In mathematics, Gegenbauer polynomials or ultraspherical polynomials C(α)n(x) are orthogonal polynomials on the interval with respect to the weight function (1 − x2)α–1/2. They generalize Legendre polynomials and Chebyshev polynomials, and are special cases of Jacobi polynomials. They are named after Leopold Gegenbaue...

In mathematics, Gelfand–Fuks cohomology, introduced in (Gel'fand & Fuks 1969–70), is a cohomology theory for Lie algebras of smooth vector fields.

In mathematics, Gelfond's constant, named after Aleksandr Gelfond, is eπ, that is, e raised to the power π. Like both e and π, this constant is a transcendental number.

In mathematics, Hilbert's program, formulated by German mathematician David Hilbert in the early 1920s, was a proposed solution to the foundational crisis of mathematics, when early attempts to clarify the foundations of mathematics were found to suffer from paradoxes and inconsistencies. As a solution, Hilbert propose...

Ultimately, the consistency of all of mathematics could be reduced to basic arithmetic. Gödel's incompleteness theorems, published in 1931, showed that Hilbert's program was unattainable for key areas of mathematics. In his first theorem, Gödel showed that any consistent system with a computable set of axioms which is ...

In mathematics, Hilbert's second problem was posed by David Hilbert in 1900 as one of his 23 problems. It asks for a proof that the arithmetic is consistent – free of any internal contradictions. Hilbert stated that the axioms he considered for arithmetic were the ones given in Hilbert (1900), which include a second or...

In mathematics, Hilbert's syzygy theorem is one of the three fundamental theorems about polynomial rings over fields, first proved by David Hilbert in 1890, which were introduced for solving important open questions in invariant theory, and are at the basis of modern algebraic geometry. The two other theorems are Hilbe...

As the relations form a module, one may consider the relations between the relations; the theorem asserts that, if one continues in this way, starting with a module over a polynomial ring in n indeterminates over a field, one eventually finds a zero module of relations, after at most n steps. Hilbert's syzygy theorem i...

In mathematics, Hiptmair–Xu (HX) preconditioners are preconditioners for solving H ( curl ) {\displaystyle H(\operatorname {curl} )} and H ( div ) {\displaystyle H(\operatorname {div} )} problems based on the auxiliary space preconditioning framework. An important ingredient in the derivation of HX preconditioners in t...

HX preconditioners have been used for accelerating a wide variety of solution techniques, thanks to their highly scalable parallel implementations, and are known as AMS and ADS precondition. HX preconditioner was identified by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of the top ten breakthroughs in computational science in...

In mathematics, Hochschild homology (and cohomology) is a homology theory for associative algebras over rings. There is also a theory for Hochschild homology of certain functors. Hochschild cohomology was introduced by Gerhard Hochschild (1945) for algebras over a field, and extended to algebras over more general rings...

In mathematics, Hodge theory, named after W. V. D. Hodge, is a method for studying the cohomology groups of a smooth manifold M using partial differential equations. The key observation is that, given a Riemannian metric on M, every cohomology class has a canonical representative, a differential form that vanishes unde...

It has major applications in two settings: Riemannian manifolds and Kähler manifolds. Hodge's primary motivation, the study of complex projective varieties, is encompassed by the latter case. Hodge theory has become an important tool in algebraic geometry, particularly through its connection to the study of algebraic c...

In mathematics, Hodge–Arakelov theory of elliptic curves is an analogue of classical and p-adic Hodge theory for elliptic curves carried out in the framework of Arakelov theory. It was introduced by Mochizuki (1999). It bears the name of two mathematicians, Suren Arakelov and W. V. D. Hodge.

The main comparison in his theory remains unpublished as of 2019. Mochizuki's main comparison theorem in Hodge–Arakelov theory states (roughly) that the space of polynomial functions of degree less than d on the universal extension of a smooth elliptic curve in characteristic 0 is naturally isomorphic (via restriction)...

In mathematics, Hooley's delta function ( Δ ( n ) {\displaystyle \Delta (n)} ), also called Erdős--Hooley delta-function, defines the maximum number of divisors of n {\displaystyle n} in {\displaystyle } for all u {\displaystyle u} , where e {\displaystyle e} is the Euler's number. The first few terms of this sequence...
