In mathematics, a Legendrian knot often refers to a smooth embedding of the circle into R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} , which is tangent to the standard contact structure on R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{3}} . It is the lowest-dimensional case of a Legendrian submanifold, which is an embedding of a k-dimensio...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendrian_knot
Many inequivalent Legendrian knots can be distinguished by considering their Thurston-Bennequin invariants and rotation number, which are together known as the "classical invariants" of Legendrian knots. More sophisticated invariants have been constructed, including one constructed combinatorially by Chekanov and using...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendrian_knot
This Chekanov-Eliashberg invariant yields an invariant for loops of Legendrian knots by considering the monodromy of the loops. This has yielded noncontractible loops of Legendrian knots which are contractible in the space of all knots. Any Legendrian knot may be C 0 {\displaystyle C^{0}} perturbed to a transverse knot...

In mathematics, a Leray cover(ing) is a cover of a topological space which allows for easy calculation of its cohomology. Such covers are named after Jean Leray. Sheaf cohomology measures the extent to which a locally exact sequence on a fixed topological space, for instance the de Rham sequence, fails to be globally e...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leray_cover
Its definition, using derived functors, is reasonably natural, if technical. Moreover, important properties, such as the existence of a long exact sequence in cohomology corresponding to any short exact sequence of sheaves, follow directly from the definition. However, it is virtually impossible to calculate from the d...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leray_cover
On the other hand, Čech cohomology with respect to an open cover is well-suited to calculation, but of limited usefulness because it depends on the open cover chosen, not only on the sheaves and the space. By taking a direct limit of Čech cohomology over arbitrarily fine covers, we obtain a Čech cohomology theory that ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leray_cover
However, like the derived functor cohomology, this cover-independent Čech cohomology is virtually impossible to calculate from the definition. The Leray condition on an open cover ensures that the cover in question is already "fine enough." The derived functor cohomology agrees with the Čech cohomology with respect to ...

In mathematics, a Lie algebra (pronounced LEE) is a vector space g {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {g}}} together with an operation called the Lie bracket, an alternating bilinear map g × g → g {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {g}}\times {\mathfrak {g}}\rightarrow {\mathfrak {g}}} , that satisfies the Jacobi identity. Otherwise sai...

Given an associative algebra (like for example the space of square matrices), a Lie bracket can be and is often defined through the commutator, namely defining = x y − y x {\displaystyle =xy-yx} correctly defines a Lie bracket in addition to the already existing multiplication operation. Lie algebras are closely relat...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_a_Lie_algebra
This correspondence allows one to study the structure and classification of Lie groups in terms of Lie algebras. In physics, Lie groups appear as symmetry groups of physical systems, and their Lie algebras (tangent vectors near the identity) may be thought of as infinitesimal symmetry motions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_a_Lie_algebra
Thus Lie algebras and their representations are used extensively in physics, notably in quantum mechanics and particle physics. An elementary example (that is not derived from an associative algebra) is the space of three dimensional vectors g = R 3 {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {g}}=\mathbb {R} ^{3}} with the Lie bracket ...

Any nilpotent Lie algebra is a fortiori solvable but the converse is not true. The solvable Lie algebras and the semisimple Lie algebras form two large and generally complementary classes, as is shown by the Levi decomposition. The solvable Lie algebras are precisely those that can be obtained from semidirect products,...

In mathematics, a Lie algebroid is a vector bundle A → M {\displaystyle A\rightarrow M} together with a Lie bracket on its space of sections Γ ( A ) {\displaystyle \Gamma (A)} and a vector bundle morphism ρ: A → T M {\displaystyle \rho :A\rightarrow TM} , satisfying a Leibniz rule. A Lie algebroid can thus be thought o...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_algebroid
Indeed, any Lie groupoid gives rise to a Lie algebroid, which is the vertical bundle of the source map restricted at the units. However, unlike Lie algebras, not every Lie algebroid arises from a Lie groupoid. Lie algebroids were introduced in 1967 by Jean Pradines.

Lie groups provide a natural model for the concept of continuous symmetry, a celebrated example of which is the rotational symmetry in three dimensions (given by the special orthogonal group SO ( 3 ) {\displaystyle {\text{SO}}(3)} ). Lie groups are widely used in many parts of modern mathematics and physics. Lie groups...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_dimensional_Lie_group
These are now called the classical groups, as the concept has been extended far beyond these origins.

In mathematics, a Lindelöf space is a topological space in which every open cover has a countable subcover. The Lindelöf property is a weakening of the more commonly used notion of compactness, which requires the existence of a finite subcover. A hereditarily Lindelöf space is a topological space such that every subspa...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindelöf_space
Such a space is sometimes called strongly Lindelöf, but confusingly that terminology is sometimes used with an altogether different meaning. The term hereditarily Lindelöf is more common and unambiguous. Lindelöf spaces are named after the Finnish mathematician Ernst Leonard Lindelöf.

In mathematics, a Markov decision process (MDP) is a discrete-time stochastic control process. It provides a mathematical framework for modeling decision making in situations where outcomes are partly random and partly under the control of a decision maker. MDPs are useful for studying optimization problems solved via ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_Decision_Process
They are used in many disciplines, including robotics, automatic control, economics and manufacturing. The name of MDPs comes from the Russian mathematician Andrey Markov as they are an extension of Markov chains. At each time step, the process is in some state s {\displaystyle s} , and the decision maker may choose an...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_Decision_Process
The process responds at the next time step by randomly moving into a new state s ′ {\displaystyle s'} , and giving the decision maker a corresponding reward R a ( s , s ′ ) {\displaystyle R_{a}(s,s')} . The probability that the process moves into its new state s ′ {\displaystyle s'} is influenced by the chosen action. ...

In mathematics, a Nichols algebra is a Hopf algebra in a braided category assigned to an object V in this category (e.g. a braided vector space). The Nichols algebra is a quotient of the tensor algebra of V enjoying a certain universal property and is typically infinite-dimensional. Nichols algebras appear naturally in...

In particular several Dynkin diagrams (for inequivalent types of Weyl chambers). Each Dynkin diagram has one vertex per irreducible V i {\displaystyle V_{i}} and edges depending on their braided commutators in the Nichols algebra. The Hilbert series of the graded algebra B ( V ) {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {B}}(V)} is gi...
