Principal sl2 subalgebra Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A principal sl2 subalgebra of a semisimple Lie algebra has semisimple generator . Restriction to it packages a representation's weights into ordinary weight strings.
The infinitesimal embedding is a subalgebra of the semisimple Lie algebra; integrating it to a Lie-group homomorphism is a separate group-level construction.

Semimartingale decomposition Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A semimartingale has a decomposition into a local martingale and an adapted finite-variation process . Under standard normalizations the decomposition is unique.
Finite-variation process Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
A process has finite variation on compact intervals when every sample path has finite total variation of a function there. Such a process can be integrated pathwise by the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral.
