Quotient metric by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
The quotient metric is the largest metric on a quotient set for which the quotient map is non-expansive. It is obtained by taking infima of lengths of chains that may jump freely within equivalence classes.
Non-expansive map by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
A non-expansive map between metric spaces is a function such that .
The complete theory of infinite-dimensional vector spaces over a fixed finite field is aleph-zero-categorical: every countably infinite model has countably infinite dimension and is therefore isomorphic to every other such model.
Nonstandard model of the additive integers by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-28
Compactness gives a countable model elementarily equivalent to that contains a nonzero element divisible by every positive standard integer. It is not isomorphic to , so is not aleph-zero-categorical.
Finite limit by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
A finite limit is a categorical limit whose indexing category has finitely many objects and morphisms.

Continuum hypothesis by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
The continuum hypothesis asserts that every infinite subset of the real numbers is either countable or equinumerous with the real numbers, equivalently .

Product-sum comparison lemma by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
In ZF, let be nonempty. If injects into , then there is either an injection or a surjection from to .
Indeed, extend the inverse of the given injection to a surjection by sending points outside its range to one fixed pair . If the second coordinate of restricted to the -summand covers , it is the required surjection. Otherwise choose that it misses. Every then has its preimage in the -summand. Except possibly for the default pair, that preimage is unique, so these preimages inject into . In the exceptional case they inject into ; either their image is all of , yielding a surjection from , or an omitted point extends the map to an injection from .
Fundamental class by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-14
For an oriented closed connected -manifold, the fundamental class is the unique generator of that restricts to the orientation generator in every local homology group.
Leading term of an ordinal by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-06
The leading term is the highest-exponent term in Cantor normal form; the remaining tail is strictly below .
Belinfante-Rosenfeld stress-energy tensor by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-05
The Belinfante-Rosenfeld construction adds the divergence of a spin-current superpotential to the canonical stress-energy tensor, producing a symmetric conserved tensor with the same integrated four-momentum under suitable boundary conditions.
Poisson canonical link by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For a Poisson mean , the natural parameter is , so the canonical link is the logarithmic link .

Partial isometry by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
An operator on a Hilbert space is a partial isometry when it is isometric on . Equivalently, is the orthogonal projection onto this initial space.
Positive element of a C-star algebra by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
An element of a C-star algebra is positive when for some , equivalently when and . Continuous functional calculus gives it a unique positive square root .
Relevance of independent self-sums by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
If is -relevant to and are mutually independent copies, then is -relevant to . The entropy submodularity for three independent sums implies

Irreducibility of the accessible subset automaton by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-24
For distinct accessible subset states, choose a state in their symmetric difference. A word taking it to the unique final state accepts from one subset; uniqueness of the starting state prevents acceptance from the other. Thus the accessible part of the subset automaton is irreducible.
