In mathematics, an idempotent binary relation is a binary relation R on a set X (a subset of Cartesian product X × X) for which the composition of relations R ∘ R is the same as R. This notion generalizes that of an idempotent function to relations.

In mathematics, an identity element or neutral element of a binary operation is an element that leaves unchanged every element when the operation is applied. For example, 0 is an identity element of the addition of real numbers. This concept is used in algebraic structures such as groups and rings. The term identity el...

c_mb1dmzwceyma
In mathematics, an identity function, also called an identity relation, identity map or identity transformation, is a function that always returns the value that was used as its argument, unchanged. That is, when f is the identity function, the equality f(X) = X is true for all values of X to which f can be applied.

In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables within a certain range of validity. In other words, A = B is an identity if A and B define...

In mathematics, an immersion is a differentiable function between differentiable manifolds whose differential pushforward is everywhere injective. Explicitly, f: M → N is an immersion if D p f: T p M → T f ( p ) N {\displaystyle D_{p}f:T_{p}M\to T_{f(p)}N\,} is an injective function at every point p of M (where TpX den...

The function f itself need not be injective, only its derivative must be. A related concept is that of an embedding. A smooth embedding is an injective immersion f: M → N that is also a topological embedding, so that M is diffeomorphic to its image in N. An immersion is precisely a local embedding – that is, for any po...

In mathematics, an interprime is the average of two consecutive odd primes. For example, 9 is an interprime because it is the average of 7 and 11. The first interprimes are: 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 26, 30, 34, 39, 42, 45, 50, 56, 60, 64, 69, 72, 76, 81, 86, 93, 99, ... (sequence A024675 in the OEIS)Interprimes cannot ...

In mathematics, an interval contractor (or contractor for short) associated to a set X {\displaystyle X} is an operator C {\displaystyle C} which associates to a hyperrectangle {\displaystyle } in R n {\displaystyle {\mathbf {R}}^{n}} another box C ( ) {\displaystyle C()} of R n {\displaystyle {\mathbf {R}}^{n}} such...

In mathematics, an interval exchange transformation is a kind of dynamical system that generalises circle rotation. The phase space consists of the unit interval, and the transformation acts by cutting the interval into several subintervals, and then permuting these subintervals. They arise naturally in the study of po...

In mathematics, an invariant convex cone is a closed convex cone in a Lie algebra of a connected Lie group that is invariant under inner automorphisms. The study of such cones was initiated by Ernest Vinberg and Bertram Kostant. For a simple Lie algebra, the existence of an invariant convex cone forces the Lie algebra ...

The dual cone with respect to the Killing form is the maximal invariant convex cone. Any intermediate cone is uniquely determined by its intersection with the Lie algebra of a maximal torus in a maximal compact subgroup. The intersection is invariant under the Weyl group of the maximal torus and the orbit of every poin...

For the real symplectic group, the maximal and minimal cone coincide, so there is only one invariant convex cone. When one is properly contained in the other, there is a continuum of intermediate invariant convex cones. Invariant convex cones arise in the analysis of holomorphic semigroups in the complexification of th...

They are naturally associated with Hermitian symmetric spaces and their associated holomorphic discrete series. The semigroup is made up of those elements in the complexification which, when acting on the Hermitian symmetric space of compact type, leave invariant the bounded domain corresponding to the noncompact dual.

The semigroup acts by contraction operators on the holomorphic discrete series; its interior acts by Hilbert–Schmidt operators. The unitary part of their polar decomposition is the operator corresponding to an element in the original real Lie group, while the positive part is the exponential of an imaginary multiple of...

A similar decomposition already occurs in the semigroup. The oscillator semigroup of Roger Howe concerns the special case of this theory for the real symplectic group. Historically this has been one of the most important applications and has been generalized to infinite dimensions. This article treats in detail the exa...

In mathematics, an invariant is a property of a mathematical object (or a class of mathematical objects) which remains unchanged after operations or transformations of a certain type are applied to the objects. The particular class of objects and type of transformations are usually indicated by the context in which the...

More generally, an invariant with respect to an equivalence relation is a property that is constant on each equivalence class.Invariants are used in diverse areas of mathematics such as geometry, topology, algebra and discrete mathematics. Some important classes of transformations are defined by an invariant they leave...

In mathematics, an invariant measure is a measure that is preserved by some function. The function may be a geometric transformation. For examples, circular angle is invariant under rotation, hyperbolic angle is invariant under squeeze mapping, and a difference of slopes is invariant under shear mapping.Ergodic theory ...

In mathematics, an invariant polynomial is a polynomial P {\displaystyle P} that is invariant under a group Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } acting on a vector space V {\displaystyle V} . Therefore, P {\displaystyle P} is a Γ {\displaystyle \Gamma } -invariant polynomial if P ( γ x ) = P ( x ) {\displaystyle P(\gamma x)=P(x)}...
