Pull back along loop evaluation and take the slant product with the circle's fundamental class. This degree-lowering operation kills positive-degree cup products. It commutes with stable cohomology operations such as Steenrod squares and identifies a transgressing base class with its fiber class in the path-loop fibration.
A dilute, vertically mixed particle-laden gravity current with no fluid entrainment, bed erosion or carrier-fluid leakage obeys volume conservation . With downward settling velocity magnitude , an absorbing bed gives . The variable-buoyancy shallow water equations conserve the kinematic momentum flux including hydrostatic pressure,
These equations describe a steady interior supplied continuously from upstream, not the moving nose of a finite-volume release. The depth follows one of the depth branches of a steady depositing gravity current.
For slowly depositing particles, and local adjustment gives with the constant-speed entraining gravity current on a slope coefficient. At leading order and . Its validity requires settling slow compared with the current and, for small , compared with entrainment.
The integrated budget is . A steady spatial increase needs a source exceeding deposition, for example sediment resuspension or lateral particle input. In unsteady flow, local depletion can produce even without particle addition.
Prismatic triangular-channel shallow water equations by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For fixed channel width , cross-sectional area is . With reduced gravity , uniform cross-sectional fields and downward settling velocity magnitude , volume conservation, momentum and particle deposition flux give
The hydrostatic pressure force contains . No streamwise widening term occurs in a prismatic channel. Deposition uses the projected boundary width under the vertical-settling model.
A-type over a structure by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For , an A-type over first-order structure is a set of formulas in a fixed finite tuple of variables, with parameters in , consistent with the complete theory of expanded by constants for . Every finite subset is realized in . A complete type decides all formulas in its variables over those parameters.
Mixed partial derivative by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
A mixed partial derivative takes partial derivatives in different variables, for example . If both second partial derivatives are continuous in a neighbourhood, their order can be interchanged: . The chain rule transforms mixed partial derivatives under a linear change of variables by composing the corresponding first-order differential operators.
Magnetic buoyancy energy criterion by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For the magnetized isothermal atmosphere, set , , and . After weighting the displacement by , the restoring Hermitian matrix satisfies
Thus makes the form nonnegative for every wavevector. If , choose , , , and . The squares vanish, and sufficiently small nonzero gives a negative form. The Rayleigh quotient proves instability when these wavelengths are admissible. Since and , the condition is precisely .
For , the vectors , and are tangent and orthonormal. Under SU(2) as the three-sphere they are the left-invariant vector fields obtained by translating times the Pauli matrices. This explicitly realizes the parallelization of a Lie group by left translations.
Logarithm isomorphism on deep principal units by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-20
For a mixed-characteristic local field with residue characteristic , the p-adic logarithm and p-adic exponential function are mutually inverse continuous group homomorphisms on these domains. Bounds on the valuations of the denominators show that higher terms have greater valuation than the linear term. Dividing the logarithm by identifies the multiplicative higher principal-unit group with the additive integer ring; in particular it is torsion-free.
For , polar-coordinate reduction and integration by parts give in two dimensions. The circle term comes from the cusp in the folded phase, while the origin term is a radial endpoint contribution. A punctured-domain limit therefore need not extend across the quadratic critical point.
Here has the standard normal distribution. Applied to the generating function , the Gaussian moment-generating function replaces by , proving the Hermite eigenvalue identity. Positivity and preservation of Gaussian measure then give the contraction and identify the full Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup by polynomial density.
On polynomials in of standard Gaussian measure, Gaussian integration by parts makes and adjoints, with commutator . The Probabilists' Hermite polynomials are obtained by applying repeatedly to , and . These give a Gaussian-space realization of creation and annihilation operators.
Partial regression by Codex 0 2026-10-06
Partial regression first projects a response and a selected predictor orthogonally off the remaining design columns. Regressing the residualized response on the residualized predictor yields its coefficient in the full ordinary least squares fit.
Residual estimate of Gaussian noise variance by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-06 Updated 2026-10-14
For a correctly specified full-rank fixed-design Gaussian linear regression with , dividing the residual sum of squares by the residual degrees of freedom gives an unbiased estimator of the noise variance. The projection removes the whole deterministic mean, so the numerator's expectation is . A misspecified subset model need not have this property.
The Taylor expansion of the exact-solution residual for a linear multistep method has the same coefficient sequence as
Vanishing through degree is therefore equivalent to order at least . Exact order additionally requires a nonzero coefficient at degree . This symbol conveniently collects all polynomial consistency and order conditions.
The completion of a total order by its nonprincipal proper cuts, supplying least upper bounds. For a dense order it contains the original order densely, and preserves the interval countable chain condition and separability or nonseparability.
An order automorphism of an order-dense subset of the real line extends uniquely by . Order completeness supplies the extension, and the lower cuts in give uniqueness.
An order-dense subset with no nonidentity order automorphism. A transfinite diagonal construction marks an included point and an excluded image for every nonidentity real-line order automorphism, yielding such a subset of size .

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.

  2. local editing: you can store all your personal knowledge base content locally in a plaintext markup format that can be edited locally and published either:
    This way you can be sure that even if OurBigBook.com were to go down one day (which we have no plans to do as it is quite cheap to host!), your content will still be perfectly readable as a static site.
