Goldie's theorem, in the context of algebra and particularly concerning semigroups and group theory, pertains to the structure of certain algebraic objects. It is often discussed in relation to goldie dimensions and the growth of modules over rings.
Goncharov conjecture 1970-01-01
The Goncharov conjecture is a hypothesis in the field of algebraic geometry and number theory, proposed by Russian mathematician Alexander Goncharov. It concerns the behavior of certain algebraic cycles in the context of motives, which are a central concept in modern algebraic geometry. Specifically, the conjecture deals with the relationships between Chow groups, which are groups that classify algebraic cycles on a variety, and their connection to motives.

The Gorenstein–Walter theorem is a result in the area of algebra, particularly in the study of Gorenstein rings and commutative algebra. It essentially characterizes certain types of Gorenstein rings. The theorem states that a finitely generated algebra over a field which has a Gorenstein ring structure is Cohen-Macaulay and that such rings have certain properties related to their module categories.
Grade (ring theory) 1970-01-01
In ring theory, a branch of abstract algebra, the concept of "grade" often pertains to the structure of graded rings, which are rings that can be decomposed into a direct sum of abelian groups or modules indexed by integers or another grading set.
Grothendieck's connectedness theorem 1970-01-01
Grothendieck's connectedness theorem is a result in algebraic geometry that relates to the structure of schemes, particularly concerning the notion of connectedness in the context of the Zariski topology.
Grothendieck existence theorem 1970-01-01
The Grothendieck Existence Theorem is a fundamental result in algebraic geometry that pertains to the construction of schemes and their coherent sheaves, particularly in the context of the development of the theory of stacks and the Grothendieck topology. In more detail, the theorem addresses the existence of certain kinds of algebraic objects, providing conditions under which a given formal object can be realized by a certain kind of "concrete" object.
Group isomorphism problem 1970-01-01
The Group Isomorphism Problem is a computational problem in the field of algebra and computer science. It concerns the determination of whether two finite groups are isomorphic, meaning that there exists a bijection (one-to-one and onto mapping) between their elements that preserves the group operation.
Hereditary ring 1970-01-01
A **hereditary ring** is a type of ring in the field of abstract algebra, particularly in ring theory. A ring \( R \) is called hereditary if every finitely generated module over \( R \) is a projective module. This is equivalent to saying that all submodules of finitely generated projective modules are also projective. In simpler terms, projective modules are those that resemble free modules in terms of their structure and properties.
Hochschild–Mostow group 1970-01-01
The Hochschild–Mostow group is a concept from algebraic topology, particularly in the area of algebraic K-theory and homotopy theory. It is associated with the study of higher-dimensional algebraic structures and their symmetries.
Hyper-finite field 1970-01-01
A **hyperfinite field** typically refers to a concept in the realm of mathematical logic and model theory, particularly in the study of non-standard analysis and structures. It is often related to the idea of constructing fields that have properties akin to finite fields but with an infinite nature.
Idempotent analysis 1970-01-01
Idempotent analysis is a branch of mathematics and theoretical computer science that extends the concepts of traditional analysis using the framework of idempotent semirings. In idempotent mathematical structures, the operation of addition is replaced by a max operation (or another specific operation depending on the context), and the operation of multiplication remains similar to standard multiplication.
Inner form 1970-01-01
The term "inner form" can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few interpretations based on various fields: 1. **Linguistics**: In linguistics, "inner form" can refer to the underlying meaning or semantic structure of a word or expression, as opposed to its "outer form," which is the phonetic or written representation. This concept is often discussed in relation to the relationship between language, thought, and reality.
Irreducible ideal 1970-01-01
In the context of ring theory, an **irreducible ideal** is a specific type of ideal in a ring that has certain properties.
Isomorphism extension theorem 1970-01-01
The Isomorphism Extension Theorem is a result in the field of abstract algebra, particularly in the study of groups, rings, and modules. It provides a framework for extending certain structures while preserving their key properties. The theorem is often discussed in the context of group and module theory, where it deals with homomorphisms and their extensions.
Itô's theorem 1970-01-01
Itô's theorem is a fundamental result in stochastic calculus, particularly in the context of stochastic processes involving Brownian motion. Named after Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Itô, the theorem provides a method for finding the differential of a function of a stochastic process, typically a Itô process.
Jacobi group 1970-01-01
The term "Jacobi group" can refer to a specific mathematical structure in the field of algebra, particularly within the context of Lie groups and their representations. However, the name might be more commonly associated with Jacobi groups in the context of harmonic analysis on homogeneous spaces or in certain applications in number theory and geometry. In one interpretation, **Jacobi groups** are related to **Jacobi forms**.
Jaffard ring 1970-01-01
A Jaffard ring is a concept in the field of functional analysis and operator theory, named after the mathematician Claude Jaffard. It is related to the study of certain types of algebras of operators, particularly those exhibiting specific algebraic and topological properties.
Johnson–Wilson theory 1970-01-01
The Johnson-Wilson theory is a theoretical framework used in solid-state physics and condensed matter physics to describe the electronic structure of materials, particularly correlated electron systems like high-temperature superconductors and heavy fermion compounds. This theory builds on concepts from quantum mechanics and many-body physics. The key aspects of Johnson-Wilson theory include: 1. **Effective Hamiltonian**: The theory often employs model Hamiltonians that capture the essential interactions and correlations between electrons in a material.
Karoubi conjecture 1970-01-01
The Karoubi conjecture is a hypothesis in the field of algebraic topology, particularly concerning the relationships between certain types of groups associated with topological spaces. Specifically, it relates to the K-theory of a space and the structure of its stable homotopy category. In more technical terms, the conjecture posits that every homotopy equivalence between simply-connected spaces induces an isomorphism on their stable homotopy categories.
