With an intercept present, a categorical predictor having represented levels adds linearly independent indicator columns and therefore model degrees of freedom.
In a Gromov-hyperbolic geodesic metric space, every quasigeodesic segment stays within a uniformly bounded Hausdorff distance of a geodesic segment with the same endpoints. The bound depends only on the hyperbolicity and quasigeodesic constants.
The bounded-distance conclusion is a property of a Gromov-hyperbolic metric space, under the geodesic and quasigeodesic hypotheses stated here.
When the shared resource is , Bell outcomes leave the receiver with , respectively, up to global phases.
A deterministic finite-dimensional universal programmable quantum gate cannot implement every unitary exactly: programs for physically distinct unitaries would have to be mutually orthogonal, but a finite-dimensional program register contains only finitely many mutually orthogonal states.
This is a restriction on programmable quantum circuits and their unitary operators, rather than a statement about the existence of classical program descriptions.
Variational characterization of quantum conditional entropy by

The quantum conditional entropy has the relative-entropy representationwhere the minimum ranges over density operators on .
For every state on ,The upper bound follows from Subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy and the lower bound from the Araki–Lieb inequality.
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.
For bipartite density operators,This is a consequence of Strong subadditivity of Von Neumann entropy.
Quantile coupling for convergence in distribution by

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.
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.
A Majorana fermion operator is a self-adjoint operator in a fermionic algebra satisfying . A single complex fermionic mode can be written using two such operators:The canonical anticommutation relations verify their Hermiticity and normalization, and the occupation is .
This algebraic rewriting is always possible for a complex mode. A spatially separated Majorana zero mode requires additional physical properties, including localization and near-zero commutator with the Hamiltonian. The existence of two Majorana operators in a formula alone therefore does not establish protected boundary states or a topological phase.
A Bogoliubov--de Gennes Hamiltonian is the matrix representation of a quadratic fermion Hamiltonian in a Nambu spinor combining annihilation operators and creation operators. It treats ordinary one-particle motion and fermionic pairing in one eigenvalue problem.
For a column of fermionic annihilation operators, let and . With , defineThe canonical anticommutation relations give the identityThe factor compensates for the full particle-hole doubling; the trace constant follows when the hole block is normal-ordered.
A two-by-two opposite-spin pairing blockhas eigenvalues , as follows from its characteristic polynomial. Pairing opens a spectral gap at . Negative and positive partners in a fully doubled representation are related by Particle-hole symmetry of a Bogoliubov--de Gennes Hamiltonian; they are not independent species of physical quasiparticles. A reduced block and a full doubled basis therefore require consistent counting conventions.
Minimal polynomial of a purely inseparable element by

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 by

Let and let be infinite, with an injection available. In the propositional logic with variables , no finitary theory has as its models exactly all total injections , represented by their true pairs. Fix and suppose axiomatizes that entire class. Adjoin for every .
Every finite subset of these extra requirements is satisfiable together with : start with any total injection and permute so that the value at avoids the finitely many forbidden values. The propositional compactness theorem then supplies a model of in which has no value, a contradiction.
The requirement that all total injections be models is essential. A theory can certainly force totality by specifying a particular injection, with one axiom for each . What fails is a finitary axiomatization of the full unrestricted class. Conditions saying at most one value per input and at most one input per value are expressible by pairwise prohibitions.
