For a finite number field $L/\mathbb{Q}$ with a rational basis ${\omega }_1,\dots ,{\omega }_n$, the norm form is the homogeneous polynomial

An embedding of $K({\alpha }_1,\dots ,{\alpha }_i)$ extends across ${\alpha }_{i+1}$ by sending it to a root of its transformed minimal polynomial. There are between one and the relative degree many choices, with equality for a separable extension.

Distinct field embeddings ${\sigma }_1,\dots ,{\sigma }_n:L\to \Omega$ are linearly independent over $\Omega$ as functions on $L$. Thus a nontrivial linear combination ${\sum }_i{a}_i{\sigma }_i$ cannot vanish on every element of $L$.

For the proof, choose a vanishing relation with the fewest nonzero coefficients and normalize one coefficient to one. If ${\sigma }_1\ne {\sigma }_m$, choose $y$ with ${\sigma }_1(y)\ne {\sigma }_m(y)$. Evaluating at $xy$ and subtracting ${\sigma }_m(y)$ times the relation evaluated at $x$ eliminates its $m$th term but leaves a nonzero first coefficient, contradicting minimality.

A connected Feynman diagram has a path between every pair of its vertices. Normalized correlation functions discard disconnected vacuum bubbles, while full correlators can still factor into disconnected components carrying external insertions.

The loop order of a connected Feynman diagram is the number $L=I-V+1$ of independent momentum cycles, where $I$ is the number of internal lines and $V$ the number of vertices. Each loop introduces an unconstrained momentum integral.

A tree-level diagram has no loops and gives the leading classical contribution allowed by the interaction vertices.

Feynman rules translate each diagram into momentum-space factors for propagators, vertices, external states, momentum conservation and loop integration.

A ferromagnetic magnon is a quantized spin wave. Without a linear restoring term its long-wavelength frequency is proportional to $k^2$.

Easy-plane anisotropy penalizes spin components normal to a preferred plane, leaving a low-energy angular degree of freedom within that plane.

A Fermi gas consists of noninteracting fermions whose one-particle states are occupied according to the Fermi-Dirac distribution.

For a Fermat prime $p=2^{2^k}+1$, the multiplicative group modulo $p$ has order $2^{2^k}$. Its $\phi (p-1)=(p-1)/2$ primitive roots are all quadratic nonresidues; since there are also $(p-1)/2$ nonresidues, the two sets coincide.

Lenz's law expresses the minus sign in Faraday's law of induction: the induced electromotive force drives a passive resistive loop's electric current in the direction whose own magnetic field opposes the imposed change in magnetic flux. It opposes the change of flux, not invariably the external magnetic field. Choose an oriented surface and its positive boundary direction first, find the sign of $d{\Phi }_{\mathrm{ext}}/dt$, and then use the right-hand rule to translate the signed electric current into a physical direction. ^[ref].

In the fixed-loop example in Faraday's law of induction, out-of-page magnetic flux increases at $0.0060Wb/s$. With counterclockwise positive, $I=-0.0030\mathrm{A}$ is clockwise, producing an in-page magnetic field through the loop. Reverse the ramp to $B(t)=0.40\mathrm{T}-(0.30T/s)t$ on the same one-second interval: now $\mathcal{E}=+0.0060\mathrm{V}$ and $I=+0.0030\mathrm{A}$. The counterclockwise electric current produces an out-of-page magnetic field, supporting the decreasing external magnetic flux. A steady out-of-page magnetic field with fixed loop geometry gives no induced electromotive force in either direction.

For the increasing-area example in motional electromotive force, clockwise electric current runs down the right-hand rod. Its magnetic force on a current-carrying wire points left, opposing the imposed motion to the right. Writing $I_{\mathrm{mag}}=B\ell v/R$ for the current magnitude, the power required to maintain constant speed isThus the sign agrees with conservation of energy: the external drive supplies the Joule heating. The magnetic forces do no work on individual charges; mechanical work by the drive supplies the electrical energy. This also explains the usefulness of electromagnetic braking of a sliding rod and the terminal speed of a falling conducting loop. ^[ref].

The sign of induced electromotive force alone does not determine an arbitrary circuit's instantaneous electric current. Retaining constant self-inductance $L$ gives $LdI/dt+RI=-d{\Phi }_{\mathrm{ext}}/dt$, so a pre-existing electric current can persist while the induced drive opposes its change. The distinction matters in the lossless limit of magnetic loop braking. The resistive toy examples use $L=0$ as an approximation, not a general consequence of Lenz's law.

For a film of thickness $h$ flowing down a slope of angle $\alpha$, an upslope surface stress of magnitude $\tau$ givesThe surface velocity, total flux, and basal shear reverse atrespectively.

The extremal number $\mathrm{ex}(n,H)$ is the largest number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph containing no subgraph isomorphic to $H$.

A differential form $\alpha$ is closed when $d\alpha =0$.

For fixed positive integer $r$, the failures-before-the-$r$th-success distribution is a one-parameter exponential family withand carrier $h(x)=\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{x+r-1}{x}\right)$.

The deviance from ${\theta }_1$ to ${\theta }_2$ is twice the Kullback-Leibler divergence:

For an expected value parameter $\mu >0$ and a shape parameter $\lambda >0$, the inverse Gaussian distribution has probability density functionIts mean is $\mu$ and its variance is ${\mu }^3/\lambda$.

The cumulant function, or log-partition function, is the normalizing termwith a sum in the discrete case.

In the canonical representation$\theta$ is the natural parameter and $T$ is the natural statistic.
