He is the inventor of the Helium Junction, which utilizes nanotechnology to separate isotopic h...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex%20measure
In mathematics, specifically measure theory, a complex measure generalizes the concept of measure by letting it have complex values. In other words, one allows for sets whose size (length, area, volume) is a complex number. Definition Formally, a complex measure on a measurable space is a complex-valued function ...

In theoretical physics, -form electrodynamics is a generalization of Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism. Ordinary (via. one-form) Abelian electrodynamics We have a one-form , a gauge symmetry where is any arbitrary fixed 0-form and is the exterior derivative, and a gauge-invariant vector current with density 1 s...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free%20Boolean%20algebra
In mathematics, a free Boolean algebra is a Boolean algebra with a distinguished set of elements, called generators, such that: Each element of the Boolean algebra can be expressed as a finite combination of generators, using the Boolean operations, and The generators are as independent as possible, in the sense that t...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom%20%28measure%20theory%29
In mathematics, more precisely in measure theory, an atom is a measurable set which has positive measure and contains no set of smaller positive measure. A measure which has no atoms is called non-atomic or atomless. Definition Given a measurable space and a measure on that space, a set in is called an atom if a...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schubert%20calculus
In mathematics, Schubert calculus is a branch of algebraic geometry introduced in the nineteenth century by Hermann Schubert, in order to solve various counting problems of projective geometry (part of enumerative geometry). It was a precursor of several more modern theories, for example characteristic classes, and in ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous%20recursion
In computer science, anonymous recursion is recursion which does not explicitly call a function by name. This can be done either explicitly, by using a higher-order function – passing in a function as an argument and calling it – or implicitly, via reflection features which allow one to access certain functions dependi...
