Hecke eigenform Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
A Hecke eigenform is a nonzero modular form that is an eigenvector for every Hecke operator. A cuspidal eigenform has nonzero first Fourier coefficient: proves this. Normalize , and then . The Hecke multiplication relations give multiplicativity and the prime-power recurrence of the coefficients.
Uniform precession of a heavy symmetric top Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
A heavy symmetric top precesses uniformly when its inclination is constant and its azimuthal speed is constant. For a nonvertical inclination, the condition is . The real-root condition depends on whether the body axis points above or below the horizontal.
Thermal inertia Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For a homogeneous material, thermal inertia is , where is thermal conductivity, is density and is specific heat capacity. It measures the resistance of the surface temperature to periodic heating and controls the phase lag relevant to the Yarkovsky effect.
Dirichlet boundary-forcing heat-kernel formula Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
If is the zero-Dirichlet heat kernel on an interval for , integration by parts gives
The opposite endpoint signs are essential. Nonzero boundary values are limits of the full formula; evaluating each homogeneous sine mode at the boundary prematurely loses the forcing.
Population hazard of a survival mixture Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
For an equally weighted mixture of individual survivor functions , the population hazard function is . Thus the weights are the surviving proportions, and the cumulative hazard function is , not generally the mean individual integrated hazard.
Harmonic lapse evolution 2026-10-06
For a positive lapse function , shift vector , and the convention for extrinsic curvature of a spatial hypersurface, the time-coordinate harmonic slicing condition yields the displayed advective lapse equation. Combining with the spatial volume evolution identity proves it without setting the shift vector to zero.
If is the space of degree- homogeneous polynomials and its harmonic polynomials, then . Under the Fischer inner product, the second summand is orthogonal to the kernel of the Laplacian. Iteration expresses every polynomial restricted to the unit sphere as a sum of spherical harmonics.
A bounded entire harmonic function satisfies because is a bounded local martingale. The Gaussian heat kernel has a directional derivative with norm . Consequently ; letting proves the harmonic Liouville theorem in every dimension.
Handle decomposition Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
A handle decomposition builds an -dimensional manifold by successively adjoining along . The attaching data comprise an attaching sphere and its framing of an embedded sphere. Reading a decomposition backwards replaces index by index and interchanges its attaching spheres and belt spheres.
This Hamming distance on partitions identifies a group with its complement because exchanging the two group names does not change the partition. Complementation is an isometry of the ordinary Hamming distance, so minimizing over this two-element group action gives a quotient metric and preserves the triangle inequality. Negating a zero-one indicator is not complementation; with membership vectors, it is.
Hamming cube Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
The Hamming cube is , or equivalently , equipped with Hamming distance. Under its uniform probability measure, the distance from a fixed vertex has the binomial distribution with parameters . This converts geometric ball sizes into probability tails.
Weakly Hamiltonian action 2026-10-06
A symplectic Lie group action is weakly Hamiltonian when every fundamental vector field is a Hamiltonian vector field. A Hamiltonian group action additionally supplies Hamiltonians as components of an equivariant moment map. Constants in the component Hamiltonians do not affect their vector fields, but the ability to choose them with the required equivariance is an additional global condition.
An evolution equation has Hamiltonian form when a Hamiltonian operator applied to the variational derivative of a functional gives its time derivative. The induced functional bracket must satisfy the Poisson properties, including Jacobi.
Hamiltonian energy balance Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-25
Along Hamilton's equations, spatial derivatives of the Hamiltonian function cancel in its total time derivative. Thus . An autonomous Hamiltonian function is conserved; explicit time dependence generally prevents conservation even though phase space is still preserved.
Halting set Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
The halting set of a Turing machine is the set of inputs on which it eventually halts. For a deterministic machine with a designated terminal state, eventual halting is invariant along every transition edge, even when that edge is traversed backwards. This observation justifies passing from forward computations to symmetric equality derivations in a semigroup presentation.
Degree-weighted Hall condition Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
In a finite bipartite graph, suppose every left vertex has positive degree and each edge joins vertices with from left to right. Then , so a matching covers the left side.
Constructible subgroup is closed Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
Let be constructible in an algebraic group, and . The closure is a subgroup. Choose a dense open contained in . For every , the dense opens intersect, giving for . Hence and . The Chevalley constructibility theorem therefore proves closedness of homomorphism images.
Dimension formula for an algebraic group homomorphism Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
The kernel is a closed identity fiber. The image is closed because a constructible subgroup is closed. Every nonempty fiber is a kernel translate, so the fiber dimension theorem gives , even for inseparable morphisms.
Algebraic group action Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
This is a group action whose action map is a morphism of varieties. Orbits are locally closed: constructibility gives a relatively open piece, and its translates cover the orbit. An orbit of an irreducible group is irreducible and open in its closure. These facts control degenerations of quiver representations.
