The strictly positive case states that a real square matrix with has a positive simple eigenvalue and positive left and right eigenvectors, with all other eigenvalues strictly smaller in modulus. The Brouwer fixed-point theorem applied to on the nonnegative unit simplex gives and . For another eigenvector , maximize ; the triangle inequality gives . Equality forces every modulus ratio and complex argument to agree because every entry is positive, so is proportional to and . Apply the same argument to for a positive left eigenvector; its positive pairing with rules out a generalized eigenvector at , establishing algebraic simplicity. For merely nonnegative matrices a nonnegative leading eigenvector exists. An irreducible nonnegative matrix has a positive leading eigenvector and simple Perron eigenvalue; a primitive nonnegative matrix has the strict modulus gap.
A square nonnegative matrix is irreducible if for each pair there is an integer with . This says that every index can reach every other through positive entries. The Perron–Frobenius theorem then gives a positive leading eigenvector and an algebraically simple eigenvalue. Irreducibility alone permits other eigenvalues of the same modulus: the cyclic permutation matrix has eigenvalues .
Nilradical as the intersection of prime ideals by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
For every commutative ring ,
Every nilpotent element lies in every prime ideal. If is not nilpotent, an ideal maximal among those disjoint from is a prime ideal avoiding , by the Zorn lemma and the maximality argument.
With and invertible , the additional chiral superfield satisfying has . Its Weyl spinor and auxiliary field remain independent. This eliminates the independent scalar. It does not force .
The Landau-de Gennes free energy is a rotational symmetry preserving Landau free energy of the nematic order parameter. One three-dimensional normalization through fourth order is
The cubic invariant generically produces a first-order phase transition. Its absence in two dimensions is an algebraic identity, not a guarantee that a mean-field approximation captures all fluctuations.
Under rotation by a rotation matrix, a symmetric second-rank tensor transforms by conjugation, so its traces of powers are invariant. For a three-dimensional traceless second-rank tensor, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem implies . In two dimensions its eigenvalues are , so . These identities organize the Landau-de Gennes free energy.
Uniaxial nematic order by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-20
A uniaxial nematic order parameter has one distinguished nematic director and equal eigenvalues in its perpendicular plane. In the displayed normalization the eigenvalues are , giving and . Positive and negative describe prolate and oblate orientational anisotropy, respectively; reversing the nematic director leaves the tensor unchanged.
For and any taking the same values at at least two distinct knots, . To prove it, set , integrate by parts on each polynomial interval and use , , continuous and linear exterior pieces. Boundary terms cancel. Expanding the square proves the identity. Equality forces , so is an affine function and its two prescribed zeros make it identically zero.
Let be the interpolating cardinal basis and set . Linearity gives , and this Gram matrix is a positive semidefinite matrix. Its null space consists precisely of vectors , by the null-space statement for the second derivative roughness penalty. Thus its rank is , including the zero matrix when .
Rotating Nambu–Goto string by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
A straight rigidly rotating classical string has speed of light at a free endpoint. Its energy and angular momentum satisfy a Regge trajectory. A segment with one anchored and one free end has , twice the slope of the string with two free ends.
A real Cartier class on a projective scheme is ample if and only if its top self-intersection on every positive-dimensional integral subvariety is positive. For the converse curve tests give nefness. Small ample perturbations and rational approximation give ample rational with satisfying the algebraic Morse inequality for ample divisors, hence bigness. Induction gives ample restrictions on codimension-one subvarieties; uniform ample subtraction from a big divisor with ample exceptional restrictions makes nef. The nef-plus-ample ampleness lemma concludes. For reducible schemes perform the finite component tests simultaneously.
For , a nonnegative entire weak subsolution of a bounded measurable uniformly elliptic divergence-form equation that belongs to for some is zero almost everywhere. Rescaling the local Moser iteration estimate gives . Let .

Monoid automorphism by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-06
A monoid automorphism is a bijective operation- and identity-preserving self-map of a monoid. Its inverse is also a monoid homomorphism. Permuting prime numbers and extending by prime factorization gives all automorphisms of the multiplicative monoid of positive natural numbers; extending by gives automorphisms of the multiplicative monoid including zero.

Embedded primary component by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-07
A component in a minimal primary decomposition is embedded if its radical of an ideal strictly contains another radical occurring in that decomposition. Such components need not be unique. For example,
