Algebraic concordance group over a field Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The algebraic concordance group over a field is the Witt group of nonsingular Seifert forms over , modulo metabolic forms.
Metabolic Seifert form Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A nonsingular Seifert form on a -dimensional space is metabolic when it vanishes on a -dimensional subspace called a metabolizer.
The metabolizer is a half-dimensional subspace on which the Seifert form restricts to zero.

Chern-Simons current Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The Chern-Simons current satisfies . It is not gauge invariant even though its divergence is.
In four dimensions this current is dual to the degree-three Chern-Simons form.
The number of trees in a wired uniform spanning forest is almost surely constant. This follows from its tail triviality together with the fact that every component is infinite.
Wilson algorithm rooted at infinity Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Wilson's algorithm rooted at infinity builds the wired uniform spanning forest on a transient graph by successively adding loop-erased random walks, run forever when they never hit the forest already constructed.
Projective unitary representation Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Because state vectors differing by a quantum phase represent the same ray, a unitary realization of a group action need only satisfy
A projective unitary representation is a projective representation whose chosen representatives are unitary operators. The phase factors disappear on rays.

The killing measure assigns the weight of the transition from to a cemetery state.
Eberlein-Šmulian theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a subset of a Banach space, relative weak compactness is equivalent to every sequence having a weakly convergent subsequence. In particular, weak compactness and weak sequential compactness coincide.
High-degree divisor is very ample on a smooth projective curve Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
On a smooth projective curve of genus , every divisor of degree at least is very ample. Riemann--Roch shows that its sections separate distinct points and tangent directions by comparing with and .
Tensor divergence theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Applying the divergence theorem componentwise to yields a boundary traction term and a volume contraction.

A line integral integrates a scalar or tangential vector-field component along a curve.
Green theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
Green’s theorem converts circulation around a positively oriented planar boundary into the area integral of scalar curl.
Surface integral Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A surface integral uses the area element induced by a parametrisation to integrate over a surface.
Stokes theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Let be an oriented smooth surface with piecewise smooth boundary, and let be a continuously differentiable vector field on a neighborhood of . With the compatible boundary direction determined by the right-hand rule,
For on the horizontal unit disc with upward normal, the left side is times its area, giving . The counterclockwise boundary has tangential field of magnitude one and circumference , giving the same line integral. Reversing the surface normal reverses the boundary direction and both signs. The theorem replaces a circulation calculation with a surface integral of the curl, whichever is easier.
Fundamental theorem for line integrals Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For a continuously differentiable function and a piecewise smooth parametric curve from to ,
The chain rule converts the integrand into , then the fundamental theorem of calculus supplies the endpoint difference. This is why a conservative vector field has a path independent line integral. For , every path from to gives , provided it lies in the domain where the potential is defined.
