The Mori–Nagata theorem is a result in algebraic geometry, particularly concerning the structure of algebraic varieties and their properties under certain conditions. Named after Shigeo Mori and Masayuki Nagata, the theorem deals with the existence of a specific type of morphism called a "rational map" between varieties.

In the context of mathematics, particularly in the fields of algebra and number theory, a **multiplicatively closed set** is a subset of a given set that is closed under the operation of multiplication. This means that if you take any two elements from this set and multiply them together, the result will also be an element of the set. Formally, let \( S \) be a set.

Novikov ring by Wikipedia Bot 0
In mathematics, a Novikov ring is a specific type of algebraic structure that arises in the context of algebraic topology and homological algebra, particularly in the study of loop homology and more generally in the theory of algebraic spaces that involve formal power series.
A **parafactorial local ring** is a specific type of local ring that possesses unique factorization properties in a manner that extends the concept of unique factorization in integers or principal ideal domains (PIDs). To understand a parafactorial local ring, let's start breaking down the key components involved: 1. **Local Ring**: A local ring is a ring that has a unique maximal ideal.
Principal ideal by Wikipedia Bot 0
In the context of abstract algebra, specifically in ring theory, a principal ideal is a specific type of ideal in a ring that can be generated by a single element. Formally, let \( R \) be a ring and let \( a \) be an element of \( R \).
The 20th century saw significant contributions from Polish physicists in various fields, from theoretical physics to experimental work. Here are some notable figures and their contributions: 1. **Maria Skłodowska Curie (1867-1934)** - Although much of her work was completed in the early 20th century, she is renowned for her pioneering research on radioactivity, a term she coined.
A **Principal Ideal Domain (PID)** is a special type of integral domain in the field of abstract algebra. Here are some key characteristics of a PID: 1. **Integral Domain**: A PID is an integral domain, which means it is a commutative ring with no zero divisors and has a multiplicative identity (usually denoted as 1). 2. **Principal Ideals**: In a PID, every ideal is a principal ideal.
A **principal ideal ring** (PIR) is a type of ring in which every ideal is a principal ideal. This means that for any ideal \( I \) in the ring \( R \), there exists an element \( r \in R \) such that \( I = (r) = \{ r \cdot a : a \in R \} \). In other words, each ideal can be generated by a single element.
Test ideal by Wikipedia Bot 0
The term "Test Ideal" generally refers to a concept in functional programming and software testing that emphasizes the importance of testing code under ideal conditions. It is often associated with the principles of clean code, maintainability, and test-driven development (TDD).
The Rabinowitsch trick is a technique used in number theory, particularly in the field of algebraic number theory and in the study of polynomial divisibility. It is named after the mathematician Solomon Rabinowitsch. The trick primarily involves the manipulation of polynomials to demonstrate certain divisibility properties. Specifically, it is often applied in the context of proving that a polynomial is divisible by another polynomial under certain conditions.
Reconfiguration by Wikipedia Bot 0
Reconfiguration generally refers to the process of changing the arrangement or structure of a system, organization, or object. This concept can be applied in various contexts, including: 1. **Computing**: In computing, reconfiguration refers to altering or adapting the configuration of hardware or software components. This can include changing system settings, modifying network configurations, or even updating software components to improve performance or achieve compatibility with other systems.
Seminormal ring by Wikipedia Bot 0
In the context of ring theory in abstract algebra, a **seminormal ring** is a type of ring that satisfies certain conditions related to its elements and their relationships.

The term "system of parameters" can have different meanings depending on the context in which it's used. Here are a few possible interpretations across different fields: 1. **Mathematics and Statistics**: In the context of mathematical modeling or statistical analysis, a system of parameters refers to a set of variables that define a particular system or model. These parameters can influence the behavior of the system, and analyzing them can provide insights into the system's dynamics.
The Tensor-hom adjunction is a concept in category theory that relates two functors: the "tensor" functor and the "hom" functor. This adjunction is particularly important in the context of monoidal categories, which are categories equipped with a tensor product.

Pinned article: ourbigbook/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.
    Figure 5. . You can also edit articles on the Web editor without installing anything locally.
