https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic%20and%20geometric%20Frobenius | In mathematics, the Frobenius endomorphism is defined in any commutative ring R that has characteristic p, where p is a prime number. Namely, the mapping φ that takes r in R to rp is a ring endomorphism of R.
The image of φ is then Rp, the subring of R consisting of p-th powers. In some important cases, for example fi... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic%20nonce | In cryptography, a nonce is an arbitrary number that can be used just once in a cryptographic communication. It is often a random or pseudo-random number issued in an authentication protocol to ensure that old communications cannot be reused in replay attacks. They can also be useful as initialization vectors and in cr... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed%20percolation | In statistical physics, directed percolation (DP) refers to a class of models that mimic filtering of fluids through porous materials along a given direction, due to the effect of gravity. Varying the microscopic connectivity of the pores, these models display a phase transition from a macroscopically permeable (percol... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations%20defining%20abelian%20varieties | In mathematics, the concept of abelian variety is the higher-dimensional generalization of the elliptic curve. The equations defining abelian varieties are a topic of study because every abelian variety is a projective variety. In dimension d ≥ 2, however, it is no longer as straightforward to discuss such equations.
