Naive polynomial height Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The naive height of a polynomial is the largest absolute value of its coefficients. For a primitive polynomial in , this equals the projective height of its coefficient vector.
Conservation of quantum probability Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If the probability current of a normalizable wavefunction vanishes at spatial infinity, integrating the probability continuity equation over all space shows that the total probability is constant in time.
Characteristic hypersurface Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
A hypersurface is characteristic for a differential equation at when its principal symbol vanishes on the conormal :
It is non-characteristic where this quantity is nonzero.

Submodule theorem for free modules over a principal ideal domain Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Every submodule of a finite-rank free module over a principal ideal domain is free. Induction on rank splits off a generator of the image under one coordinate projection and applies the result to the kernel.
Principal divisor with one simple zero and one simple pole Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If distinct points on a smooth projective curve satisfy , then is a finite morphism of degree one. Such a morphism between smooth projective curves is an isomorphism, so has genus zero. Hence no divisor on a curve of positive genus is principal.
Divisor class on the projective line Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Every degree-zero divisor on the projective line is principal. Indeed, if and is a homogeneous linear form vanishing at , then makes
a degree-zero rational function with . Consequently, two divisors on are linearly equivalent exactly when they have the same degree.
Gauss lemma for polynomials Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
Over a UFD, products of primitive polynomials are primitive and factorization over the fraction field descends after content is removed.
Strong aperiodicity of the Möbius function Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The Möbius function stays far in pretentious distance from every Archimedean character. One useful uniform form is
This follows by estimating the prime sum .
Halász theorem Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Halász's theorem bounds the mean of a bounded multiplicative arithmetic function in terms of its least pretentious distance from an Archimedean character. A large mean can occur only when this distance is small.

For , equilibrium outer radius , and a bubble gas obeying , the linearization is
The bubble therefore undergoes simple harmonic motion with
Radial acoustic resonance in a spherical annulus Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
The ideal pressure-forced response becomes resonant when
equivalently . Damping regularizes the divergent linear response and introduces a nonzero phase lag and mean supplied power.
Entropy lower bound for prefix codes Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Every binary prefix code has expected length at least its source entropy; Shannon lengths achieve expected length strictly below .
Cumulative Shannon code Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
Order source probabilities as , put
and take the first binary digits of as the codeword for symbol . Since for , two cumulative probabilities cannot lie in the same dyadic interval selected by the earlier codeword. The resulting code is prefix-free.
Shannon-Fano coding Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
Shannon-Fano coding comprises two related prefix code constructions. Shannon coding assigns lengths to symbols of probability ; Fano coding recursively partitions the ordered symbols into groups of nearly equal total probability and assigns a bit at each partition.
