https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%27t%20Hooft%20symbol | The t Hooft symbol is a collection of numbers which allows one to express the generators of the SU(2) Lie algebra in terms of the generators of Lorentz algebra. The symbol is a blend between the Kronecker delta and the Levi-Civita symbol. It was introduced by Gerard 't Hooft. It is used in the construction of the BPST ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral%20arcuate%20ligament | The lateral arcuate ligament (also lateral lumbocostal arch and external arcuate ligament) is a ligament under the diaphragm that arches across the upper part of the quadratus lumborum muscle. It is traversed by the subcostal nerve, artery and vein.
Structure
The lateral arcuate ligament runs from the front of the tra... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial%20arcuate%20ligament | The medial arcuate ligament (also medial lumbocostal arch and internal arcuate ligament) is a tendinous fascia that arches over the psoas major muscle as it passes posterior the diaphragm.
Structure
The medial arcuate ligament is an arch in the fascia covering the upper part of the psoas major. It is attached to the ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BPST%20instanton | In theoretical physics, the BPST instanton is the instanton with winding number 1 found by Alexander Belavin, Alexander Polyakov, Albert Schwarz and Yu. S. Tyupkin. It is a classical solution to the equations of motion of SU(2) Yang–Mills theory in Euclidean space-time (i.e. after Wick rotation), meaning it describes a... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pubic%20crest | Medial to the pubic tubercle is the pubic crest, which extends from this process to the medial end of the pubic bone.
It gives attachment to the conjoint tendon, the rectus abdominis, the abdominal external oblique muscle, and the pyramidalis muscle.
The point of junction of the crest with the medial border of the b... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottesman%E2%80%93Knill%20theorem | In quantum computing, the Gottesman–Knill theorem is a theoretical result by Daniel Gottesman and Emanuel Knill that states that stabilizer circuits, circuits that only consist of gates from the normalizer of the qubit Pauli group, also called Clifford group, can be perfectly simulated in polynomial time on a probabili... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia%20of%20Scarpa | The fascia of Scarpa is the deep membranous layer (stratum membranosum) of the superficial fascia of the abdomen. It is a layer of the anterior abdominal wall. It is found deep to the fascia of Camper and superficial to the external oblique muscle.
Structure
It is thinner and more membranous in character than the supe... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascia%20of%20Camper | The fascia of Camper is a thick superficial layer of the anterior abdominal wall.
It is areolar in texture, and contains in its meshes a varying quantity of adipose tissue. It is found superficial to the fascia of Scarpa.
Structure
Superficial fascia is composed of two layers: the fatty outer layer, known as Camper's... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopf%20conjecture | In mathematics, Hopf conjecture may refer to one of several conjectural statements from differential geometry and topology attributed to Heinz Hopf.
Positively or negatively curved Riemannian manifolds
The Hopf conjecture is an open problem in global Riemannian geometry. It goes back to questions of Heinz Hopf from ... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Care-of%20address | A care-of address (usually referred to as CoA) is a temporary IP address for a mobile device used in Internet routing. This allows a home agent to forward messages to the mobile device. A separate address is required because the IP address of the device that is used as host identification is topologically incorrect—it... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oppenheim%20conjecture | In Diophantine approximation, the Oppenheim conjecture concerns representations of numbers by real quadratic forms in several variables. It was formulated in 1929 by Alexander Oppenheim and later the conjectured property was further strengthened by Harold Davenport and Oppenheim. Initial research on this problem took t... |
