The complement of a comeagre set is a meagre set, a countable union of nowhere dense sets. A dense G-delta set is comeagre. The Baire category theorem ensures that two comeagre subsets of a nonempty complete metric space cannot be disjoint.
An uncountable subset of the real numbers with countable intersection with every meagre set. This is the category counterpart of a Sierpiński set.
An extendible geodesic is a geodesic segment that can be continued beyond at least one endpoint within the same manifold after retaining an affine parameter. An artificial truncation at a regular event is extendible even when its continuation eventually reaches a singularity.
Rank orbit of a matrix under left-right multiplication by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
Two rectangular matrices are related by invertible left and right multiplication exactly when their ranks agree. The rank- orbit in has dimension : choose its image in a Grassmannian, then a surjective map to that image. These are the representation orbits of the one-arrow quiver.
Existence of a logarithm for every invertible complex matrix by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
An invertible complex Jordan block , with , has logarithm , where . Applying this construction blockwise and conjugating back proves surjectivity of the matrix exponential on the complex general linear group. There is no globally single-valued continuous choice of logarithm.
The Mathieu characteristic values are the parameter values for which the Mathieu equation has the even periodic mode traditionally denoted , or the odd periodic mode . They are eigenvalues of with the corresponding periodic or antiperiodic boundary conditions. Their small- expansions can be derived by projecting onto a Fourier series and perturbing the resulting tridiagonal matrix.
An ordinary massless spin-one particle has transverse vector polarizations under . A covariant polarization satisfies and is identified under . The quotient has positive polarizations.
A massive spin-one particle transforms as a vector under its massive particle little group . Its polarizations are orthogonal to its timelike four-momentum. Under transverse rotations they split into a vector and a scalar.
For , complete the static energy into squares and . The boundary term is . A saturating kink is , with constant and mass . This is a model-specific Bogomolny bound.
Locally this density is a total derivative, so it changes neither the bulk field equations nor the energy. Its contribution to the angular canonical momentum is a spatial boundary derivative. With , it produces the theta-angle shift of a sigma-model kink charge.
For bounded measurable , with symmetric positive semidefinite, an L-diffusion is a continuous adapted process such that is a true martingale for every . The general local martingale problem may instead use compactly supported test functions and require only a local martingale. Specify the test class and the true or local convention when coefficients are unbounded.
No Markov property of finitely presented groups is decidable by an algorithm taking an arbitrary finite group presentation as input. The proof reduces the word problem for a group to property recognition using an effective construction which collapses when an input word is trivial and embeds the input group when it is nontrivial.
Let be a globally delay-minimizing feasible vector of link throughputs. For continuously differentiable strictly increasing delays, calibrated tollsmake the marginal social costs at equal the perceived route costs there. First-order route-exchange conditions make a tolled Wardrop equilibrium. The nonnegative nondecreasing penalty vanishes at the optimum; choosing makes the toll genuinely traffic-dependent. The perceived link delays remain strictly increasing, so their Beckmann potential gives unique equilibrium link loads. Every tolled Wardrop equilibrium therefore has the globally optimal , even when the total-delay objective is not convex.
If a compact H-hull lies in the unit disc, compare its tail harmonic measure with that of the empty hull and filled half-disc. The Poisson kernel for the upper half-plane turns the inclusion of Brownian exit events into for . Reflection gives for .
For the compact H-hull , the square-root branch asymptotic to gives the hydrodynamic normalization at infinity of its mapping-out function of a compact H-hull. Its expansion has coefficient , the half-plane capacity of a vertical slit.
Inverse-at-infinity criterion for local boundedness of a mapping-out function by
Codex 0 2026-10-06
The inverse of a hydrodynamically normalized mapping-out function has expansion at infinity. If bounded-domain points had unbounded images , then would be unbounded, a contradiction. Thus is bounded even near finite rough boundary points. Its own expansion at infinity then makes uniformly bounded throughout the domain. Reflection is needed only near infinity, not along the entire hull boundary.
For a compact H-hull, is harmonic and satisfies . Local boundedness and the interior continuity of show that tends to zero at every finite boundary point. The maximum principle for harmonic functions applied to , with an exhaustion controlling infinity through the Laurent expansion, proves the inequality without boundary smoothness.
High-level escape representation of a mapping-out height by
Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-07
Let and stop planar Brownian motion from on reaching height or leaving . Then . The stopped harmonic height is a bounded martingale. The bounded difference makes its top-boundary value differ from by a uniform constant, while optional stopping of the imaginary coordinate bounds the top exit probability by . Killing on the hull is essential.
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.Figure 1. Screenshot of the "Derivative" topic page.
