The Kawamata–Viehweg vanishing theorem is a result in algebraic geometry that deals with the cohomology of certain coherent sheaves on projective varieties, particularly in the context of higher-dimensional algebraic geometry. It addresses conditions under which certain cohomology groups vanish, which is crucial for understanding the geometry of algebraic varieties and the behavior of their line bundles.
Kummer variety
Kummer varieties are algebraic varieties associated with abelian varieties, specifically focusing on the quotient of a complex torus that arises from abelian varieties. More precisely, a Kummer variety is constructed from an abelian variety by identifying points that are negatives of each other.
Kurosh problem
The Kurosh problem, named after the Iranian mathematician Alexander Kurosh, is a well-known problem in group theory, particularly in the context of the structure of groups and their subgroups. The Kurosh problem concerns the characterization of a certain type of subgroup, namely, free products of groups.
Luna's slice theorem
Luna's slice theorem is a result in the field of algebraic geometry and it pertains to the study of group actions on algebraic varieties. Specifically, it deals with the situation where a group acts on a variety, and it provides a way to understand the local structure of the variety at points with a particular kind of symmetry.
Marot ring
A Marot ring is a type of mathematical structure used in the study of algebraic topology, specifically in the context of homotopy theory and the theory of operads. It is named after the mathematician Marot, who contributed to the development of these concepts. In more detail, a Marot ring can be seen as a certain kind of algebraic object that exhibits properties related to the arrangement and composition of topological spaces or other algebraic structures.
Metabelian group
A **metabelian group** is a specific type of group in the field of group theory. A group \( G \) is called metabelian if its derived subgroup (also known as the commutator subgroup) is abelian.

A metacyclic group is a specific type of group in group theory, which is a branch of mathematics. More precisely, it is a particular kind of solvable group that has a structure related to cyclic groups. A group \( G \) is called metacyclic if it has a normal subgroup \( N \) that is cyclic, and the quotient group \( G/N \) is also cyclic.
Milnor–Moore theorem
The Milnor–Moore theorem is a key result in the field of differential topology and algebraic topology, specifically concerning the structure of certain classes of smooth manifolds. Named after mathematicians John Milnor and John Moore, the theorem provides a characterization of the relationship between the algebra of smooth functions on a manifold and the algebra of its vector fields.

Opposite ring
In mathematics, specifically in abstract algebra, an **opposite ring** is a concept that arises when considering the structure of rings in a different way. If \( R \) is a ring, the **opposite ring** \( R^{op} \) (also sometimes denoted as \( R^{op} \) or \( R^{op} \)) is defined with the same underlying set as \( R \), but with the multiplication operation reversed.

An **ordered semigroup** is a mathematical structure that combines the concepts of semigroups and ordered sets.

Orthomorphism is a term primarily used in the context of mathematics and particularly in the study of algebraic structures. It can refer to a type of homomorphisma structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures—specifically when dealing with groups or other algebraic systems. In a more general sense, an orthomorphism can denote a specific kind of morphism that preserves certain properties or structures in a more 'orthogonal' way.
Permutation representation
In the context of group theory, a **permutation representation** is a way of representing a group as a group of permutations. Specifically, if \( G \) is a group, a permutation representation of \( G \) is a homomorphism from \( G \) to the symmetric group \( S_n \), which is the group of all permutations of a set of \( n \) elements.
Petersson algebra
Petersson algebra, named after the mathematician Harold Petersson, is a specific algebraic structure that arises in the context of modular forms and number theory.

In algebraic topology, a Postnikov square is a geometric construction that provides an important method for studying topological spaces up to homotopy. Specifically, it is used to break down a space into simpler pieces that are easier to analyze in terms of their homotopy types.
Preradical
"Preradical" might refer to a concept or term that is not widely recognized in mainstream discourse as of my last training cut-off in October 2023. It could potentially be a term used in specific academic fields, niche discussions, or could be a typographical error or shorthand for something else, such as "pre-radical" in a political or ideological context.
Primary extension
In various contexts, the term "primary extension" can have different meanings. Here are a few interpretations based on different fields: 1. **Mathematics**: In algebra, particularly in the study of fields and rings, a "primary extension" might refer to an extension of fields that preserves certain properties of the original field. The concept of field extensions is fundamental in algebra, and primary extensions might involve specific types of extensions such as algebraic or transcendental extensions.
In the context of finite fields (also known as Galois fields), a **primitive element** is an element that generates the multiplicative group of the field. To understand this concept clearly, let's start with some basics about finite fields: 1. **Finite Fields**: A finite field \( \mathbb{F}_{q} \) is a field with a finite number of elements, where \( q \) is a power of a prime number, i.e.
