In mathematics, Lie group decompositions are used to analyse the structure of Lie groups and associated objects, by showing how they are built up out of subgroups. They are essential technical tools in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras; they can also be used to study the algebraic topology of suc...

In mathematics, Lie group–Lie algebra correspondence allows one to correspond a Lie group to a Lie algebra or vice versa, and study the conditions for such a relationship. Lie groups that are isomorphic to each other have Lie algebras that are isomorphic to each other, but the converse is not necessarily true. One obvi...

Yang–Mills gauge theory and gauge gravitation theory exemplify irreducible Lagrangian field theories. Different variants of second Noether’s theorem state the one-to-one correspondence between the non-trivial reducible Noether identities and the non-trivial reducible gauge symmetries. Formulated in a very general setti...

In mathematics, Noether's theorem on rationality for surfaces is a classical result of Max Noether on complex algebraic surfaces, giving a criterion for a rational surface. Let S be an algebraic surface that is non-singular and projective. Suppose there is a morphism φ from S to the projective line, with general fibre ...

In mathematics, Novikov's compact leaf theorem, named after Sergei Novikov, states that A codimension-one foliation of a compact 3-manifold whose universal covering space is not contractible must have a compact leaf.

In mathematics, Oka's lemma, proved by Kiyoshi Oka, states that in a domain of holomorphy in C n {\displaystyle \mathbb {C} ^{n}} , the function − log ⁡ d ( z ) {\displaystyle -\log d(z)} is plurisubharmonic, where d {\displaystyle d} is the distance to the boundary. This property shows that the domain is pseudoconvex....

In mathematics, Ono's inequality is a theorem about triangles in the Euclidean plane. In its original form, as conjectured by T. Ono in 1914, the inequality is actually false; however, the statement is true for acute triangles and right triangles, as shown by F. Balitrand in 1916.

In mathematics, Osgood's lemma, introduced by William Fogg Osgood (1899), is a proposition in complex analysis. It states that a continuous function of several complex variables that is holomorphic in each variable separately is holomorphic. The assumption that the function is continuous can be dropped, but that form o...

If we assume that a function f: R n → R {\displaystyle f:\mathbb {R} ^{n}\to \mathbb {R} } is globally continuous and separately differentiable on each variable (all partial derivatives exist everywhere), it is not true that f {\displaystyle f} will necessarily be differentiable. A counterexample in two dimensions is g...

In mathematics, Ostrowski numeration, named after Alexander Ostrowski, is either of two related numeration systems based on continued fractions: a non-standard positional numeral system for integers and a non-integer representation of real numbers. Fix a positive irrational number α with continued fraction expansion . ...

In mathematics, Owen's T function T(h, a), named after statistician Donald Bruce Owen, is defined by T ( h , a ) = 1 2 π ∫ 0 a e − 1 2 h 2 ( 1 + x 2 ) 1 + x 2 d x ( − ∞ < h , a < + ∞ ) . {\displaystyle T(h,a)={\frac {1}{2\pi }}\int _{0}^{a}{\frac {e^{-{\frac {1}{2}}h^{2}(1+x^{2})}}{1+x^{2}}}dx\quad \left(-\infty

In mathematics, Padovan polynomials are a generalization of Padovan sequence numbers. These polynomials are defined by: P n ( x ) = { 1 , if n = 1 0 , if n = 2 x , if n = 3 x P n − 2 ( x ) + P n − 3 ( x ) , if n ≥ 4. {\displaystyle P_{n}(x)={\begin{cases}1,&{\mbox{if }}n=1\\0,&{\mbox{if }}n=2\\x,&{\mbox{if }}n=3\\xP_{n...

{\displaystyle P_{11}(x)=x^{5}+6x^{2}.\,} The Padovan numbers are recovered by evaluating the polynomials Pn−3(x) at x = 1. Evaluating Pn−3(x) at x = 2 gives the nth Fibonacci number plus (−1)n. (sequence A008346 in the OEIS) The ordinary generating function for the sequence is ∑ n = 1 ∞ P n ( x ) t n = t 1 − x t 2 − t...

In mathematics, Painlevé transcendents are solutions to certain nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations in the complex plane with the Painlevé property (the only movable singularities are poles), but which are not generally solvable in terms of elementary functions. They were discovered by Émile Picard (...

In mathematics, Paley graphs are dense undirected graphs constructed from the members of a suitable finite field by connecting pairs of elements that differ by a quadratic residue. The Paley graphs form an infinite family of conference graphs, which yield an infinite family of symmetric conference matrices. Paley graph...
