Topological conjugacy is a concept from dynamical systems that deals with the relationship between two dynamical systems which are "the same" in a certain topological sense. Specifically, two dynamical systems are said to be topologically conjugate if there exists a continuous bijective map (called a conjugacy) between their state spaces that preserves the dynamics of the systems.
"Dunkelflaute" is a German term that translates to "dark doldrums" in English. It refers to a weather phenomenon that occurs when there is a significant lack of sunlight and wind in a region, leading to a decrease in energy production from renewable sources, particularly solar and wind power. This situation is particularly relevant in the context of renewable energy systems, as it can cause challenges for energy supply and grid stability.
The North Pacific High, also known as the Pacific High or California High, is a semi-permanent high-pressure system located in the North Pacific Ocean. It typically forms during the summer months and can influence weather patterns across the western United States, particularly California, as well as areas in the North Pacific region. Key characteristics of the North Pacific High include: 1. **Formation**: It develops as a result of warm ocean waters and atmospheric conditions, creating a zone of high pressure over the ocean.
The South Pacific High, also known as the South Pacific Anticyclone, is a large-scale high-pressure system that usually forms over the South Pacific Ocean, particularly during the Southern Hemisphere's summer months. It is characterized by relatively stable, dry atmospheric conditions and typically influences weather patterns over a significant portion of the South Pacific region. The South Pacific High plays a crucial role in the climate and weather of surrounding areas, including parts of Australia, New Zealand, and various islands in the Pacific.
A cyclone is a large atmospheric system characterized by rotating winds and low atmospheric pressure, typically forming over warm bodies of water. Cyclones can occur in different parts of the world and are classified into several types, including: 1. **Tropical Cyclones**: These form in tropical regions over warm ocean waters and are categorized into three intensities: tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane or typhoon (depending on the region).
A **horseshoe vortex** is a type of flow structure that commonly occurs around lifting surfaces, such as airfoils or wings, as well as in various fluid dynamics contexts. It is characterized by a looped shape resembling a horseshoe, typically formed due to the circulation of fluid in response to lift generation. ### Characteristics of Horseshoe Vortex: 1. **Formation**: When a wing generates lift, it creates regions of high and low pressure above and below the wing surface.
The term "starting vortex" can refer to a few different concepts depending on the context, particularly in fluid dynamics. However, it is most commonly associated with: 1. **Fluid Dynamics**: In the study of fluid flow, a starting vortex is a phenomenon that occurs when a solid object begins to move through a fluid (like air or water). When the object starts moving, a vortex is formed as the fluid moves around it.
A tropical cyclone is a rapidly rotating storm system characterized by a low-pressure center, a closed low-level atmospheric circulation, strong winds, and organized thunderstorms that produce heavy rains and showers. These storms form over warm ocean waters and usually occur in tropical and subtropical regions. Tropical cyclones are classified into different categories based on their intensity: 1. **Tropical Depression**: A system with organized thunderstorms but with maximum sustained winds of less than 39 miles per hour (63 kilometers per hour).
Whirlpool can refer to several different concepts depending on the context: 1. **Whirlpool Corporation**: This is an American multinational manufacturer and marketer of home appliances, including products such as refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, ovens, and dishwashers. Founded in 1911, Whirlpool is known for its various brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air.
Right ascension (RA) is one of the two celestial coordinates used in the equatorial coordinate system to specify the position of an object in the sky. The other coordinate is declination (Dec). Right ascension is analogous to longitude on Earth and measures the angular distance of an object eastward along the celestial equator from a reference point known as the vernal equinox.
In object-oriented programming, a class function (also known as a class method) is a method that is associated with a class rather than with instances of the class. This concept is most commonly found in languages like Python, Java, and C++, where you can define methods that act on the class itself rather than on individual objects. ### Key Characteristics of Class Functions: 1. **Binding to Class**: Class functions are called on the class itself rather than an instance of the class.
A hyperbolic sector is a region in the plane that is defined by certain properties of hyperbolic geometry, which is a non-Euclidean geometry that arises when the parallel postulate of Euclidean geometry is replaced with an alternative. In hyperbolic geometry, the sum of the angles of a triangle is less than 180 degrees, and there are infinitely many lines parallel to a given line through a point not on that line.
Internal and external angles refer to angles associated with polygons and circles, particularly in the context of geometry. Here’s a brief overview of each: ### Internal Angles Internal angles (or interior angles) are the angles formed inside a polygon at each vertex. For example, in a triangle, the internal angles are the angles that are located within the triangle itself.
Cohomology of a stack is a concept that extends the idea of cohomology from algebraic topology and algebraic geometry to the realm of stacks, which are sophisticated objects that generalize schemes and sheaves. Stacks allow one to systematically handle problems involving moduli spaces, particularly when there are nontrivial automorphisms or when the objects involved have "geometric" or "categorical" structures.
Galois cohomology is a branch of mathematics that studies objects known as "cohomology groups" in the context of Galois theory, which is a part of algebra concerned with the symmetries of polynomial equations. To understand Galois cohomology, we start with a few key ideas: 1. **Galois Groups**: A Galois group is a group associated with a field extension, representing the symmetries of the roots of polynomials.
Kähler differentials are a concept from algebraic geometry and commutative algebra. They arise in the context of the study of a ring \( R \) and its associated differentials with respect to a base field or a base ring. Specifically, Kähler differentials provide a way to study the infinitesimal behavior of functions and their properties on schemes.
Čech cohomology is a mathematical tool used in algebraic topology to study the properties of topological spaces. Named after the Czech mathematician Eduard Čech, this cohomology theory is particularly useful for analyzing spaces that may not be well-behaved in a classical sense.
In the context of category theory, the category of metric spaces is typically denoted as **Met** (or sometimes **Metric**). This category is defined as follows: 1. **Objects**: The objects in the category **Met** are metric spaces.
In category theory, a **discrete category** is a specific type of category where the only morphisms are the identity morphisms on each object. This can be formally defined as follows: 1. A discrete category consists of a collection of objects.

Pinned article: Introduction to the OurBigBook Project

Welcome to the OurBigBook Project! Our goal is to create the perfect publishing platform for STEM subjects, and get university-level students to write the best free STEM tutorials ever.
Everyone is welcome to create an account and play with the site: ourbigbook.com/go/register. We belive that students themselves can write amazing tutorials, but teachers are welcome too. You can write about anything you want, it doesn't have to be STEM or even educational. Silly test content is very welcome and you won't be penalized in any way. Just keep it legal!
We have two killer features:
  1. topics: topics group articles by different users with the same title, e.g. here is the topic for the "Fundamental Theorem of Calculus" ourbigbook.com/go/topic/fundamental-theorem-of-calculus
    Articles of different users are sorted by upvote within each article page. This feature is a bit like:
    • a Wikipedia where each user can have their own version of each article
    • a Q&A website like Stack Overflow, where multiple people can give their views on a given topic, and the best ones are sorted by upvote. Except you don't need to wait for someone to ask first, and any topic goes, no matter how narrow or broad
    This feature makes it possible for readers to find better explanations of any topic created by other writers. And it allows writers to create an explanation in a place that readers might actually find it.
