In mathematics, an Eisenstein sum is a finite sum depending on a finite field and related to a Gauss sum. Eisenstein sums were introduced by Eisenstein in 1848, named "Eisenstein sums" by Stickelberger in 1890, and rediscovered by Yamamoto in 1985, who called them relative Gauss sums.

In mathematics, an Engel subalgebra of a Lie algebra with respect to some element x is the subalgebra of elements annihilated by some power of ad x. Engel subalgebras are named after Friedrich Engel. For finite-dimensional Lie algebras over infinite fields the minimal Engel subalgebras are the Cartan subalgebras.

In mathematics, an Enoki surface is compact complex surface with positive second Betti number that has a global spherical shell and a non-trivial divisor D with H0(O(D)) ≠ 0 and (D, D) = 0. Enoki (1980) constructed some examples. They are surfaces of class VII, so are non-Kähler and have Kodaira dimension −∞.

In mathematics, an Erdős cardinal, also called a partition cardinal is a certain kind of large cardinal number introduced by Paul Erdős and András Hajnal (1958). A cardinal κ is called α-Erdős if for every function f: κ< ω → {0, 1}, there is a set of order type α that is homogeneous for f . In the notation of the parti...

However, the existence of an ω1-Erdős cardinal implies existence of zero sharp. If f is the satisfaction relation for L (using ordinal parameters), then the existence of zero sharp is equivalent to there being an ω1-Erdős ordinal with respect to f . Thus, the existence of zero sharp implies that the axiom of constructi...

In mathematics, an I-bundle is a fiber bundle whose fiber is an interval and whose base is a manifold.

In mathematics, an affine combination of x1, ..., xn is a linear combination ∑ i = 1 n α i ⋅ x i = α 1 x 1 + α 2 x 2 + ⋯ + α n x n , {\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^{n}{\alpha _{i}\cdot x_{i}}=\alpha _{1}x_{1}+\alpha _{2}x_{2}+\cdots +\alpha _{n}x_{n},} such that ∑ i = 1 n α i = 1. {\displaystyle \sum _{i=1}^{n}{\alpha _{i}...

This concept is fundamental in Euclidean geometry and affine geometry, because the set of all affine combinations of a set of points forms the smallest subspace containing the points, exactly as the linear combinations of a set of vectors form their linear span. The affine combinations commute with any affine transform...

In mathematics, an affine representation of a topological Lie group G on an affine space A is a continuous (smooth) group homomorphism from G to the automorphism group of A, the affine group Aff(A). Similarly, an affine representation of a Lie algebra g on A is a Lie algebra homomorphism from g to the Lie algebra aff(A...

In mathematics, an affine root system is a root system of affine-linear functions on a Euclidean space. They are used in the classification of affine Lie algebras and superalgebras, and semisimple p-adic algebraic groups, and correspond to families of Macdonald polynomials. The reduced affine root systems were used by ...

In mathematics, an affine space is a geometric structure that generalizes some of the properties of Euclidean spaces in such a way that these are independent of the concepts of distance and measure of angles, keeping only the properties related to parallelism and ratio of lengths for parallel line segments. In an affin...

Thus it makes sense to subtract two points of the space, giving a translation vector, but it does not make sense to add two points of the space. Likewise, it makes sense to add a displacement vector to a point of an affine space, resulting in a new point translated from the starting point by that vector. Any vector spa...

In this case, elements of the vector space may be viewed either as points of the affine space or as displacement vectors or translations. When considered as a point, the zero vector is called the origin. Adding a fixed vector to the elements of a linear subspace (vector subspace) of a vector space produces an affine su...

One commonly says that this affine subspace has been obtained by translating (away from the origin) the linear subspace by the translation vector (the vector added to all the elements of the linear space). In finite dimensions, such an affine subspace is the solution set of an inhomogeneous linear system. The displacem...

Linear subspaces, in contrast, always contain the origin of the vector space. The dimension of an affine space is defined as the dimension of the vector space of its translations. An affine space of dimension one is an affine line. An affine space of dimension 2 is an affine plane. An affine subspace of dimension n – 1...

In mathematics, an algebra bundle is a fiber bundle whose fibers are algebras and local trivializations respect the algebra structure. It follows that the transition functions are algebra isomorphisms. Since algebras are also vector spaces, every algebra bundle is a vector bundle. Examples include the tensor-algebra bu...
