The Linkage Principle, often associated with fields such as genetics, ecology, and behavioral sciences, generally refers to the idea that certain variables or entities are interconnected in a way that influences their behavior or characteristics. Here’s a more detailed explanation based on different contexts: 1. **Genetics**: In genetics, the Linkage Principle refers to the tendency of genes that are located close to each other on the same chromosome to be inherited together.
The Littelmann path model is a combinatorial framework used to study representations of semisimple Lie algebras and their quantum analogs. Introduced by Philip Littelmann in the mid-1990s, this model provides a geometric interpretation of the representation theory through the use of paths in a certain combinatorial structure.

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!
Intro to OurBigBook
. Source. We have two killer features:
- 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-calculusArticles 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.

- to OurBigBook.com to get awesome multi-user features like topics and likes
- as HTML files to a static website, which you can host yourself for free on many external providers like GitHub Pages, and remain in full control
