Cotangent space Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
The cotangent space at is the dual vector space . Its elements are covectors on the tangent space. In a manifold chart , the basis is dual to . Under a coordinate change to , the coefficients of obey . The disjoint union of these spaces is the cotangent bundle.
For a nonnegative integer-valued variable, and the tail-sum formula gives . For arbitrary positive real values, that integer-indexed sum equals instead. Two independent constants equal to demonstrate that the product of such tail sums need not equal the tail sum of their product: the two sides are four and three.
Residual synchronous-gauge freedom Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
Preserving under the scalar gauge transformations with a background lapse requires and . Thus arbitrary spatial functions remain after imposing synchronous gauge in cosmology. This freedom can generate changes in the remaining scalar metric perturbations.
Symplectic vector field 2026-10-06
A vector field on a symplectic manifold is symplectic when its flow preserves the symplectic form. Infinitesimally this is . By Cartan's magic formula it is equivalent to . A Hamiltonian vector field has an exact contraction with the form, so is symplectic. On the standard two-dimensional torus, contracts to the closed but nonexact form , providing a symplectic non-Hamiltonian example.
Direct-product decomposition of the cube symmetry group Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
The symmetry group of a cube splits into its central inversion and its rotational symmetry group of a cube. Inversion has determinant , the rotation subgroup has determinant , and together they generate the full group with trivial intersection. The rotation subgroup acts faithfully on the four body diagonals and is isomorphic to . Consequently the full group is this direct product of groups.
Groups of order p squared q are not simple 2026-10-06
For distinct primes , the Sylow theorems force a proper nontrivial normal subgroup in any group of order . If , the Sylow -subgroup is unique. If and both Sylow counts were nontrivial, the count congruences force . In order twelve, four Sylow -subgroups exhaust eight nonidentity elements; only three remain for a Sylow -subgroup, making that subgroup unique. Thus the group is not a simple group.
Frattini argument Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
If is a normal subgroup of a finite group and a Sylow subgroup of , thenNormality puts every inside , and Sylow conjugacy there gives . Hence normalizes , giving the factorization. This reduces questions about to a normaliser and its normal subgroup.
Dilute rod suspension 2026-10-06
In the non-interacting dilute limit, the particle contribution to bulk stress is number density times the orientation average of the particle stresslet tensor. Alignment, tumbling, rotational diffusion and interactions determine the orientational distribution and hence the excess viscosity.
First-claim decomposition for survival probability Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
In a classical risk model, before the first claim at time , available capital is . A claim of size leaves future survival probability by the Markov property. Integrating over the independent first-arrival exponential distribution and claim density gives .
Translating surfactant-coated bubble 2026-10-06
A spherical inviscid bubble moving slowly through a viscous liquid has a dipolar surfactant perturbation. The associated Marangoni stress reduces the tangential velocity from its clean-bubble value towards zero. In the linear regime, with , the consistent Newtonian fluid stress tensor gives .

If a Killing horizon generator has constant nonzero surface gravity , write with affine. The equation implies , so shifting the affine origin gives .
Level-set normalization of a surface delta 2026-10-06
If is smooth and on , transverse local coordinates give . Thus as distributions. In particular . Omitting this Jacobian confuses the delta of a defining function with a geometric surface delta distribution.
Spherical surface measure convolution 2026-10-06
For the geometric surface delta distribution on the radius- sphere in , . Angular integration gives the Fourier transform , with removable value at zero. The convolution of distributions with a compactly supported factor gives the regular distributionThis density has total mass . Values on endpoint spheres do not affect the distribution. When , the inverse-distance singularity is locally integrable in three dimensions and is not an additional point mass. The annulus expresses the triangle inequality for the sum of two vectors of fixed lengths.
Effort support Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-25
An effort support is the support of a probability distribution used to randomize effort in a contest. The all-pay indifference equation with random entry determines this support together with its distribution function.
Massive N=1 vector multiplet 2026-10-06
A four-dimensional massive vector multiplet contains one spin-one particle, two spin-one-half particles and one real spin-zero particle. Its on-shell state counts are bosonic and fermionic. These masses agree in an unbroken supersymmetric vacuum. The supersymmetric Higgs mechanism assembles it from a massless vector multiplet and one chiral superfield per broken gauge generator.
Kick-direction binary survival criterion Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-25
For an impulsive supernova kick in a binary star initially in a circular Kepler orbit, let be the remaining total mass fraction and the kick speed divided by the original relative speed. The displayed post-kick specific orbital energy is negative for a bound pair and positive for escape. Over all directions, the velocity factor ranges from to . Some direction leaves a bound pair exactly when ; some direction permits positive-energy escape exactly when . Equalities are marginal parabolic Kepler orbits. The circular initial orbit and impulsive approximation are essential.

Scalar superfield transformation Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
With left Grassmann derivatives, let and . Left-placed odd parameters generate , and . A scalar superfield transforms by pullback under this superspace translation. The parameter-weighted variation is an even derivation, although each supercharge is odd.
At fixed scale factor and unchanged relativistic counts, instantaneous conversion of a relic into thermal radiation gives the displayed entropy-density enhancement. It exceeds one because the gas receives energy from outside its prior equilibrium sector. This does not contradict cosmological entropy conservation, whose source-free reversible assumptions fail during decay and thermalization.
