Dimension bound for quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For every state on ,The upper bound follows from Subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy and the lower bound from the Araki–Lieb inequality.
Continuity bound for quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If and , thenThe proof couples the two states through their positive and negative differences, then combines concavity of quantum conditional entropy with the entropy bound for a binary mixture.
Concavity of quantum conditional entropy Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For bipartite density operators,This is a consequence of Strong subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy.
Quantile coupling for convergence in distribution Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If at every continuity point of , then the generalized inverses satisfyat every continuity point of . Since a monotone function has only countably many discontinuities, evaluating all quantiles at one uniform random variable gives an almost-sure coupling of the corresponding convergence in distribution.
Inverse transform sampling Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
If has a uniform distribution on and is the quantile function of a cumulative distribution function , then has the desired probability distribution. Indeed, right continuity givesso . This short argument works for both jumps and smooth cumulative distribution functions. MIT's continuous-probability notes introduce the inverse-transformation construction. [ref]

.For the three-value example, send to , to , and to . These intervals have exactly the desired widths , , . For the density example, output : for , . Independent uniform draws give independent random variables after this deterministic transformation. This direction of construction works even when has jumps; applying the probability integral transform in the other direction requires its own continuity hypotheses.

Minimal polynomial of a purely inseparable element Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An element is purely inseparable over exactly when its minimal polynomial has the formTo prove the nontrivial direction, repeatedly factor a zero formal derivative through until the remaining irreducible polynomial has nonzero derivative. Since has only the root , that remaining separable polynomial must be linear.

Compactness obstruction to expressing totality over an infinite codomain Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
With atoms , finitary propositions can enforce that the true pairs form an injective partial function. If the codomain is infinite, they cannot enforce that every has a value: adjoining every remains finitely satisfiable, so compactness produces a model omitting .

Projective variety with a prescribed-dimensional singular locus Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For , take an -dimensional irreducible projective variety with one singular point and form its product with . The Segre embedding makes the product projective, and its singular locus is the singular point times , of dimension . A quadric cone works in dimension at least two and a cuspidal cubic works in dimension one.
Irrelevant ideal of projective space Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
In the standard graded homogeneous coordinate ring of , the irrelevant ideal isIt vanishes only at the origin of the corresponding affine cone, which does not represent a projective point.
It is the polynomial-ring instance of the irrelevant ideal of a graded ring.
