In mathematics, the ring of modular forms associated to a subgroup Γ of the special linear group SL(2, Z) is the graded ring generated by the modular forms of Γ. The study of rings of modular forms describes the algebraic structure of the space of modular forms.

In mathematics, the ring of polynomial functions on a vector space V over a field k gives a coordinate-free analog of a polynomial ring. It is denoted by k. If V is finite dimensional and is viewed as an algebraic variety, then k is precisely the coordinate ring of V. The explicit definition of the ring can be given as...

This suggests the following: given a vector space V, let k be the commutative k-algebra generated by the dual space V ∗ {\displaystyle V^{*}} , which is a subring of the ring of all functions V → k {\displaystyle V\to k} . If we fix a basis for V and write t i {\displaystyle t_{i}} for its dual basis, then k consists o...

In applications, one also defines k when V is defined over some subfield of k (e.g., k is the complex field and V is a real vector space.) The same definition still applies. Throughout the article, for simplicity, the base field k is assumed to be infinite.

In mathematics, the root test is a criterion for the convergence (a convergence test) of an infinite series. It depends on the quantity lim sup n → ∞ | a n | n , {\displaystyle \limsup _{n\rightarrow \infty }{\sqrt{|a_{n}|}},} where a n {\displaystyle a_{n}} are the terms of the series, and states that the series conve...

In mathematics, the scalar projection of a vector a {\displaystyle \mathbf {a} } on (or onto) a vector b , {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} ,} also known as the scalar resolute of a {\displaystyle \mathbf {a} } in the direction of b , {\displaystyle \mathbf {b} ,} is given by: s = ‖ a ‖ cos ⁡ θ = a ⋅ b ^ , {\displaystyle s=\...

In mathematics, the scale convolution of two functions s ( t ) {\displaystyle s(t)} and r ( t ) {\displaystyle r(t)} , also known as their logarithmic convolution is defined as the function s ∗ l r ( t ) = r ∗ l s ( t ) = ∫ 0 ∞ s ( t a ) r ( a ) d a a {\displaystyle s*_{l}r(t)=r*_{l}s(t)=\int _{0}^{\infty }s\left({\fra...

In mathematics, the second moment method is a technique used in probability theory and analysis to show that a random variable has positive probability of being positive. More generally, the "moment method" consists of bounding the probability that a random variable fluctuates far from its mean, by using its moments.Th...

In mathematics, the secondary measure associated with a measure of positive density ρ when there is one, is a measure of positive density μ, turning the secondary polynomials associated with the orthogonal polynomials for ρ into an orthogonal system.
