a $k$-regular subgraph for every $k\le p$. If none exists, every $s$ steps shrink the vertex set by factor at most $s/(s+1)$, bounding $\sigma$ by a constant times $\log n$.

The support of an object $A$ in a regular category is the subterminal object appearing as the image of a morphism in a regular category of $A\to 1$. A regular functor preserves this construction. In the Category of sets, the support is the empty set if $A$ is empty and a singleton otherwise.

A capital regular category, in the convention of Definitions 1.1–1.3, is a regular category whose well-supported objects are well-pointed objects in a category. It does not require arbitrary objects to be detected by global points. A partially ordered set with finite meets, regarded as a category, is capital: its only well-supported object is the top element. Such a category can have many proper subterminal objects, all with no points. This example distinguishes the definition from the stronger convention that the global-sections functor reflects every isomorphism.

For a small category that is a regular category, use a sort for each object, an operation for each morphism, and regular theory axioms describing finite limits and regular epimorphisms. Its models are regular functors into the Category of sets. For a proper subobject $m:S\hookrightarrow A$, the sequent asserting $\forall x:A\exists y:S,m(y)=x$ cannot be derivable, since its categorical interpretation would make $m$ a cover and hence invertible. The chase completeness for regular logic supplies a model where it fails. It is essential to allow empty sorts.

The boundary simplicial complex of the cross-polytope has vertices $\pm e_i$, and its faces choose at most one vertex from each opposite pair. Radial projection identifies its geometric realization with the round sphere $S^n$. It is a regular antipodal triangulation of a sphere and is useful as a target for signed vertex labels: a vertex map is a simplicial map precisely when no edge receives opposite labels.

The reflexive closure of a binary relation $R\subseteq A\times A$ is $R\cup {\Delta }_A$, where ${\Delta }_A=\{(a,a):a\in A\}$. Every reflexive relation containing $R$ must contain the diagonal, so this is the least such extension.

The inclusion of compact Hausdorff spaces in topological spaces has a left adjoint. Its unit $X\to RX$ is universal among continuous functions from $X$ to compact Hausdorff spaces and has dense image. Completeness follows from products in a category and closed equalizers. For any map $X\to K$, its closed image has a dense subset of cardinality at most $|X|$ and hence cardinality at most $2^{2^{|X|}}$. Representatives of all such compact Hausdorff spaces and maps establish the solution-set condition, so the general adjoint functor theorem gives the reflection. The unit need not be injective or a topological embedding for an arbitrary $X$.

In the symmetric resonant cubic amplitude equation, put $A=\sqrt{r}{e}^{i\Omega t}$, $B=C{e}^{i\Omega t}$, with $d_R>0$, ${\beta }_R<0$. The transverse equation is $\dot{C}=-(d+\beta r)C-\beta r\overline{C}$. Its real matrix has trace $-2(d_R+{\beta }_{R}r)$ and determinant $|d{|}^2+2rQ$, where $Q=\mathrm{Re}(\beta \overline{d})$. A positive steady threshold requires $Q<0$; a simple zero eigenvalue also requires $Q\ne Q_{\ast }={\beta }_R|d{|}^2/(2d_R)$. A Hopf bifurcation requires $Q>Q_{\ast }$, giving a positive determinant at $r_H$. For $Q<Q_{\ast }$ the first instability is steady, producing reflection-related mixed phase-locked periodic branches. For $Q>Q_{\ast }$ it is Hopf, producing modulated oscillations, generically quasiperiodic in the original variables. Equality is a double-zero degeneracy.

A planar rotation about a point on the axis of a Euclidean reflection, composed after that Euclidean reflection, is a Euclidean reflection whose axis has been rotated by half the rotation angle. In coordinates centred at the fixed point, with the original axis horizontal, write $S=\mathrm{diag}(1,-1)$. ThenThis matrix fixes the direction $(\cos (\alpha /2),\sin (\alpha /2))$ and reverses its perpendicular direction. The axis is an unoriented line, so its angle is defined modulo $\pi$.

For $1\le k\le n\le q$, choose distinct evaluation points $a_1,\dots ,a_n$ in a finite field ${\mathbb{F}}_q$ and nonzero coordinate multipliers $v_1,\dots ,v_n$. The generalized Reed-Solomon code isMultiplying coordinates by nonzero field elements preserves Hamming weight, so this is a linear code with parameters $[n,k,n-k+1]$, just as for a Reed-Solomon code. In particular it is a maximum distance separable code.

Its dual code is ${\mathrm{GRS}}_{n-k}(a,u)$, where one may takeA common nonzero multiplier on all $u_i$ gives the same dual code. For $k=n$ the dual code is the zero code, interpreted as having no nonzero evaluation polynomials.

Let $n=q-1$ and let $\omega$ be a primitive root of unity in ${\mathbb{F}}_q$. The length-$n$ cyclic code with consecutive zeros of a cyclic code ${\omega }^b,\dots ,{\omega }^{b+n-k-1}$ has dimension $k$. It equals the generalized Reed-Solomon code of vectors $({\omega }^{j(1-b)}f({\omega }^j){)}_{j=0}^{n-1}$, $\mathrm{deg}f<k$. The choice $b=1$ is the unweighted Reed-Solomon code on these evaluation points; allowing other offsets makes this family closed under dual codes.

For based spaces there is a natural bijection $[\Sigma X,Y]\cong [X,\Omega Y]$. A map on the suspension sends a point $x$ and suspension coordinate $t$ to a loop $t\mapsto f(x,t)$; the collapsed ends and basepoint give based loops. The reverse construction evaluates such loops. The two constructions commute with based homotopies. Applied to spheres it gives ${\pi }_{n+1}Y\cong {\pi }_n\Omega Y$.

An octet operator between baryon octet states has two reduced matrix elements, because the tensor square of the SU(3) adjoint representation contains two octets. The symmetric invariant $d_{ris}$ and antisymmetric invariant $f_{ris}$ give independent component tensors. Equivalently, represent baryons by traceless matrices $B$ and let the operator act as $F[t_i,B]+D(\{t_i,B\}-\frac{2}{3}\mathrm{tr}(t_{i}B)I)$. Normalization choices are absorbed into $F,D$; Hermitian operators permit real coefficients in a Hermitian octet basis.

For positive matter and vacuum fractions with ${\Omega }_m+{\Omega }_{\Lambda }=1$, redshift drift vanishes when $s^2={\Omega }_m{s}^3+{\Omega }_{\Lambda }$, $s=1+z$. Factoring out the trivial observer root $s=1$ leaves ${\Omega }_m{s}^2-{\Omega }_{\Lambda }s-{\Omega }_{\Lambda }=0$, giving the displayed positive root of a polynomial. It lies at a positive redshift exactly when ${\Omega }_m<2/3$. It is independent of the Hubble constant at fixed density fractions and is not the redshift of the acceleration-to-deceleration transition.
