When individual instantons are much narrower than their typical separation, multi-crossing paths factor at leading semiclassical order. Integrating $n$ ordered centers over time $\tau$ contributes ${\tau }^n/n!$. In a double well, crossings alternate direction and even/odd counts yield hyperbolic cosine/sine amplitudes. This approximation requires large action relative to $\hslash$, matched local well structure and control of corrections from interactions and local anharmonicity.

The orientation-reversed Euclidean trajectory of an instanton. In a symmetric double well it goes from the right vacuum to the left vacuum and has the same positive action as the forward crossing. Its topological orientation changes sign, not its Euclidean action.

Given an integral epimorphism $\alpha :{\pi }_1(X)\to \mathbb{Z}$, the Alexander module is the first integral homology of the corresponding infinite cyclic cover associated to an epimorphism, with $t$ acting by its chosen deck transformation. Its order is the greatest common divisor of maximal presentation matrix minors when it is finitely presented and torsion. For the meridional epimorphism of a knot exterior, this is the Alexander module of a knot.

If two nonnegative finite-valued convex functions are defined on all of a finite-dimensional space, their infimal convolution is finite, convex and continuous everywhere. Convex perturbation duality then gives strong duality and dual attainment at every argument. It does not require or imply attainment of the primal decomposition infimum.

With downward buoyancy $b=g\rho \prime /{\rho }_0$ in a uniform rotating Boussinesq approximation, $q=\zeta -f{b}_z/N^2$ is time-independent. The linear pressure obeys ${\nabla }^2{p}_{tt}+f^2{p}_{zz}+N^2{\nabla }_H^{2}p={\rho }_{0}f{N}^{2}q$. The initial potential vorticity supplies the steady pressure source; nonzero-frequency inertia-gravity waves have zero perturbation PV.

If two versions of a stochastic process both have càdlàg paths on an event of probability one, equality at every rational time holds simultaneously outside one null event. Approaching an arbitrary time by rationals from the right then gives equality at every time on the same event. Thus the stochastic processes are indistinguishable. Right continuity suffices; left limits are unnecessary for this conclusion.

This smooth utility has $U^{\prime }(x)=x^{-1}-x^{-2}+x^{-3}/3>0$ and $U^{\prime \prime }(x)=-(x-1{)}^2/x^4$. Its derivative is strictly decreasing, diverges at zero and tends to zero at infinity, so the utility is strictly concave and satisfies the Inada conditions. Yet its curvature vanishes at one. The inverse marginal utility cannot have a finite derivative at $y=1/3$, since differentiating $U^{\prime }(I(y))=y$ there would give zero equal to one. Its dual is differentiable but not twice differentiable at that price.

Integrate the transverse force along a complete straight path: ${\int }_{-\infty }^{\infty }(1+s^2{)}^{-3/2}ds=2$. This gives the transverse kick. Conservation of relative speed gives longitudinal speed reduction $\Delta v_{\perp }^2/(2V)$ at second order. As an independent check, exact weak hyperbolic scattering has angle $2\arctan \eta$, where $\eta =GM/(b{V}^2)$, and reduction $V(1-\cos (2\arctan \eta ))=2V{\eta }^2/(1+{\eta }^2)$. The small-$\eta$ coefficient agrees. Keeping only one half of the encounter in the transverse kick makes this quadratic reduction four times too small.

For a determinant-one lift of a hyperbolic holonomy representation, the squared matrix trace of each fixed group word is a polynomial in the finitely many generator-matrix entries. The displayed identity identifies equal positive lengths with equal squared traces. Lift signs have no effect. Finite choices of length matchings therefore give finite unions of affine algebraic sets.

An adjacency-preserving rooted-tree embedding is an injective vertex map preserving the root and every adjacency. Because each root-to-vertex path maps to a simple path of the same length, vertex depths are preserved. This is more restrictive than a homeomorphic embedding of a rooted tree, which may stretch edges into paths. The branching-depth antichain of rooted trees shows that the adjacency relation is not a well-quasi-ordering.

The cross-lattice sufficient condition for stochastic comparison of two measures:The join and meet are coordinatewise maximum and minimum on a Boolean configuration cube. Normalization factors cancel, so the condition can be checked using unnormalized positive weights.

Attach an orthogonal classical label register to an ensemble. Its quantum mutual information with the quantum system equals the ensemble Holevo quantity. A local quantum channel changes the ensemble states but preserves their labels and probabilities. Data processing for quantum mutual information then proves that the output Holevo quantity cannot exceed the input value.

If a finite extension $B/A$ of number fields has a totally ramified finite prime, the ordinary Hilbert class field $H_A$ is disjoint from $B$. Its base change $B{H}_A/B$ is abelian and unramified at finite primes. Its real places also split, since a split-real unramified extension retains this property under base change. It therefore lies in the ordinary Hilbert class field of $B$, proving $h_A\mid h_B$ even when $A$ has real places.

Selecting a baryonic mass $M_b$ from a normalized cumulative distribution $M_b(<j)\propto j$ fixes a cutoff specific angular momentum $j_d=(M_b/M_{b,\mathrm{tot}})j_{\mathrm{vir}}$. With circular support and dominant enclosed baryonic gravity, the outer radius is $r_d\simeq j_d^2/(G{M}_b)$ and speed $v_d\simeq G{M}_b/j_d$. The mean specific angular momentum is $j_d/2$, which defines a different one-zone radius. The estimate assumes energy dissipation but negligible redistribution of specific angular momentum.

The integrated halo star-formation efficiency is the fraction of a dark-matter halo's reference baryonic mass converted into stars: ${ϵ}_{\ast }=M_{\ast }/(f_b{M}_h)$, with cosmic baryon fraction $f_b$. It is distinct from star-formation efficiency per free-fall time. Cooling, gas supply and retention, stellar feedback and active-galactic-nucleus feedback make it strongly dependent on dark-matter halo mass. With stellar mass-to-light ratio ${{\rm Y}}_{\ast }$, a simple central-galaxy mapping is $L={ϵ}_{\ast }{f}_b{M}_h/{{\rm Y}}_{\ast }$. Changing this efficiency changes both the mapping and the logarithmic Jacobian between the dark-matter halo mass function and the luminosity function.

Graphs in $\mathcal{C}(a,b)$ admit a partition into $a$ total classes, of which $b$ are designated cliques and $a-b$ are designated independent sets. Cross edges are arbitrary and empty classes are allowed. Balanced cross-edge choices give quadratic labelled speed coefficient $1-1/a$. Comparing this count with every $(a+1)$-class type shows that the hereditary colouring number of this class is exactly $a$.

This parameter measures the largest completely unrestricted clique-independent partition class contained in the property. It is zero for bounded-order hereditary classes and infinite for all graphs. For proper unbounded classes it is a positive integer; it differs from the degeneracy-based colouring number of an individual graph.

When a hemispherical wetted front loses liquid at fixed volumetric flux per unit area $F_e$, equilibrium balances inlet flow with $2\pi R^2{F}_e$. The displayed radius exceeds $R_s$ and is stable because inlet flow decreases while evaporating area increases with radius. Porosity affects the adjustment time but cancels from the equilibrium radius.

A modular Hecke algebra is the algebra generated by Hecke operators acting on a specified space of modular forms, with level, weight and coefficient ring fixed. Its Eisenstein ideal encodes congruences with Eisenstein eigenvalues. This arithmetic algebra should not be confused with the generic Hecke algebra of a Coxeter group.

On a closed manifold with a Riemannian metric, a smooth solution of ${\partial }_{t}u+\Delta u=0$ for the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator satisfies the displayed identity by integration by parts. Zero initial data force the solution to vanish, proving uniqueness and the semigroup property for heat evolution.
