The Kerala school of astronomy and mathematics or the Kerala school was a school of mathematics and astronomy founded by Madhava of Sangamagrama in Tirur, Malappuram, Kerala, India, which included among its members: Parameshvara, Neelakanta Somayaji, Jyeshtadeva, Achyuta Pisharati, Melpathur Narayana Bhattathiri and Ac...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonality%20of%20an%20algebraic%20curve
In mathematics, the gonality of an algebraic curve C is defined as the lowest degree of a nonconstant rational map from C to the projective line. In more algebraic terms, if C is defined over the field K and K(C) denotes the function field of C, then the gonality is the minimum value taken by the degrees of field exten...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6the%20conjecture
In mathematics, the Köthe conjecture is a problem in ring theory, open . It is formulated in various ways. Suppose that R is a ring. One way to state the conjecture is that if R has no nil ideal, other than {0}, then it has no nil one-sided ideal, other than {0}. This question was posed in 1930 by Gottfried Köthe (190...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nil%20ideal
In mathematics, more specifically ring theory, a left, right or two-sided ideal of a ring is said to be a nil ideal if each of its elements is nilpotent. The nilradical of a commutative ring is an example of a nil ideal; in fact, it is the ideal of the ring maximal with respect to the property of being nil. Unfortuna...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruziewicz%20problem
In mathematics, the Ruziewicz problem (sometimes Banach–Ruziewicz problem) in measure theory asks whether the usual Lebesgue measure on the n-sphere is characterised, up to proportionality, by its properties of being finitely additive, invariant under rotations, and defined on all Lebesgue measurable sets. This was a...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation%20chemistry
Radiation chemistry is a subdivision of nuclear chemistry which studies the chemical effects of ionizing radiation on matter. This is quite different from radiochemistry, as no radioactivity needs to be present in the material which is being chemically changed by the radiation. An example is the conversion of water int...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ore%20condition
In mathematics, especially in the area of algebra known as ring theory, the Ore condition is a condition introduced by Øystein Ore, in connection with the question of extending beyond commutative rings the construction of a field of fractions, or more generally localization of a ring. The right Ore condition for a mult...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasiregular%20representation
This article addresses the notion of quasiregularity in the context of representation theory and topological algebra. For other notions of quasiregularity in mathematics, see the disambiguation page quasiregular. In mathematics, quasiregular representation is a concept of representation theory, for a locally compact g...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector%20fields%20on%20spheres
In mathematics, the discussion of vector fields on spheres was a classical problem of differential topology, beginning with the hairy ball theorem, and early work on the classification of division algebras. Specifically, the question is how many linearly independent smooth nowhere-zero vector fields can be constructed...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow%20surface
In mathematics, a Barlow surface is one of the complex surfaces introduced by . They are simply connected surfaces of general type with pg = 0. They are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to a projective plane blown up in 8 points. The Hodge diamond for the Barlow surfaces is: See also Hodge theory References Alg...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godeaux%20surface
In mathematics, a Godeaux surface is one of the surfaces of general type introduced by Lucien Godeaux in 1931. Other surfaces constructed in a similar way with the same Hodge numbers are also sometimes called Godeaux surfaces. Surfaces with the same Hodge numbers (such as Barlow surfaces) are called numerical Godeaux...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring-closing%20metathesis
Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) is a widely used variation of olefin metathesis in organic chemistry for the synthesis of various unsaturated rings via the intramolecular metathesis of two terminal alkenes, which forms the cycloalkene as the E- or Z- isomers and volatile ethylene. The most commonly synthesized ring siz...
