Mixed finite difference of a polynomial Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If has degree and leading coefficient , then for nonzero steps ,
Consequently a degree- polynomial cannot be the sum of functions each periodic with some nonzero period.
Hereditarily countable set Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A set is hereditarily countable when its transitive closure is countable. These sets form the transitive set and all have rank below .
Formula relativization to a class Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The relativization of a formula is obtained recursively by restricting every quantifier to :
For parameters in , the ambient statement holds exactly when the structure satisfies .
Basic set-theoretic axioms inherited by a transitive class Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If a transitive class contains the empty set and is closed under pairing and union, then satisfies extensionality, empty set, pairing, and union. Transitivity makes all members of each visible inside , so the ambient witnesses have the same required membership relations internally.
Nondegeneracy of the trace form of a number field Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For nonzero , choose . Then
so the trace form is nondegenerate.
Positive semidefinite trace ball Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The positive semidefinite trace ball of radius is
It is closed and convex, and for every .
Initial segment Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
An initial segment contains every element below each of its elements.
Greatest element Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
An element is greatest when every element of the ordered set is less than or equal to it.

For the standard longitude and meridian ,
Cox construction Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Toric divisor Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Each ray of a fan determines a torus-invariant prime divisor . Integer combinations of these divisors encode line bundles and maps from a toric variety.
Toric morphism Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A lattice homomorphism that maps each cone of one fan into a cone of another induces an equivariant morphism of the corresponding toric varieties.
Hirzebruch surface Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The Hirzebruch surface is the ruled surface
It is the smooth toric surface with rays .
Weighted projective plane Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
This is a two-dimensional weighted projective space. The weighted projective plane is the quotient of by . It is generally singular but is a proper toric surface.
Smoothness criterion for a toric variety Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An affine toric chart associated with a cone is smooth exactly when the primitive ray generators of extend to a lattice basis. For a two-dimensional cone generated by , this is equivalent to .
Proper toric variety Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
A toric variety is proper exactly when its fan is complete.
Orbit-cone correspondence Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The orbit-cone correspondence assigns to every cone a torus orbit of codimension . In particular, maximal cones correspond to torus-fixed points.
