A symmetric two-tensor satisfying this equation gives a quadratic geodesic first integral. Examples include the Riemannian metric, symmetric products of metric-dual Killing vector fields, and the square of a Killing-Yano two-form.

For the incompressible velocity $u_x=\alpha y$, $u_y=-\beta x$ in a shearing sheet, advection produces $-\alpha \beta (x,y)$ and the Coriolis acceleration produces $(2\Omega \beta x,2\Omega \alpha y)$. Including the radial tide $2\Omega Sx$ gives $p/\rho =(A{x}^2+B{y}^2)/2+C$. A material ellipse has $\beta =r^2\alpha$. A vortex patch is immersed in surrounding fluid, so this pressure need not vanish on its boundary; imposing that condition would describe a different free-boundary problem.

The material-boundary and vorticity conditions give $\alpha =S/[r(r-1)]$ and $\beta =Sr/(r-1)$. A pressureless particle subject to linear drag, Coriolis acceleration and tidal gravity has the drag-polynomial stability for all positive stopping rates with $K=2\Omega (2\Omega -S)$, $L=\Omega (\alpha +\beta -S)$ and $P=\alpha \beta$. In Keplerian shear, $K/{\Omega }^2=1$, $L/{\Omega }^2=3(r+1)/[2r(r-1)]$ and $P/{\Omega }^2=9/[4(r-1{)}^2]$. The exact criterion is $r\ge 3$, including the boundary $K=L>P$ at $r=3$. Attraction is local to the centre under the prescribed interior velocity field; a trajectory leaving the patch cannot be followed using that field alone.

A bracket smoothing state chooses one of the two unoriented smoothings at every crossing of a link diagram. Its weight is $A^{a-b}{\delta }^{s-1}$ in the reduced Kauffman bracket, where $a,b$ count the smoothing types and $s$ counts resulting circles. The all-$A$ and all-$B$ states choose the same smoothing type at every crossing.

The Temperley-Lieb diagram algebra is generated by planar cap-cup tangles, with composition by stacking and each closed circle replaced by $\delta$. Its local relations $e_i^2=\delta e_i$ and $e_i{e}_{i+1}{e}_i=e_i$ make the second and third Reidemeister moves direct algebraic identities for $R_i=AI+A^{-1}{e}_i$ when $\delta =-A^2-A^{-2}$.

The maximal estimate used in the classical Kakeya set problem asks, for every $\epsilon >0$, for a bound from $L^n({\mathbb{R}}^n)$ to $L^n(S^{n-1})$ with loss at most ${\delta }^{-\epsilon }$. Constants may depend on dimension and $\epsilon$, but not tube thickness or the function. Applied to an indicator function of a neighborhood of a Kakeya set, it gives the Kakeya Minkowski dimension conjecture.

For a finitely generated torsion Iwasawa module, its characteristic ideal is the product of the height-one prime ideals raised to the lengths of the corresponding localizations. In the elementary-divisor description it is generated by $p^{\sum a_i}\prod f_j^{b_j}$. It is unchanged by finite modules and multiplicative in short exact sequences of torsion modules.

The product of charge conjugation and a half-turn in isospin is G parity. Both conjugations act on the isospin generators by $(J_1,J_2,J_3)\mapsto (-J_1,J_2,-J_3)$, so their product commutes with every generator. The Schur lemma therefore gives a common G-parity value throughout each irreducible isospin multiplet on which the operator acts internally. It can classify a charged multiplet even though individual charged states are not eigenstates of charge conjugation.

Weak isospin labels representations of the SU(2) factor in the electroweak gauge group. A left-handed lepton doublet has $T=1/2$ with third-component eigenvalues $+1/2,-1/2$; a right-handed charged-lepton singlet has $T=0$. Along with electric charge, the third component determines the weak neutral current through $T^3-Q{\sin }^2{\theta }_W$.

For an isonormal Gaussian process $X$ on a real Hilbert space $H$ and $k\in H$, the positive density $\exp (X(k)-\Vert k{\Vert }^2/2)$ has expectation one and defines an equivalent probability measure. Under this measure, $X(h)$ has mean $⟨h,k⟩$ and the same covariance as before. The shifted family $X(h)-⟨h,k⟩$ is again an isonormal Gaussian process. This follows by evaluating the joint Gaussian exponential formula for any finite collection of arguments. It is the Hilbert-space version of exponential tilting.

For nonnegative field $g$, the bulk quasiparticle gap is $2J|g-1|$. At $g=0$ the dispersion is flat, $2J$; at large $g$ it is $2Jg-2J\cos k+O(J/g)$. At $g=1$ it becomes $4J|\sin (k/2)|$, linear near the gapless point. The finite periodic spin chain has additional global excitation constraints; a single isolated domain wall is not an allowed closed-chain spin configuration.

The vacuum of the diagonal Bogoliubov quasiparticles has the displayed energy. In the thermodynamic bulk, $E_0/N=-J(2\pi {)}^{-1}{\int }_{-\pi }^{\pi }\sqrt{1+g^2-2g\cos k}dk$. The Hellmann–Feynman theorem then gives the field magnetization ${\sum }_n⟨S_n^z⟩={\sum }_{k}J(g-\cos k)/{ϵ}_k$. Sector-dependent finite-chain boundary terms must be restored when exact finite-size levels are needed.

In a Noetherian ring, an irreducible ideal is a primary ideal. In its quotient, if $xy=0$ and $x\ne 0$, choose $r$ after the annihilators of powers of $y$ stabilize. Then $(x)\cap (y^r)=0$, so irreducibility forces $y^r=0$. Combined with finite decomposition into irreducible ideals, this proves the Lasker–Noether theorem.

A consumption satisfaction stock smooths past consumption by ${\xi }_t=e^{-\lambda t}{\xi }_0+{\int }_0^t{e}^{-\lambda (t-s)}{c}_{s}ds$. Unlike multiplicative habit utility, the running utility function may depend on this stock alone. A unit of present consumption raises future consumption satisfaction while costing one unit of financial portfolio wealth.

When the market price of risk is constant and nonzero spot volatility gives access to the driving Brownian motion, changes in volatility only rescale the dollar holding needed for fixed Brownian portfolio exposures. With unrestricted holdings and constant interest and discount rates, the CRRA utility value is consequently independent of the factor state. Zero volatility requires separate treatment.

A fixed loan principal contributes a constant interest outflow $h$. If the objective stops when available portfolio wealth reaches zero, the value function has an absorbing boundary $V(0)=0$. This differs from requiring the portfolio to finance the debt service forever.

For a chi-squared-one variable $Y$, the positive inverse branches of $h(x)=\lambda (x-\mu {)}^2/({\mu }^{2}x)$ have product ${\mu }^2$. Weight a branch value $x$ by $\mu /(\mu +x)$; the two weights sum to one. Multiplying the chi-squared density by this weight and the branch Jacobian gives the inverse Gaussian density on both sides of $\mu$.

For $X\sim IG(\mu ,\lambda )$, $h(X)=\lambda (X-\mu {)}^2/({\mu }^{2}X)$ has the chi-squared-one law. Its two inverse branches contribute weights $\mu /(\mu +x_{-})$ and $\mu /(\mu +x_{+})$ to the transformed density, and reciprocal roots make those weights sum to one.

For a compact three-manifold $W$, let $L=\ker (H_1(\partial W;{\mathbb{F}}_2)\to H_1(W;{\mathbb{F}}_2))$. The boundary intersection pairing satisfies $L^{\perp }=L$: the long exact sequence in relative homology identifies $L$ with boundaries of relative surfaces, and the boundary-interior adjoint identity identifies its orthogonal complement with the same kernel. Hence $2\dim L=\dim H_1(\partial W;{\mathbb{F}}_2)$. This also implies that a closed surface with odd first mod-two Betti number, such as ${\mathbb{RP}}^2$, cannot be the entire boundary of a compact three-manifold.

For an intersection-free uniform set family of rank $r$, fix $X\in \mathcal{F}$. The map $A\mapsto X\cap A$ on $\mathcal{F}\setminus \{X\}$ is injective and its image is an antichain in $\mathcal{P}(X)$: a containment $X\cap A\subseteq X\cap B$ would violate intersection-freeness on the distinct members $X,A,B$. The Sperner theorem then proves the displayed bound.
