For independent standard Gaussian random variables, the partial sums have characteristic functions , where . A finite almost-sure limit implies convergence of these characteristic functions to one continuous at zero; would instead give zero at every nonzero . Conversely, bounded makes the partial sums an martingale bounded in L2 space, which converges almost surely and in L2 space.
For standard one-dimensional Gaussian measure, . Thus , while . Every nonzero therefore attains ratio two, proving optimality of the Gaussian constant.
For , . Substitute to obtain the displayed identity for . The semigroup property and Tonelli theorem then give . The coefficient multiplying the time integral is the reciprocal of the coefficient in the full Green integral, a distinction important in Brownian motion hitting asymptotics.
For a maturity- call on a unit maturity- zero-coupon bond, where , deterministic forward-rate volatilities make the bond-price ratio lognormal under the T-forward measure. Its integrated variance is . For , put and . Integrating the lognormal distribution above the strike gives the displayed price. At , the price is . The forward measure is essential: the raw bond price has a stochastic discount rate under the money-market measure.
For time-to-maturity coordinates and time-homogeneous deterministic Heath-Jarrow-Morton model volatility, . The displayed evolution contains the maturity shift. Its mild solution is . The whole curve is a time-homogeneous Markov process under suitable function-space well-posedness conditions; the current short rate alone need not be a sufficient state.
For a centered Gaussian forward-rate field with covariance , integrate the short-rate past and the current forward curve together using the displayed mean-square integral. Its variance isFor fixed , its increments are independent of the full earlier forward-rate filtration: their covariance with at is the integral of . Use the uncorrelated jointly Gaussian variables are independent principle first for finite collections and then for their generated sigma-algebra. With , this centered process starts at zero.
For a normal distribution with mean , positive variance , and , the target is equivalent to the displayed constraint, where is the standard normal distribution function. This follows from and strict monotonicity of . Unlike the sufficient Chernoff bound margin , this constraint is necessary as well as sufficient. The exact quantile can be negative when .
For a self-consistent Gaussian angular-momentum suppression in a stellar distribution, put and . At large radius the Poisson equation for Newtonian gravity reduces to , where . The asymptotic balance gives , the displayed density, and circular speed . A sufficiently small regular core can have an intermediate isotropic singular isothermal sphere envelope with and . At the actual regular centre, however, and ; the intermediate power law must not be mistaken for a central limit.
Choose as the polynomial roots of in , and form the Lagrange interpolation polynomials . The Gauss collocation method has and . This gives explicit coefficient formulas after finding polynomial roots: if , these integrals are and . Gaussian quadrature gives order .
A surface locally swept out by ambient geodesics has in its unit ruling direction . For a perpendicular unit tangent , the Gauss equation in a curved ambient manifold therefore gives the displayed identity. Its Gaussian curvature is at most the ambient sectional curvature in its tangent plane, with equality precisely when . An independent variation argument applies the Jacobi field equation to the length of a perpendicular connecting field; its ambient derivative has the extra normal component . The Euclidean surface is ruled by straight lines and has Gaussian curvature .
Here , the negative of the convention in the ordinary Gauss equation in a curved ambient manifold. Insert the Gauss formula and Weingarten formula into this definition and project tangentially to obtain the displayed identity. Positive sectional curvature uses with this convention. Thus a Euclidean surface still has Gaussian curvature ; reversing the operator sign without changing the slot order would give the wrong sign.
Let the unit normal satisfy , let , and set . The normal component of an ambient derivative of tangent fields is . Substitute that decomposition into the curvature commutator and project tangentially to obtain the displayed equation. Its scalar contraction is . Both metric signature and curvature-slot convention must be specified when assigning a sign.
For , , the formal diagonal exponent has and . Matching the gauge equation gives the off-diagonal first coefficient and the diagonal one , where . The second coefficient has diagonal entries and off-diagonal entries . With and negative-index coefficients zero, the coefficient comparison isIts diagonal equations at give and the second diagonal coefficient respectively. Its off-diagonal equations determine the next coefficients because the commutator with multiplies the upper and lower entries by and . This proves the expansion and supplies the recursion for all higher orders. The generally nonzero supplies formal monodromy.
For the left graded Leibniz rule and , , the displayed gauge-fixing fermion gives . The ghost signs follow from odd parity. BRST nilpotence implies invariance of this density without using field equations. Eliminating the Nakanishi-Lautrup field gives for nonzero .
For a left left-acting BRST differential with , , , choose . The graded Leibniz rule gives . Integrating the auxiliary Gaussian yields . At this is Feynman gauge. Opposite antighost or exact-action sign conventions require a corresponding change of fermion.

For integer isospin and neutral-state charge conjugation value , the entire isospin multiplet has . Both charge conjugation and the second-axis half-turn reverse the first and third generators, so their product commutes with the full isospin algebra. Evaluate it on the state and use ladder connectivity to obtain the value for every .
In a full regular minimal exponential family, a finite maximum-likelihood estimator exists precisely when the observed sufficient-statistic mean is in the interior of the convex support of an exponential family. It is unique because the log likelihood is strictly concave. For an interior mean, positive base-measure mass near finitely many support points surrounding the mean makes grow at least linearly as . At a finite boundary of the full open natural domain, the normalizing integral diverges. Thus the likelihood attains its maximum in the domain. On a boundary face, no finite parameter can have the required mean. A regular restriction should instead use the exact mean-image criterion. These full-family conventions are also discussed in Geyer's exponential-family lecture notes.
For an adjunction , applying to its standard counit presentation gives , split by the monad units. Reflection therefore makes every counit presentation a coequalizer and gives full faithfulness by descent. Conversely, monad algebra forgetful functor creates split coequalizers makes an existing G-split quotient a coequalizer in the Eilenberg-Moore category. Fullness and faithfulness of the comparison lift its universal factorization back to the original category.
A quasistatic approximation to the solute field neglects its perturbation time derivative while retaining the interface motion in the solute balance. For steady pulling, a lateral wavenumber then has decaying exponent . It is justified when the interface growth time is long compared with the relevant solute diffusion time. Fixing the thermal field does not by itself impose this solutal timescale ordering.
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.
