Character of a Weyl-vector multiple Created 2026-10-05 Updated 2026-10-07
For a complex semisimple Lie algebra and an integer , the Weyl character formula and Weyl denominator formula give
Apply the dilation to the denominator identity to obtain the numerator. Cancellation leaves a finite geometric series for each positive root of a root system. Evaluating the resulting polynomial at all formal exponentials equal to one gives the dimension, without taking an undefined quotient at the identity.
For and a bounded smooth domain, a Dirichlet Laplacian eigenfunction with eigenvalue satisfies the displayed estimate. A signed power test for a Laplacian eigenfunction and the zero-boundary Sobolev inequality give a Moser iteration with exponents . The geometric series gives the exact power of , while controls the remaining constant. The constant depends only on dimension, because the zero-boundary Sobolev inequality follows by extension by zero to the whole space.
If is irrational and are real, the fractional parts of form an equidistributed sequence. In the Van der Corput lemma, every nonzero-lag correlation of is a geometric series with irrational frequency and tends to zero. The Weyl criterion then applies.
Eventually periodic positional expansion of a rational number Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-10-03
A positional expansion in an integer base represents a rational number exactly when its digit sequence is eventually periodic. Long division proves the forward implication because only finitely many remainders occur; summing a periodic tail as a geometric series proves the converse.
Fourier harmonic 2026-10-06
A sinusoidal component at an integer multiple of a fundamental angular frequency. For a -periodic angular coordinate , real Fourier series use and . Summing over equally spaced phases removes every component whose integer is not a multiple of , since in that case. Indeed, the geometric series has ratio and sum . When divides , all terms are one. This cancellation isolates higher-order feedback in resonant conjunction geometry.
Generalized Bell basis 2026-10-07
For a primitive root of unity and labels modulo , the displayed maximally entangled states form an orthonormal basis. Inner products equal , by the geometric series. A nonprimitive root repeats phase labels and does not give a complete orthonormal basis.
For a geometric distribution count on the positive integers, independent of independent and identically distributed random variables , the moment-generating function of is the displayed expression. Condition on the count and sum a geometric series. For real , the finite domain requires and . Positive summands always permit , even when no positive exponential moment exists; this gives a Laplace transform of a nonnegative random variable. The aggregate has no mass at zero when all summands are strictly positive.
Starting Landweber iteration at zero with fixed step , the full data-to-solution coefficient on a singular value is
This follows by summing the scalar geometric series in a singular system of a compact operator. For fixed , near zero and extends with . Its dimensionless damping factor is , so the two common filter conventions must not be confused. Writing uses a discrete parameter sequence; if negative multipliers occur, noninteger real powers are not a definition of the same iteration.
