Jacobian variety 1970-01-01
A Jacobian variety is a fundamental concept in algebraic geometry and is associated with algebraic curves. Specifically, it is the complex torus formed by the points of a smooth projective algebraic curve and is used to study the algebraic properties of the curve.
Kappa curve 1970-01-01
The Kappa curve is a graphical representation used to evaluate the performance of classification models, particularly in the context of binary or categorical outcomes. It is often used in conjunction with Cohen's Kappa statistic, which quantifies the agreement between two raters or classifiers beyond what would be expected by chance. ### Key Components of the Kappa Curve: 1. **Cohen's Kappa Statistic**: This is a measure of inter-rater agreement for categorical items.
Kempe's universality theorem 1970-01-01
Kempe's universality theorem is a significant result in the field of graph theory and automata theory, specifically concerning the properties of certain types of logical structures. The theorem states that every finite structure can be embedded in a sufficiently large and well-behaved universal structure. In more technical terms, let’s consider a vocabulary (a set of symbols that represent functions, relations, and constants).
Klein quartic 1970-01-01
The Klein quartic is a notable and interesting example of a mathematical object in the field of topology and algebraic geometry. Specifically, it is a compact Riemann surface of genus 3, which can be represented as a complex algebraic curve of degree 4.
Lambda g conjecture 1970-01-01
The Lambda g conjecture is a concept in the field of differential topology, specifically in relation to the study of 4-manifolds. It is part of ongoing research into the properties and structures of manifolds, particularly those of a certain dimension and type. The conjecture itself involves certain invariants related to 4-manifolds, which are mathematical spaces that can be locally modeled by Euclidean space in four dimensions.
Lange's conjecture 1970-01-01
Lange's conjecture is a statement in the field of number theory and algebraic geometry concerning the structure of certain mathematical objects known as abelian varieties. More specifically, it relates to the notion of "special" subvarieties within the family of all abelian varieties. The conjecture posits that for certain families of abelian varieties, the special fibers, when considered over a varying base, exhibit a specific pattern in their dimension and structure.

Limaçon 1970-01-01
A Limaçon is a type of polar curve defined by the equation \( r = a + b \cos(\theta) \) or \( r = a + b \sin(\theta) \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are constants. The shape of the Limaçon depends on the relationship between the values of \( a \) and \( b \): - If \( a > b \), the Limaçon has a dimple but does not loop.

List of curves 1970-01-01
A list of curves often refers to a comprehensive cataloging of various mathematical curves that have specific equations, properties, and applications. Such lists are useful in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer graphics, and other fields. Here are some common types of curves you might find in a list of curves: ### Algebraic Curves 1. **Lines**: Linear equations (e.g., \(y = mx + b\)) 2.
Lüroth quartic 1970-01-01
The Lüroth quartic is a specific type of algebraic curve, particularly a quartic (a polynomial of degree four) in the field of algebraic geometry. It can be defined by a particular equation, typically in the form: \[ y^2 = x^4 + ax + b \] for certain coefficients \( a \) and \( b \).
Modular curve 1970-01-01
Modular curves are fundamental objects in number theory and algebraic geometry that arise in the study of modular forms and elliptic curves. They provide a geometric way to understand properties of these mathematical structures. ### Definition A modular curve, often denoted as \( X(N) \) for some integer \( N \), parametrizes isomorphism classes of elliptic curves together with additional level structure.
Moment curve 1970-01-01
The term "moment curve" can refer to different concepts depending on the context. Here are a couple of common interpretations: 1. **Moment Curves in Mechanics**: In mechanics, particularly in structural engineering and physics, a moment curve refers to a graphical representation of the bending moments along a structural element, such as a beam. These curves are used to visualize how internal forces develop along the length of a structure under various loads, helping engineers understand where the maximum bending moments occur.
Mumford measure 1970-01-01
The Mumford measure is a mathematical concept used in the field of geometric measure theory and is particularly relevant in the study of geometric analysis, calculus of variations, and differential geometry. It was introduced by David Mumford in the context of analyzing certain types of geometric structures. Specifically, the Mumford measure is associated with a notion of "regularity" for sets of finite perimeter and is often used to study the properties of these sets in terms of their geometry and topology.
N-ellipse 1970-01-01
An N-ellipse is a generalization of the traditional ellipse in the context of higher-dimensional spaces. In a two-dimensional space, an ellipse can be defined as the set of all points such that the sum of the distances from two fixed points (the foci) is constant. This concept can be extended to higher dimensions, leading to what is referred to as an N-ellipse.
Nagata's conjecture on curves 1970-01-01
Nagata's conjecture on curves pertains to the study of algebraic curves and their embeddings in projective space. Specifically, it concerns the question of whether every algebraic curve can be realized as a non-singular projective curve in a projective space of sufficiently high dimension.
Normal degree 1970-01-01
The term "normal degree" could refer to different concepts depending on the context. Here are a few possible interpretations: 1. **In Mathematics**: In the context of polynomial functions, the "degree" of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial expression. A "normal degree" in this case can mean the typical or expected degrees of polynomials in a specific area of study.
Ordinary singularity 1970-01-01
In mathematics, particularly in the study of complex analysis and singularity theory, an **ordinary singularity** refers to a type of singularity that appears in the context of complex functions or algebraic curves. More specifically, an ordinary singularity is often characterized by the behavior of the function or curve in the vicinity of the singular point.
Parabola 1970-01-01
A parabola is a type of conic section defined as the set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a fixed point called the focus and a fixed line called the directrix. Parabolas have a characteristic U-shaped curve and can open either upwards, downwards, left, or right, depending on their orientation.
Plücker formula 1970-01-01
The Plücker formula is a fundamental result in the study of algebraic geometry and enumerative geometry, specifically relating to the counting of lines on a projective variety. It provides a way to compute the number of lines through a given number of points in projective space.
