In mathematics, specifically the theory of Lie algebras, Lie's theorem states that, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, if π: g → g l ( V ) {\displaystyle \pi :{\mathfrak {g}}\to {\mathfrak {gl}}(V)} is a finite-dimensional representation of a solvable Lie algebra, then there's a flag V = V 0 ⊃ V...

In mathematics, specifically the theory of quadratic forms, an ε-quadratic form is a generalization of quadratic forms to skew-symmetric settings and to *-rings; ε = ±1, accordingly for symmetric or skew-symmetric. They are also called ( − ) n {\displaystyle (-)^{n}} -quadratic forms, particularly in the context of sur...

In mathematics, specifically topology, a sequence covering map is any of a class of maps between topological spaces whose definitions all somehow relate sequences in the codomain with sequences in the domain. Examples include sequentially quotient maps, sequence coverings, 1-sequence coverings, and 2-sequence coverings...

In mathematics, specifically transcendental number theory, Schanuel's conjecture is a conjecture made by Stephen Schanuel in the 1960s concerning the transcendence degree of certain field extensions of the rational numbers.
