Exact null distribution of a rank sum Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
Under the continuous common-distribution null of the Wilcoxon rank sum test, pooled labels are exchangeable. The product records every choice of ranks: choosing assigns rank to the first sample. Its indicated coefficient counts subsets of size and rank sum . Divide by and sum the lower tail for the one-sided P-value. Equivalently the counts satisfy with , allowing an exact integer computation.
Normal approximation for a rank sum Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
With and no ties, sampling ranks without replacement gives the displayed mean and variance. For observed rank sum below its mean, a continuity-corrected lower-tail statistic is . Ties of sizes replace the variance by . These formulas concern the raw rank sum; the Mann–Whitney U test statistic subtracts from both the observation and its mean.
Collar neighbourhood 2026-10-14
A collar neighborhood identifies a neighborhood of the boundary with , with the boundary at parameter zero. It allows a manifold's boundary to be pushed slightly inward by a homotopy.
One-variable main conjecture for CM elliptic curves Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
At a good split prime, the one-prime CM division tower has a pro- Galois group isomorphic to . Its prime-ramified Iwasawa module is torsion on each finite-character component. The main conjecture identifies its characteristic ideal with the corresponding elliptic-unit p-adic L-function. The class-field unit sequence and equality of characteristic ideals of global-units modulo elliptic-units and of class groups prove the identification. The cyclotomic Selmer formulation requires the appropriate CM twist and two-variable specialization; the one-prime tower is not the cyclotomic tower.
Iwasawa theorem on local cyclotomic units Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For the real p-power cyclotomic tower, take norm limits of local principal units and closed cyclotomic-unit subgroups. The corrected Coleman logarithm identifies with the Iwasawa algebra of . On a symmetric cyclotomic unit it gives . A topological generator generates the cyclotomic-unit limit and the augmentation ideal, yielding the quotient description. This local calculation does not alone identify the characteristic ideal of the global Galois module.
In the real cyclotomic tower, the class-field unit sequence gives , where is the p-ramified Iwasawa module and the unramified one. The modules are torsion over each one-variable character component. Splitting the four-term sequence into two short exact sequences proves the displayed identity by multiplicativity of characteristic ideals. The Iwasawa theorem on local cyclotomic units computes analytically. Thus the main conjecture for is equivalent to ; local interpolation alone does not prove this remaining global equality.
Fredholm lacunary series 2026-10-14
This lacunary series is analytic for and satisfies . At roots of unity of -power order, its radial tail diverges, giving a dense set of singularities on the unit circle and excluding algebraicity as a function. The Mahler method proves transcendence of its values at every algebraic with . At , reduced truncations have denominators and error less than twice their th power; for , the Roth theorem gives a shorter proof.
Taylor constraint 2026-10-14
In inviscid magnetostrophic balance within an impenetrable axisymmetric container, with no azimuthal buoyancy or external mechanical torque, the cylindrically integrated Lorentz force density must vanish on every cylinder coaxial with rotation. The azimuthal pressure derivative integrates to zero, and the cylindrical Coriolis integral is proportional to net radial flux, zero by incompressibility and impermeability. Multiplying by cylinder area and lever arm gives the equivalent zero-torque form. This rotating-fluid condition is distinct from magnetic-helicity relaxation to a force-free plasma state. Its original primary source is Taylor's 1963 rotating-fluid paper.

The stationary neutral curve is . No vertical boundary conditions are imposed in this plane-wave calculation.
Magnetic flux separation Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
In nonlinear magnetoconvection, magnetic flux separation is coexistence of weak-field regions with vigorous broad convection and strong-field regions with inhibited or small-scale convection. Flux expulsion provides a mechanism for segregation. Conserved mean vertical magnetic flux implies for an idealized two-region area fraction . Weak field in convecting regions therefore requires enhanced field elsewhere. The existence and stability of the segregated state depend on parameters and boundaries.
Subcritical magnetoconvection means finite-amplitude convection on the stable side of the linear conductive-state threshold. At large magnetic Reynolds number, flux expulsion can reduce interior magnetic inhibition enough to sustain a nonlinear convective cell even when infinitesimal disturbances decay in the unredistributed imposed field. Stable subcritical states can produce hysteresis and magnetic flux separation. A schematic saturated amplitude equation , , has an unstable lower branch and stable upper radial branch for , coexisting with stable . This illustrates bistability; it is not a derivation of coefficients for all magnetoconvection geometries.
The ratio of magnetic diffusivity to thermal diffusivity controls their relative relaxation times. In nonrotating vertical-field magnetoconvection, oscillatory linear onset in the simple stress-free layer requires , so thermal perturbations diffuse faster than magnetic perturbations. This is distinct from the magnetic Prandtl number, .

Five-mode vertical-field magnetoconvection Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
A Galerkin method approximation can retain one roll streamfunction mode, two temperature modes and two magnetic-flux perturbation modes in vertical-field magnetoconvection. Projection onto these five modes, rather than pointwise equality of the truncated fields, gives a closed system of five ordinary differential equations. Products generate higher spatial harmonics that are discarded by orthogonal projection. The system has symmetry and hence admits paired steady roll branches.
Quasistatic vertical-field magnetoconvection Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
When the magnetic field supplies instantaneous damping rather than an evolving magnetic perturbation, the roll amplitudes obey a two-variable linear system with trace . Its determinant vanishes at the displayed stationary threshold. Therefore its initial instability cannot be a Hopf bifurcation. This reduced model must not be confused with a three-variable magnetoconvection model carrying finite magnetic diffusivity and an additional oscillatory mode.

Higher spatial harmonics generated by the quadratic terms are discarded, so this is a projected approximation rather than an exact invariant subspace of the original equations.
Kernel of the magnetic X-ray transform in degrees zero and one Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
For a smooth Anosov magnetic flow on a closed oriented surface, a smooth function plus a smooth one-form can be a smooth flow coboundary only when the function is zero and the one-form is exact. Equivalently their sum has zero integral along every closed orbit precisely in that case, using the smooth Livšic theorem. This is the nontrivial magnetic transform kernel theorem. Exact one-forms give the converse directly, since . The theorem does not require pointwise negative Gaussian curvature.
