https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digermane
Digermane is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula . One of the few hydrides of germanium, it is a colourless liquid. Its molecular geometry is similar to ethane. Synthesis Digermane was first synthesized and examined in 1924 by Dennis, Corey, and Moore. Their method involves the hydrolysis of magnesium germanide using hydrochloric acid. Many of the properties of digermane and trigermane were determined in the following decade using electron diffraction studies. Further considerations of the compound involved examinations of various reactions such as pyrolysis and oxidation. Digermane is produced together with germane by the reduction of germanium dioxide with sodium borohydride. Although the major product is germane, a quantifiable amount of digermane is produced in addition to traces of trigermane. It also arises by the hydrolysis of magnesium-germanium alloys. Reactions The reactions of digermane exhibit some differences between analogous compounds of the Group 14 elements carbon and silicon. However, there are still some similarities seen, especially in regards to pyrolysis reactions. The oxidation of digermane takes place at lower temperatures than monogermane. The product of the reaction, germanium oxide, has been shown to act in turn as a catalyst of the reaction. This exemplifies a fundamental difference between germanium and the other Group 14 elements carbon and silicon (carbon dioxide and silicon dioxide do not exhibit the same catalytic properties). In liquid ammonia, digermane undergoes disproportionation. Ammonia acts as a weakly basic catalyst. Products of the reaction are hydrogen, germane, and a solid polymeric germanium hydride. Pyrolysis of digermane is proposed to follow multiple steps: This pyrolysis has been found to be more endothermic than the pyrolysis of disilane. This difference is attributed to the greater strength of the Ge-H bond vs the Si-H bond. As seen in the last reaction of the mechanism above, pyrolysis of digermane may induce polymerization of the group, where acts as a chain propagator and molecular hydrogen gas is released. The dehydrogenation of digermane on gold leads to the formation of germanium nanowires. Digermane is a precursor to , where E is either sulfur or selenium. These trifluoromethylthio () and trifluoromethylseleno () derivatives possess a markedly higher thermal stability than digermane itself. Applications Digermane has a limited number of applications; germane itself is the preferred volatile germanium hydride. Generally, digermane is primarily used a precursor to germanium for use in various applications. Digermane can be used to deposit Ge-containing semiconductors via chemical vapor deposition.

Jean-Louis Loday (12 January 1946 – 6 June 2012) was a French mathematician who worked on cyclic homology and who introduced Leibniz algebras (sometimes called Loday algebras) and Zinbiel algebras. He occasionally used the pseudonym Guillaume William Zinbiel, formed by reversing the last name of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. Education and career Loday studied at Lycée Louis-le-Grand and at École Normale Supérieure in Paris. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Strasbourg in 1975 under the supervision of Max Karoubi, with a dissertation titled K-Théorie algébrique et représentations de groupes. He went on to become a senior scientist at CNRS and a member of the Institute for Advanced Mathematical Research (IRMA) at the University of Strasbourg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniformly%20bounded%20representation
In mathematics, a uniformly bounded representation of a locally compact group on a Hilbert space is a homomorphism into the bounded invertible operators which is continuous for the strong operator topology, and such that is finite. In 1947 Béla Szőkefalvi-Nagy established that any uniformly bounded representation of the integers or the real numbers is unitarizable, i.e. conjugate by an invertible operator to a unitary representation. For the integers this gives a criterion for an invertible operator to be similar to a unitary operator: the operator norms of all the positive and negative powers must be uniformly bounded. The result on unitarizability of uniformly bounded representations was extended in 1950 by Dixmier, Day and Nakamura-Takeda to all locally compact amenable groups, following essentially the method of proof of Sz-Nagy. The result is known to fail for non-amenable groups such as SL(2,R) and the free group on two generators. conjectured that a locally compact group is amenable if and only if every uniformly bounded representation is unitarizable. Statement Let G be a locally compact amenable group and let Tg be a homomorphism of G into GL(H), the group of an invertible operators on a Hilbert space such that for every x in H the vector-valued gx on G is continuous; the operator norms of the operators Tg are uniformly bounded. Then there is a positive invertible operator S on H such that S Tg S−1 is unitary for every g in G. As a consequence, if T is an invertible operator with all its positive and negative powers uniformly bounded in operator norm, then T is conjugate by a positive invertible operator to a unitary. Proof By assumption the continuous functions generate a separable unital C* subalgebra A of the uniformly bounded continuous functions on G. By construction the algebra is invariant under left translation. By amenability there is an invariant state φ on A. It follows that is a new inner product on H satisfying where So there is a positive invertible operator P such that By construction Let S be the unique positive square root of P. Then Applying S−1 to x and y, it follows that Since the operators are invertible, it follows that they are unitary. Examples of non-unitarizable representations SL(2,R) The complementary series of irreducible unitary representations of SL(2,R) was introduced by . These representations can be realized on functions on the circle or on the real line: the Cayley transform provides the unitary equivalence between the two realizations. In fact for 0 < σ < 1/2 and f, g continuous functions on the circle define where Since the function kσ is integrable, this integral converges. In fact where the norms are the usual L2 norms. The functions are orthogonal with Since these quantities are positive, (f,g)σ defines an inner product. The Hilbert space completion is denoted by Hσ. For F, G continuous functions of compact support on R, define Since, regarded as distributions, the

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earle%E2%80%93Hamilton%20fixed-point%20theorem
In mathematics, the Earle–Hamilton fixed point theorem is a result in geometric function theory giving sufficient conditions for a holomorphic mapping of an open domain in a complex Banach space into itself to have a fixed point. The result was proved in 1968 by Clifford Earle and Richard S. Hamilton by showing that, with respect to the Carathéodory metric on the domain, the holomorphic mapping becomes a contraction mapping to which the Banach fixed-point theorem can be applied. Statement Let D be a connected open subset of a complex Banach space X and let f be a holomorphic mapping of D into itself such that: the image f(D) is bounded in norm; the distance between points f(D) and points in the exterior of D is bounded below by a positive constant. Then the mapping f has a unique fixed point x in D and if y is any point in D, the iterates fn(y) converge to x. Proof Replacing D by an ε-neighbourhood of f(D), it can be assumed that D is itself bounded in norm. For z in D and v in X, set where the supremum is taken over all holomorphic functions g on D with |g(z)| < 1. Define the α-length of a piecewise differentiable curve γ:[0,1] D by The Carathéodory metric is defined by for x and y in D. It is a continuous function on D x D for the norm topology. If the diameter of D is less than R then, by taking suitable holomorphic functions g of the form with a in X* and b in C, it follows that and hence that In particular d defines a metric on D. The chain rule implies that and hence f satisfies the following generalization of the Schwarz-Pick inequality: For δ sufficiently small and y fixed in D, the same inequality can be applied to the holomorphic mapping and yields the improved estimate: The Banach fixed-point theorem can be applied to the restriction of f to the closure of f(D) on which d defines a complete metric, defining the same topology as the norm. Other holomorphic fixed point theorems In finite dimensions the existence of a fixed point can often be deduced from the Brouwer fixed point theorem without any appeal to holomorphicity of the mapping. In the case of bounded symmetric domains with the Bergman metric, and showed that the same scheme of proof as that used in the Earle-Hamilton theorem applies. The bounded symmetric domain D = G / K is a complete metric space for the Bergman metric. The open semigroup of the complexification Gc taking the closure of D into D acts by contraction mappings, so again the Banach fixed-point theorem can be applied. Neretin extended this argument by continuity to some infinite-dimensional bounded symmetric domains, in particular the Siegel generalized disk of symmetric Hilbert-Schmidt operators with operator norm less than 1. The Earle-Hamilton theorem applies equally well in this case. References Theorems in complex analysis Fixed-point theorems
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossard%20perspector
In geometry the Gossard perspector (also called the Zeeman–Gossard perspector) is a special point associated with a plane triangle. It is a triangle center and it is designated as X(402) in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. The point was named Gossard perspector by John Conway in 1998 in honour of Harry Clinton Gossard who discovered its existence in 1916. Later it was learned that the point had appeared in an article by Christopher Zeeman published during 1899 – 1902. From 2003 onwards the Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers has been referring to this point as Zeeman–Gossard perspector. Definition Gossard triangle Let ABC be any triangle. Let the Euler line of triangle ABC meet the sidelines BC, CA and AB of triangle ABC at D, E and F respectively. Let AgBgCg be the triangle formed by the Euler lines of the triangles AEF, BFD and CDE, the vertex Ag being the intersection of the Euler lines of the triangles BFD and CDE, and similarly for the other two vertices. The triangle AgBgCg is called the Gossard triangle of triangle ABC. Gossard perspector Let ABC be any triangle and let AgBgCg be its Gossard triangle. Then the lines AAg, BBg and CCg are concurrent. The point of concurrence is called the Gossard perspector of triangle ABC. Properties Let AgBgCg be the Gossard triangle of triangle ABC. The lines BgCg, CgAg and AgBg are respectively parallel to the lines BC, CA and AB. Any triangle and its Gossard triangle are congruent. Any triangle and its Gossard triangle have the same Euler line. The Gossard triangle of triangle ABC is the reflection of triangle ABC in the Gossard perspector. Trilinear coordinates The trilinear coordinates of the Gossard perspector of triangle ABC are ( f ( a, b, c ) : f ( b, c, a ) : f ( c, a, b ) ) where f ( a, b, c ) = p ( a, b, c ) y ( a, b, c ) / a where p ( a, b, c ) = 2a4 − a2b2 − a2c2 − ( b2 − c2 )2 and y ( a, b, c ) = a8 − a6 ( b2 + c2 ) + a4 ( 2b2 − c2 ) ( 2c2 − b2 ) + ( b2 − c2 )2 [ 3a2 ( b2 + c2 ) − b4 − c4 − 3b2c2 ] Generalisations The construction yielding the Gossard triangle of a triangle ABC can be generalised to produce triangles A'B'C'  which are congruent to triangle ABC and whose sidelines are parallel to the sidelines of triangle ABC. Generalisation 1 This result is due to Christopher Zeeman. Let l be any line parallel to the Euler line of triangle ABC. Let l intersect the sidelines BC, CA, AB of triangle ABC at X, Y, Z respectively. Let A'B'C'  be the triangle formed by the Euler lines of the triangles AYZ, BZX and CXY. Then triangle A'B'C'  is congruent to triangle ABC and its sidelines are parallel to the sidelines of triangle ABC. Generalisation 2 This generalisation is due to Paul Yiu. Let P be any point in the plane of the triangle ABC different from its centroid G. Let the line PG meet the sidelines BC, CA and AB at X, Y and Z respectively. Let the centroids of the triangles AYZ, BZX and CXY be Ga, Gb and Gc respectively. Let Pa be a point such tha
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal%20derivative
In applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, the fractal derivative or Hausdorff derivative is a non-Newtonian generalization of the derivative dealing with the measurement of fractals, defined in fractal geometry. Fractal derivatives were created for the study of anomalous diffusion, by which traditional approaches fail to factor in the fractal nature of the media. A fractal measure t is scaled according to tα. Such a derivative is local, in contrast to the similarly applied fractional derivative. Fractal calculus is formulated as a generalized of standard calculus Physical background Porous media, aquifers, turbulence, and other media usually exhibit fractal properties. Classical diffusion or dispersion laws based on random walks in free space (essentially the same result variously known as Fick's laws of diffusion, Darcy's law, and Fourier's law) are not applicable to fractal media. To address this, concepts such as distance and velocity must be redefined for fractal media; in particular, scales for space and time are to be transformed according to (xβ, tα). Elementary physical concepts such as velocity are redefined as follows for fractal spacetime (xβ, tα): , where Sα,β represents the fractal spacetime with scaling indices α and β. The traditional definition of velocity makes no sense in the non-differentiable fractal spacetime. Definition Based on above discussion, the concept of the fractal derivative of a function u(t) with respect to a fractal measure t has been introduced as follows: , A more general definition is given by . For a function y(t) on -perfect fractal set F the fractal derivative or -derivative of at t, is defined by . Motivation The derivatives of a function f can be defined in terms of the coefficients ak in the Taylor series expansion: From this approach one can directly obtain: This can be generalized approximating f with functions (xα-(x0)α)k: note: the lowest order coefficient still has to be b0=f(x0), since it's still the constant approximation of the function f at x0. Again one can directly obtain: The Fractal Maclaurin series of f(t) with fractal support F is as follows: Properties Expansion coefficients Just like in the Taylor series expansion, the coefficients bk can be expressed in terms of the fractal derivatives of order k of f: Proof idea: assuming exists, bk can be written as one can now use and since Connection with Derivative If for a given function f both the derivative Df and the fractal derivative Dαf exists, one can find an analog to the chain rule: The last step is motivated by the Implicit function theorem which, under appropriate conditions, gives us dx/dxα = (dxα/dx)−1 Similarly for the more general definition: Application in anomalous diffusion As an alternative modeling approach to the classical Fick's second law, the fractal derivative is used to derive a linear anomalous transport-diffusion equation underlying anomalous diffusion process, where 0 < α < 2, 0
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misleading%20graph
In statistics, a misleading graph, also known as a distorted graph, is a graph that misrepresents data, constituting a misuse of statistics and with the result that an incorrect conclusion may be derived from it. Graphs may be misleading by being excessively complex or poorly constructed. Even when constructed to display the characteristics of their data accurately, graphs can be subject to different interpretations, or unintended kinds of data can seemingly and ultimately erroneously be derived. Misleading graphs may be created intentionally to hinder the proper interpretation of data or accidentally due to unfamiliarity with graphing software, misinterpretation of data, or because data cannot be accurately conveyed. Misleading graphs are often used in false advertising. One of the first authors to write about misleading graphs was Darrell Huff, publisher of the 1954 book How to Lie with Statistics. The field of data visualization describes ways to present information that avoids creating misleading graphs. Misleading graph methods There are numerous ways in which a misleading graph may be constructed. Excessive usage The use of graphs where they are not needed can lead to unnecessary confusion/interpretation. Generally, the more explanation a graph needs, the less the graph itself is needed. Graphs do not always convey information better than tables. Biased labeling The use of biased or loaded words in the graph's title, axis labels, or caption may inappropriately prime the reader. Fabricated trends Similarly, attempting to draw trend lines through uncorrelated data may mislead the reader into believing a trend exists where there is none. This can be both the result of intentionally attempting to mislead the reader or due to the phenomenon of illusory correlation. Pie chart Comparing pie charts of different sizes could be misleading as people cannot accurately read the comparative area of circles. The usage of thin slices, which are hard to discern, may be difficult to interpret. The usage of percentages as labels on a pie chart can be misleading when the sample size is small. Making a pie chart 3D or adding a slant will make interpretation difficult due to distorted effect of perspective. Bar-charted pie graphs in which the height of the slices is varied may confuse the reader. Comparing pie charts Comparing data on barcharts is generally much easier. In the image below, it is very hard to tell where the blue sector is bigger than the green sector on the piecharts. 3D Pie chart slice perspective A perspective (3D) pie chart is used to give the chart a 3D look. Often used for aesthetic reasons, the third dimension does not improve the reading of the data; on the contrary, these plots are difficult to interpret because of the distorted effect of perspective associated with the third dimension. The use of superfluous dimensions not used to display the data of interest is discouraged for charts in general, not only for pie charts. In

In mathematics, the Ehrenpreis conjecture of Leon Ehrenpreis states that for any K greater than 1, any two closed Riemann surfaces of genus at least 2 have finite-degree covers which are K-quasiconformal: that is, the covers are arbitrarily close in the Teichmüller metric. A proof was announced by Jeremy Kahn and Vladimir Markovic in January 2011, using their proof of the Surface subgroup conjecture and a newly developed "good pants homology" theory. In June 2012, Kahn and Markovic were given the Clay Research Awards for their work on these two problems by the Clay Mathematics Institute at a ceremony at Oxford University.

Thus non-wellfounded mereology treats topologically circular, cyclical, repetitive, or other eventual self-containment. More formally, non-wellfounded partial orders may exhibit for some x whereas well-founded orders prohibit that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov%E2%80%93Kakutani%20fixed-point%20theorem
In mathematics, the Markov–Kakutani fixed-point theorem, named after Andrey Markov and Shizuo Kakutani, states that a commuting family of continuous affine self-mappings of a compact convex subset in a locally convex topological vector space has a common fixed point. This theorem is a key tool in one of the quickest proofs of amenability of abelian groups. Statement Let be a locally convex topological vector space, with a compact convex subset . Let be a family of continuous mappings of to itself which commute and are affine, meaning that for all in and in . Then the mappings in share a fixed point. Proof for a single affine self-mapping Let be a continuous affine self-mapping of . For in define a net in by Since is compact, there is a convergent subnet in : To prove that is a fixed point, it suffices to show that for every in the dual of . (The dual separates points by the Hahn-Banach theorem; this is where the assumption of local convexity is used.) Since is compact, is bounded on by a positive constant . On the other hand Taking and passing to the limit as goes to infinity, it follows that Hence Proof of theorem The set of fixed points of a single affine mapping is a non-empty compact convex set by the result for a single mapping. The other mappings in the family commute with so leave invariant. Applying the result for a single mapping successively, it follows that any finite subset of has a non-empty fixed point set given as the intersection of the compact convex sets as ranges over the subset. From the compactness of it follows that the set is non-empty (and compact and convex). Citations References Theorems in functional analysis Topological vector spaces Fixed-point theorems

The perfect triple cover of Fi22 has an irreducible representation of dimension 27 over the field with 4 elements. This arises from the fact that Fi22 is a subgroup of 2E6(22). All the ordinary and modular character tables of Fi22 have been computed. found the 5-modular character table, and found the 2- and 3-modular character tables. The automorphism group of Fi22 centralizes an element of order 3 in the baby monster group. Generalized Monstrous Moonshine Conway and Norton suggested in their 1979 paper that monstrous moonshine is not limited to the monster, but that similar phenomena may be found for other groups. Larissa Queen and others subsequently found that one can construct the expansions of many Hauptmoduln from simple combinations of dimensions of sporadic groups. For Fi22, the McKay-Thompson series is where one can set a(0) = 10 (), and η(τ) is the Dedekind eta function. Maximal subgroups found the 12 conjugacy classes of maximal subgroups of Fi22 as follows: 2·U6(2) O7(3) (Two classes, fused by an outer automorphism) O(2):S3 210:M22 26:S6(2) (2 × 21+8):(U4(2):2) U4(3):2 × S3 2F4(2)' (This is the Tits group) 25+8:(S3 × A6) 31+6:23+4:32:2 S10 (Two classes, fused by an outer automorphism) M12 References contains a complete proof of Fischer's theorem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression-kriging
In applied statistics and geostatistics, regression-kriging (RK) is a spatial prediction technique that combines a regression of the dependent variable on auxiliary variables (such as parameters derived from digital elevation modelling, remote sensing/imagery, and thematic maps) with interpolation (kriging) of the regression residuals. It is mathematically equivalent to the interpolation method variously called universal kriging and kriging with external drift, where auxiliary predictors are used directly to solve the kriging weights. BLUP for spatial data Regression-kriging is an implementation of the best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) for spatial data, i.e. the best linear interpolator assuming the universal model of spatial variation. Matheron (1969) proposed that a value of a target variable at some location can be modeled as a sum of the deterministic and stochastic components: which he termed universal model of spatial variation. Both deterministic and stochastic components of spatial variation can be modeled separately. By combining the two approaches, we obtain: where is the fitted deterministic part, is the interpolated residual, are estimated deterministic model coefficients ( is the estimated intercept), are kriging weights determined by the spatial dependence structure of the residual and where is the residual at location . The regression coefficients can be estimated from the sample by some fitting method, e.g. ordinary least squares (OLS) or, optimally, using generalized least squares (GLS): where is the vector of estimated regression coefficients, is the covariance matrix of the residuals, is a matrix of predictors at the sampling locations and is the vector of measured values of the target variable. The GLS estimation of regression coefficients is, in fact, a special case of the geographically weighted regression. In the case, the weights are determined objectively to account for the spatial auto-correlation between the residuals. Once the deterministic part of variation has been estimated (regression-part), the residual can be interpolated with kriging and added to the estimated trend. The estimation of the residuals is an iterative process: first the deterministic part of variation is estimated using OLS, then the covariance function of the residuals is used to obtain the GLS coefficients. Next, these are used to re-compute the residuals, from which an updated covariance function is computed, and so on. Although this is by many geostatisticians recommended as the proper procedure, Kitanidis (1994) showed that use of the covariance function derived from the OLS residuals (i.e. a single iteration) is often satisfactory, because it is not different enough from the function derived after several iterations; i.e. it does not affect much the final predictions. Minasny and McBratney (2007) report similar results—it seems that using more higher quality data is more important than to use more sophisticated statistical

The reserve is one of the oldest protected areas in the world having a history of about 1700 years. It was founded in the 4th century (334–338) by the order of Khosrov Kotak, King of Armenia who gave it his name. It was founded to improve the natural climatic conditions of adjacent territories of Artashat – the capital city of Armenia of the given period and the newly established city of Dvin to ensure conservation and enrichment of flora and fauna species; serve as a ground for royal hunting, military exercises and entertainments. This area was designated as a state reserve in September 1958 and covers around at elevations from 700 to above sea level. The Khosrov reserve protects juniper (Juniperus polycarpos) and oak (Quercus macranthera) forests from Tertiary Period, arid associations of semi-desert and phrygana landscapes and other Mediterranean relict plant ecosystems as well as the genetic fund of rare animals and plants adapted to the reserve conditions. It also includes wetlands of international importance. Khosrov Forest State Reserve, thanks to its numerous peculiarities, is unique not only in Armenia but also in the whole Caucasus ecoregion. Since 2002, administrative, scientific, practical and organizational activities in the reserve have been implemented by the Khosrov Forest State Reserve State Non-Commercial Organization (SNCO) of the Bioresources Management Agency under the aegis of the Ministry of Nature Protection of Armenia. According to the reserved charter (RA Governmental decision N 925 from 30 May 2002, Annex 1), the main goals of the reserve establishment are to ensure natural development of water and terrestrial ecosystems of the rivers Azat and Vedi basins, to protect the landscapes and biological diversity including the genetic fund of rare and endangered plants and animals as well as their habitats, to implement scientific research and to create prerequisites for the development of scientific and educational tourism, environmental education and responsibility. The following protected areas are under the subordination of the Khosrov Forest State Reserve: SNCO: Khosrov Forest state reserve, which at present is divided into four districts- Garni (4253ha), Kaqavaberd (4745ha), Khosrov (6860.8ha), and Khachadzor (7354.7ha). Goravan Sands state sanctuary (95.99ha) Khor Virap State Sanctuary (50.28ha) Realizing the importance of the reserve, on 26 August 2013 Khosrov Forest State Reserve SNCO was awarded with European Diploma of Protected Areas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized%20beta%20distribution
In probability and statistics, the generalized beta distribution is a continuous probability distribution with four shape parameters (however it's customary to make explicit the scale parameter as a fifth parameter, while the location parameter is usually left implicit), including more than thirty named distributions as limiting or special cases. It has been used in the modeling of income distribution, stock returns, as well as in regression analysis. The exponential generalized beta (EGB) distribution follows directly from the GB and generalizes other common distributions. Definition A generalized beta random variable, Y, is defined by the following probability density function: and zero otherwise. Here the parameters satisfy , and , , and positive. The function B(p,q) is the beta function. The parameter is the scale parameter and can thus be set to without loss of generality, but it is usually made explicit as in the function above (while the location parameter is usually left implicit and set to as in the function above). Properties Moments It can be shown that the hth moment can be expressed as follows: where denotes the hypergeometric series (which converges for all h if c<1, or for all h/a<q if c=1 ). Related distributions The generalized beta encompasses many distributions as limiting or special cases. These are depicted in the GB distribution tree shown above. Listed below are its three direct descendants, or sub-families. Generalized beta of first kind (GB1) The generalized beta of the first kind is defined by the following pdf: for where , , and are positive. It is easily verified that The moments of the GB1 are given by The GB1 includes the beta of the first kind (B1), generalized gamma(GG), and Pareto as special cases: Generalized beta of the second kind (GB2) The GB2 is defined by the following pdf: for and zero otherwise. One can verify that The moments of the GB2 are given by The GB2 is also known as the Generalized Beta Prime (Patil, Boswell, Ratnaparkhi (1984)), the transformed beta (Venter, 1983), the generalized F (Kalfleisch and Prentice, 1980), and is a special case (μ≡0) of the Feller-Pareto (Arnold, 1983) distribution. The GB2 nests common distributions such as the generalized gamma (GG), Burr type 3, Burr type 12, Dagum, lognormal, Weibull, gamma, Lomax, F statistic, Fisk or Rayleigh, chi-square, half-normal, half-Student's t, exponential, asymmetric log-Laplace, log-Laplace, power function, and the log-logistic. Beta The beta family of distributions (B) is defined by: for and zero otherwise. Its relation to the GB is seen below: The beta family includes the beta of the first and second kind (B1 and B2, where the B2 is also referred to as the Beta prime), which correspond to c = 0 and c = 1, respectively. Setting , yields the standard two-parameter beta distribution. Generalized Gamma The generalized gamma distribution (GG) is a limiting case of the GB2. Its PDF is defined by: with the

In mathematics and mathematical physics, a coordinate basis or holonomic basis for a differentiable manifold is a set of basis vector fields defined at every point of a region of the manifold as where is the displacement vector between the point and a nearby point whose coordinate separation from is along the coordinate curve (i.e. the curve on the manifold through for which the local coordinate varies and all other coordinates are constant). It is possible to make an association between such a basis and directional derivative operators. Given a parameterized curve on the manifold defined by with the tangent vector , where , and a function defined in a neighbourhood of , the variation of along can be written as Since we have that , the identification is often made between a coordinate basis vector and the partial derivative operator , under the interpretation of vectors as operators acting on functions. A local condition for a basis to be holonomic is that all mutual Lie derivatives vanish: A basis that is not holonomic is called an anholonomic, non-holonomic or non-coordinate basis. Given a metric tensor on a manifold , it is in general not possible to find a coordinate basis that is orthonormal in any open region of . An obvious exception is when is the real coordinate space considered as a manifold with being the Euclidean metric at every point.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm%20Ahrens
Wilhelm Ahrens (3 March 1872 – 23 May 1927) was a German mathematician and writer on recreational mathematics. Biography Ahrens was born in Lübz at the Elde in Mecklenburg and studied from 1890 to 1897 at the University of Rostock, Humboldt University of Berlin, and the University of Freiburg. In 1895 at the University of Rostock he received his Promotion (Ph.D.), summa cum laude, under the supervision of Otto Staude with dissertation entitled Über eine Gattung n-fach periodischer Functionen von n reellen Veränderlichen. From 1895 to 1896 he taught at the German school in Antwerp and then studied another semester under Sophus Lie in Leipzig. In 1897 Ahrens was a teacher in Magdeburg at the Baugewerkeschule, from 1901 at the engineering school. Inspired by Sophus Lie, he wrote "On transformation groups, all of whose subgroups are invariant" (Hamburger Math Society Vol 4, 1902). He worked a lot on the history of mathematics and mathematical games (recreational mathematics), about which he wrote a great work and also contributed to the Encyclopedia of mathematical sciences His predecessors were the great Jacques Ozanam in France, where the number theorist Édouard Lucas (1842–1891) in the 19th century wrote similar books, and Walter William Rouse Ball (1850–1925) in England (Mathematical recreations and essays 1892), Sam Loyd (1841–1901) in the U.S. and Henry Dudeney (1857–1930) in England. In this sense Martin Gardner (1914-2010) and Ian Stewart, the editor of the math column in Scientific American, might be regarded as his successors. He also wrote a book of quotations and anecdotes about mathematicians. He was the author of numerous journal articles. Scherz und Ernst in der Mathematik According to R. C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kneser%27s%20theorem%20%28combinatorics%29
In the branch of mathematics known as additive combinatorics, Kneser's theorem can refer to one of several related theorems regarding the sizes of certain sumsets in abelian groups. These are named after Martin Kneser, who published them in 1953 and 1956. They may be regarded as extensions of the Cauchy–Davenport theorem, which also concerns sumsets in groups but is restricted to groups whose order is a prime number. The first three statements deal with sumsets whose size (in various senses) is strictly smaller than the sum of the size of the summands. The last statement deals with the case of equality for Haar measure in connected compact abelian groups. Strict inequality If is an abelian group and is a subset of , the group is the stabilizer of . Cardinality Let be an abelian group. If and are nonempty finite subsets of satisfying and is the stabilizer of , then This statement is a corollary of the statement for LCA groups below, obtained by specializing to the case where the ambient group is discrete. A self-contained proof is provided in Nathanson's textbook. Lower asymptotic density in the natural numbers The main result of Kneser's 1953 article is a variant of Mann's theorem on Schnirelmann density. If is a subset of , the lower asymptotic density of is the number . Kneser's theorem for lower asymptotic density states that if and are subsets of satisfying , then there is a natural number such that satisfies the following two conditions: is finite, and Note that , since . Haar measure in locally compact abelian (LCA) groups Let be an LCA group with Haar measure and let denote the inner measure induced by (we also assume is Hausdorff, as usual). We are forced to consider inner Haar measure, as the sumset of two -measurable sets can fail to be -measurable. Satz 1 of Kneser's 1956 article can be stated as follows: If and are nonempty -measurable subsets of satisfying , then the stabilizer is compact and open. Thus is compact and open (and therefore -measurable), being a union of finitely many cosets of . Furthermore, Equality in connected compact abelian groups Because connected groups have no proper open subgroups, the preceding statement immediately implies that if is connected, then for all -measurable sets and . Examples where can be found when is the torus and and are intervals. Satz 2 of Kneser's 1956 article says that all examples of sets satisfying equation () with non-null summands are obvious modifications of these. To be precise: if is a connected compact abelian group with Haar measure and are -measurable subsets of satisfying , and equation (), then there is a continuous surjective homomorphism and there are closed intervals , in such that , , , and .

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Conway group Co2}} In the area of modern algebra known as group theory, the Conway group Co2 is a sporadic simple group of order    218365371123 = 42305421312000 ≈ 4. History and properties Co2 is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was discovered by as the group of automorphisms of the Leech lattice Λ fixing a lattice vector of type 2. It is thus a subgroup of Co0. It is isomorphic to a subgroup of Co1. The direct product 2×Co2 is maximal in Co0. The Schur multiplier and the outer automorphism group are both trivial. Representations Co2 acts as a rank 3 permutation group on 2300 points. These points can be identified with planar hexagons in the Leech lattice having 6 type 2 vertices. Co2 acts on the 23-dimensional even integral lattice with no roots of determinant 4, given as a sublattice of the Leech lattice orthogonal to a norm 4 vector. Over the field with 2 elements it has a 22-dimensional faithful representation; this is the smallest faithful representation over any field. showed that if a finite group has an absolutely irreducible faithful rational representation of dimension 23 and has no subgroups of index 23 or 24 then it is contained in either Z/2Z × Co2 or Z/2Z × Co3. The Mathieu group M23 is isomorphic to a maximal subgroup of Co2 and one representation, in permutation matrices, fixes the type 2 vector u = (-3,123). A block sum ζ of the involution η = and 5 copies of -η also fixes the same vector. Hence Co2 has a convenient matrix representation inside the standard representation of Co0. The trace of ζ is -8, while the involutions in M23 have trace 8. A 24-dimensional block sum of η and -η is in Co0 if and only if the number of copies of η is odd. Another representation fixes the vector v = (4,-4,022). A monomial and maximal subgroup includes a representation of M22:2, where any α interchanging the first 2 co-ordinates restores v by then negating the vector. Also included are diagonal involutions corresponding to octads (trace 8), 16-sets (trace -8), and dodecads (trace 0). It can be shown that Co2 has just 3 conjugacy classes of involutions. η leaves (4,-4,0,0) unchanged; the block sum ζ provides a non-monomial generator completing this representation of Co2. There is an alternate way to construct the stabilizer of v. Now u and u+v = (1,-3,122) are vertices of a 2-2-2 triangle (vide infra). Then u, u+v, v, and their negatives form a coplanar hexagon fixed by ζ and M22; these generate a group Fi21 ≈ U6(2). α (vide supra) extends this to Fi21:2, which is maximal in Co2. Lastly, Co0 is transitive on type 2 points, so that a 23-cycle fixing u has a conjugate fixing v, and the generation is completed. Maximal subgroups Some maximal subgroups fix or reflect 2-dimensional sublattices of the Leech lattice. It is usual to define these planes by h-k-l triangles: triangles including the origin as a vertex, with edges (differences of vertices) being vectors of types h, k, and l. found the 11 conjugacy classes

This gives 23-dimensional representations over any field; over fields of characteristic 2 or 3 this can be reduced to a 22-dimensional faithful representation.

History and properties Co1 is one of the 26 sporadic groups and was discovered by John Horton Conway in 1968. It is the largest of the three sporadic Conway groups and can be obtained as the quotient of Co0 (group of automorphisms of the Leech lattice Λ that fix the origin) by its center, which consists of the scalar matrices ±1. It also appears at the top of the automorphism group of the even 26-dimensional unimodular lattice II25,1. Some rather cryptic comments in Witt's collected works suggest that he found the Leech lattice and possibly the order of its automorphism group in unpublished work in 1940. The outer automorphism group is trivial and the Schur multiplier has order 2. Involutions Co0 has 4 conjugacy classes of involutions; these collapse to 2 in Co1, but there are 4-elements in Co0 that correspond to a third class of involutions in Co1. An image of a dodecad has a centralizer of type 211:M12:2, which is contained in a maximal subgroup of type 211:M24. An image of an octad or 16-set has a centralizer of the form 21+8.O8+(2), a maximal subgroup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal-entropy%20martingale%20measure
In probability theory, the minimal-entropy martingale measure (MEMM) is the risk-neutral probability measure that minimises the entropy difference between the objective probability measure, , and the risk-neutral measure, . In incomplete markets, this is one way of choosing a risk-neutral measure (from the infinite number available) so as to still maintain the no-arbitrage conditions. The MEMM has the advantage that the measure will always be equivalent to the measure by construction. Another common choice of equivalent martingale measure is the minimal martingale measure, which minimises the variance of the equivalent martingale. For certain situations, the resultant measure will not be equivalent to . In a finite probability model, for objective probabilities and risk-neutral probabilities then one must minimise the Kullback–Leibler divergence subject to the requirement that the expected return is , where is the risk-free rate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective%20constant
In mathematics, the connective constant is a numerical quantity associated with self-avoiding walks on a lattice. It is studied in connection with the notion of universality in two-dimensional statistical physics models. While the connective constant depends on the choice of lattice so itself is not universal (similarly to other lattice-dependent quantities such as the critical probability threshold for percolation), it is nonetheless an important quantity that appears in conjectures for universal laws. Furthermore, the mathematical techniques used to understand the connective constant, for example in the recent rigorous proof by Duminil-Copin and Smirnov that the connective constant of the hexagonal lattice has the precise value , may provide clues to a possible approach for attacking other important open problems in the study of self-avoiding walks, notably the conjecture that self-avoiding walks converge in the scaling limit to the Schramm–Loewner evolution. Definition The connective constant is defined as follows. Let denote the number of n-step self-avoiding walks starting from a fixed origin point in the lattice. Since every n + m step self avoiding walk can be decomposed into an n-step self-avoiding walk and an m-step self-avoiding walk, it follows that . Then by applying Fekete's lemma to the logarithm of the above relation, the limit can be shown to exist. This number is called the connective constant, and clearly depends on the particular lattice chosen for the walk since does. The value of is precisely known only for two lattices, see below. For other lattices, has only been approximated numerically. It is conjectured that as n goes to infinity, where and , the critical amplitude, depend on the lattice, and the exponent , which is believed to be universal and dependent on the dimension of the lattice, is conjectured to be . Known values These values are taken from the 1998 Jensen–Guttmann paper and a more recent paper by Jacobsen, Scullard and Guttmann. The connective constant of the lattice, since each step on the hexagonal lattice corresponds to either two or three steps in it, can be expressed exactly as the largest real root of the polynomial given the exact expression for the hexagonal lattice connective constant. More information about these lattices can be found in the percolation threshold article. Duminil-Copin–Smirnov proof In 2010, Hugo Duminil-Copin and Stanislav Smirnov published the first rigorous proof of the fact that for the hexagonal lattice. This had been conjectured by Nienhuis in 1982 as part of a larger study of O(n) models using renormalization techniques. The rigorous proof of this fact came from a program of applying tools from complex analysis to discrete probabilistic models that has also produced impressive results about the Ising model among others. The argument relies on the existence of a parafermionic observable that satisfies half of the discrete Cauchy–Riemann equations for the hex

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathieu%20groupoid
In mathematics, the Mathieu groupoid M13 is a groupoid acting on 13 points such that the stabilizer of each point is the Mathieu group M12. It was introduced by and studied in detail by . Construction The projective plane of order 3 has 13 points and 13 lines, each containing 4 points. The Mathieu groupoid can be visualized as a sliding block puzzle by placing 12 counters on 12 of the 13 points of the projective plane. A move consists of moving a counter from any point x to the empty point y, then exchanging the 2 other counters on the line containing x and y. The Mathieu groupoid consists of the permutations that can be obtained by composing several moves. This is not a group because two operations A and B can only be composed if the empty point after carrying out A is the empty point at the beginning of B. It is in fact a groupoid (a category such that every morphism is invertible) whose 13 objects are the 13 points, and whose morphisms from x to y are the operations taking the empty point from x to y. The morphisms fixing the empty point form a group isomorphic to the Mathieu group M12 with 12×11×10×9×8 elements. References External links The Mathieu groupoid Sporadic groups John Horton Conway

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bauerian%20extension
In mathematics, in the field of algebraic number theory, a Bauerian extension is a field extension of an algebraic number field which is characterized by the prime ideals with inertial degree one in the extension. For a finite degree extension L/K of an algebraic number field K we define P(L/K) to be the set of primes p of K which have a factor P with inertial degree one (that is, the residue field of P has the same order as the residue field of p). Bauer's theorem states that if M/K is a finite degree Galois extension, then P(M/K) ⊇ P(L/K) if and only if M ⊆ L. In particular, finite degree Galois extensions N of K are characterised by set of prime ideals which split completely in N. An extension F/K is Bauerian if it obeys Bauer's theorem: that is, for every finite extension L of K, we have P(F/K) ⊇ P(L/K) if and only if L contains a subfield K-isomorphic to F. All field extensions of degree at most 4 over Q are Bauerian. An example of a non-Bauerian extension is the Galois extension of Q by the roots of 2x5 − 32x + 1, which has Galois group S5.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological%20compass
There are a number of different specialized magnetic compasses used by geologists to measure orientation of geological structures, as they map in the field, to analyze and document the geometry of bedding planes, joints, and/or metamorphic foliations and lineations. In this aspect the most common device used to date is the analogue compass. Classic geological compasses Classic geological compasses that are of practical use combine two functions, direction finding and navigation (especially in remote areas), and the ability to measure strike and dip of bedding surfaces and/or metamorphic foliation planes. Structural geologists (i.e. those concerned with geometry and the pattern of relative movement) also have a need to measure the plunge and plunge direction of lineations. Compasses in common use include the Brunton compass and the Silva compass. Modern geological compasses The concept of modern geological compass was developed by Eberhard Clar of the University of Vienna during his work as structural geologist, which he published it in 1954. An advantage of his concept is that strike and dip is measured in one step, using the vertical circle for dip angle and the compass for the strike direction. The first implementation was by the VEB Freiberger Präzisionsmechanik in Freiberg, Germany. The details of the design were made in a close cooperation with the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology. In 2016 Brunton Inc. introduced the Axis Pocket Transit which, for the first time, offered simultaneous measurements of both strike and dip and trend and plunge in a variety of configurations. It featured an unconventional lid design that swung a full 360 degrees in both directions and two axes that allow precise measurement of vertical and horizontal angles on all configurations of bedding surfaces. Usage Geological compasses are distinctive because of the anti-clockwise direction of the numbers on the compass dial. This is because the compass is used to determine dip and dip-direction of surfaces (foliations), and plunge and plunge-direction of lines (lineations). To use the compass one aligns the lid of the compass with the orientation of the surface to be measured (to obtain dip and dip direction), or the edge of the lid of the compass with the orientation of the line (to obtain plunge and plunge direction). The compass must be twisted so that the base of the compass becomes horizontal, as accomplished using the spirit level incorporated in it. The needle of the compass is then freed by using the side button, and allowed to spin until the damping action slows its movement, and then stabilises. The side button is released and the needle is then firmly held in place, allowing the user thereafter to conveniently read the orientation measured. One first reads the scale that shows the angle subtended by the lid of the compass, and then depending on the colour shown (red or black) the end of the compass needle with the corresponding colour.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wythoff%20array
In mathematics, the Wythoff array is an infinite matrix of integers derived from the Fibonacci sequence and named after Dutch mathematician Willem Abraham Wythoff. Every positive integer occurs exactly once in the array, and every integer sequence defined by the Fibonacci recurrence can be derived by shifting a row of the array. The Wythoff array was first defined by using Wythoff pairs, the coordinates of winning positions in Wythoff's game. It can also be defined using Fibonacci numbers and Zeckendorf's theorem, or directly from the golden ratio and the recurrence relation defining the Fibonacci numbers. Values The Wythoff array has the values . Equivalent definitions Inspired by a similar Stolarsky array previously defined by , defined the Wythoff array as follows. Let denote the golden ratio; then the th winning position in Wythoff's game is given by the pair of positive integers , where the numbers on the left and right sides of the pair define two complementary Beatty sequences that together include each positive integer exactly once. Morrison defines the first two numbers in row of the array to be the Wythoff pair given by the equation , and where the remaining numbers in each row are determined by the Fibonacci recurrence relation. That is, if denotes the entry in row and column of the array, then , , and for . The Zeckendorf representation of any positive integer is a representation as a sum of distinct Fibonacci numbers, no two of which are consecutive in the Fibonacci sequence. As describes, the numbers within each row of the array have Zeckendorf representation that differ by a shift operation from each other, and the numbers within each column have Zeckendorf representations that all use the same smallest Fibonacci number. In particular the entry of the array is the th smallest number whose Zeckendorf representation begins with the th Fibonacci number. Properties Each Wythoff pair occurs exactly once in the Wythoff array, as a consecutive pair of numbers in the same row, with an odd index for the first number and an even index for the second. Because each positive integer occurs in exactly one Wythoff pair, each positive integer occurs exactly once in the array . Every sequence of positive integers satisfying the Fibonacci recurrence occurs, shifted by at most finitely many positions, in the Wythoff array. In particular, the Fibonacci sequence itself is the first row, and the sequence of Lucas numbers appears in shifted form in the second row . References . . .

In single-variable differential calculus, the fundamental increment lemma is an immediate consequence of the definition of the derivative of a function at a point : The lemma asserts that the existence of this derivative implies the existence of a function such that for sufficiently small but non-zero . For a proof, it suffices to define and verify this meets the requirements. The lemma says, at least when is sufficiently close to zero, that the difference quotient can be written as the derivative f plus an error term that vanishes at . I.e. one has, Differentiability in higher dimensions In that the existence of uniquely characterises the number , the fundamental increment lemma can be said to characterise the differentiability of single-variable functions. For this reason, a generalisation of the lemma can be used in the definition of differentiability in multivariable calculus. In particular, suppose f maps some subset of to . Then f is said to be differentiable at a if there is a linear function and a function such that for non-zero h sufficiently close to 0. In this case, M is the unique derivative (or total derivative, to distinguish from the directional and partial derivatives) of f at a. Notably, M is given by the Jacobian matrix of f evaluated at a'. We can write the above equation in terms of the partial derivatives as See also Generalizations of the derivative References Differential calculus
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central%20line%20%28geometry%29
In geometry, central lines are certain special straight lines that lie in the plane of a triangle. The special property that distinguishes a straight line as a central line is manifested via the equation of the line in trilinear coordinates. This special property is related to the concept of triangle center also. The concept of a central line was introduced by Clark Kimberling in a paper published in 1994. Definition Let be a plane triangle and let be the trilinear coordinates of an arbitrary point in the plane of triangle . A straight line in the plane of whose equation in trilinear coordinates has the form where the point with trilinear coordinates is a triangle center, is a central line in the plane of relative to . Central lines as trilinear polars The geometric relation between a central line and its associated triangle center can be expressed using the concepts of trilinear polars and isogonal conjugates. Let be a triangle center. The line whose equation is is the trilinear polar of the triangle center . Also the point is the isogonal conjugate of the triangle center . Thus the central line given by the equation is the trilinear polar of the isogonal conjugate of the triangle center Construction of central lines Let be any triangle center of . Draw the lines and their reflections in the internal bisectors of the angles at the vertices respectively. The reflected lines are concurrent and the point of concurrence is the isogonal conjugate of . Let the cevians meet the opposite sidelines of at respectively. The triangle is the cevian triangle of . The and the cevian triangle are in perspective and let be the axis of perspectivity of the two triangles. The line is the trilinear polar of the point . is the central line associated with the triangle center . Some named central lines Let be the th triangle center in Clark Kimberling's Encyclopedia of Triangle Centers. The central line associated with is denoted by . Some of the named central lines are given below. Central line associated with X1, the incenter: Antiorthic axis The central line associated with the incenter (also denoted by ) is This line is the antiorthic axis of . The isogonal conjugate of the incenter of is the incenter itself. So the antiorthic axis, which is the central line associated with the incenter, is the axis of perspectivity of and its incentral triangle (the cevian triangle of the incenter of ). The antiorthic axis of is the axis of perspectivity of and the excentral triangle of . The triangle whose sidelines are externally tangent to the excircles of is the extangents triangle of . and its extangents triangle are in perspective and the axis of perspectivity is the antiorthic axis of .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular%20integral%20operators%20of%20convolution%20type
In mathematics, singular integral operators of convolution type are the singular integral operators that arise on Rn and Tn through convolution by distributions; equivalently they are the singular integral operators that commute with translations. The classical examples in harmonic analysis are the harmonic conjugation operator on the circle, the Hilbert transform on the circle and the real line, the Beurling transform in the complex plane and the Riesz transforms in Euclidean space. The continuity of these operators on L2 is evident because the Fourier transform converts them into multiplication operators. Continuity on Lp spaces was first established by Marcel Riesz. The classical techniques include the use of Poisson integrals, interpolation theory and the Hardy–Littlewood maximal function. For more general operators, fundamental new techniques, introduced by Alberto Calderón and Antoni Zygmund in 1952, were developed by a number of authors to give general criteria for continuity on Lp spaces. This article explains the theory for the classical operators and sketches the subsequent general theory. L2 theory Hilbert transform on the circle The theory for L2 functions is particularly simple on the circle. If f ∈ L2(T), then it has a Fourier series expansion Hardy space H2(T) consists of the functions for which the negative coefficients vanish, an = 0 for n < 0. These are precisely the square-integrable functions that arise as boundary values of holomorphic functions in the open unit disk. Indeed, f is the boundary value of the function in the sense that the functions defined by the restriction of F to the concentric circles |z| = r, satisfy The orthogonal projection P of L2(T) onto H2(T) is called the Szegő projection. It is a bounded operator on L2(T) with operator norm 1. By Cauchy's theorem Thus When r = 1, the integrand on the right-hand side has a singularity at θ = 0. The truncated Hilbert transform is defined by where δ = |1 – eiε|. Since it is defined as convolution with a bounded function, it is a bounded operator on L2(T). Now If f is a polynomial in z then By Cauchy's theorem the right-hand side tends to 0 uniformly as ε, and hence δ, tends to 0. So uniformly for polynomials. On the other hand, if u(z) = z it is immediate that Thus if f is a polynomial in z−1 without constant term uniformly. Define the Hilbert transform on the circle by Thus if f is a trigonometric polynomial uniformly. It follows that if f is any L2 function in the L2 norm. This is an immediate consequence of the result for trigonometric polynomials once it is established that the operators Hε are uniformly bounded in operator norm. But on [–π,π] The first term is bounded on the whole of [–π,π], so it suffices to show that the convolution operators Sε defined by are uniformly bounded. With respect to the orthonormal basis einθ convolution operators are diagonal and their operator norms are given by taking the supremum of the moduli of the Fo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbral%20moonshine
In mathematics, umbral moonshine is a mysterious connection between Niemeier lattices and Ramanujan's mock theta functions. It is a generalization of the Mathieu moonshine phenomenon connecting representations of the Mathieu group M24 with K3 surfaces. Mathieu moonshine The prehistory of Mathieu moonshine starts with a theorem of Mukai, asserting that any group of symplectic automorphisms of a K3 surface embeds in the Mathieu group M23. The moonshine observation arose from physical considerations: any K3 sigma-model conformal field theory has an action of the N=(4,4) superconformal algebra, arising from a hyperkähler structure. When computed the first few terms of the decomposition of the elliptic genus of a K3 CFT into characters of the N=(4,4) superconformal algebra, they found that the multiplicities matched well with simple combinations of representations of M24. However, by the Mukai–Kondo classification, there is no faithful action of this group on any K3 surface by symplectic automorphisms, and by work of Gaberdiel–Hohenegger–Volpato, there is no faithful action on any K3 CFT, so the appearance of an action on the underlying Hilbert space is still a mystery. Eguchi and Hikami showed that the N=(4,4) multiplicities are mock modular forms, and Miranda Cheng suggested that characters of elements of M24 should also be mock modular forms. This suggestion became the Mathieu Moonshine conjecture, asserting that the virtual representation of N=(4,4) given by the K3 elliptic genus is an infinite dimensional graded representation of M24 with non-negative multiplicities in the massive sector, and that the characters are mock modular forms. In 2012, Terry Gannon proved that the representation of M24 exists. Umbral moonshine In 2012, amassed numerical evidence of an extension of Mathieu moonshine, where families of mock modular forms were attached to divisors of 24. After some group-theoretic discussion with Glauberman, found that this earlier extension was a special case (the A-series) of a more natural encoding by Niemeier lattices. For each Niemeier root system X, with corresponding lattice LX, they defined an umbral group GX, given by the quotient of the automorphism group of LX by the subgroup of reflections- these are also known as the stabilizers of deep holes in the Leech lattice. They conjectured that for each X, there is an infinite dimensional graded representation KX of GX, such that the characters of elements are given by a list of vector-valued mock modular forms that they computed. The candidate forms satisfy minimality properties quite similar to the genus-zero condition for Monstrous moonshine. These minimality properties imply the mock modular forms are uniquely determined by their shadows, which are vector-valued theta series constructed from the root system. The special case where X is the A124 root system yields precisely Mathieu Moonshine. The umbral moonshine conjecture has been proved in . The name of umb

It occurs, for example in the inflation-restriction exact sequence in group cohomology, and in integration in fibers. It also naturally arises in many spectral sequences; see spectral sequence#Edge maps and transgressions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrus%20Derman
Cyrus Derman (July 16, 1925 – April 27, 2011) was an American mathematician and amateur musician who did research in Markov decision process, stochastic processes, operations research, statistics and a variety of other fields. Early life Derman grew up in Collingdale Pennsylvania. He was the son of a grocery store owner who came to the US from Lithuania. As a young boy he was often invited to at a Philadelphia radio show for talented children. Although his initial dream was to become a concert violinist, in the end he chose to study mathematics. Indeed, after he finished his undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania in music and mathematics, he went on to Columbia University for his graduate work in mathematical statistics. At Columbia he was privileged to work with many of the important US statisticians and probabilists of that time. Career After taking his Ph.D., Derman joined the Department of Industrial Engineering at Columbia University in 1954 as an instructor in Operations Research. He rose to the rank of Professor of Operations Research in 1965 and retired in 1992. He was a key figure in operations research at Columbia during his 38 years there. He was instrumental in the formation of the Columbia Industrial Engineering and Operations Research Department in 1977, which rose to be one of the top departments in that field. In addition, professor Derman held visiting appointments and taught at Syracuse University, Stanford University, University of California Berkeley, University of California Davis, Imperial College (London) and The Technion (Israel). Dr. Derman was an excellent teacher at all levels who managed to make difficult ideas easy for students to learn. He was also a dedicated and helpful advisor to 17 Ph.D. students and he has 260 descendants listed at the Mathematics Genealogy Project. Dr. Derman did fundamental research in Markov decision processes, i.e., sequential decisions under uncertainty, including an important book on the subject. He also did significant work in optimal maintenance, stochastic assignment, surveillance, quality control, clinical trials, queueing and inventory depletion management among others.

James S. Milne (born 10 October 1942 in Invercargill, New Zealand) is a New Zealand mathematician working in arithmetic geometry. Life Milne attended the High School in Invercargill in New Zealand until 1959, and then studied at the University of Otago in Dunedin (B.A. 1964) and Harvard University (Masters 1966, Ph.D. 1967 under John Tate). From then to 1969 he was a lecturer at University College London. After that he was at the University of Michigan, as Assistant Professor (1969–1972), Associate Professor (1972–1977), Professor (1977–2000), and Professor Emeritus (since 2000). He has also been a visiting professor at King's College London, at the Institut des hautes études scientifiques in Paris (1975, 1978), at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in Berkeley, California (1986–87), and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey (1976–77, 1982, 1988). In his dissertation, entitled "The conjectures of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer for constant abelian varieties over function fields," he proved the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer for constant abelian varieties over function fields in one variable over a finite field. He also gave the first examples of nonzero abelian varieties with finite Tate–Shafarevich group. He went on to study Shimura varieties (certain hermitian symmetric spaces, low-dimensional examples being modular curves) and motives. His students include Piotr Blass, Michael Bester, Matthew DeLong, Pierre Giguere, William Hawkins Jr, Matthias Pfau, Victor Scharaschkin, Stefan Treatman, Anthony Vazzana, and Wafa Wei.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear%20arboricity
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, the linear arboricity of an undirected graph is the smallest number of linear forests its edges can be partitioned into. Here, a linear forest is an acyclic graph with maximum degree two; that is, it is a disjoint union of path graphs. Linear arboricity is a variant of arboricity, the minimum number of forests into which the edges can be partitioned. The linear arboricity of any graph of maximum degree is known to be at least and is conjectured to be at most . This conjecture would determine the linear arboricity exactly for graphs of odd degree, as in that case both expressions are equal. For graphs of even degree it would imply that the linear arboricity must be one of only two possible values, but determining the exact value among these two choices is NP-complete. Relation to degree The linear arboricity of a graph with maximum degree is always at least , because each linear forest can use only two of the edges at a maximum-degree vertex. The linear arboricity conjecture of is that this lower bound is also tight: according to their conjecture, every graph has linear arboricity at most . However, this remains unproven, with the best proven upper bound on the linear arboricity being somewhat larger, for some constant due to Ferber, Fox and Jain. In order for the linear arboricity of a graph to equal , must be even and each linear forest must have two edges incident to each vertex of degree . But at a vertex that is at the end of a path, the forest containing that path has only one incident edge, so the degree at that vertex cannot equal . Thus, a graph whose linear arboricity equals must have some vertices whose degree is less than maximum. In a regular graph, there are no such vertices, and the linear arboricity cannot equal . Therefore, for regular graphs, the linear arboricity conjecture implies that the linear arboricity is exactly . Related problems Linear arboricity is a variation of arboricity, the minimum number of forests that the edges of a graph can be partitioned into. Researchers have also studied linear -arboricity, a variant of linear arboricity in which each path in the linear forest can have at most edges. Another related problem is Hamiltonian decomposition, the problem of decomposing a regular graph of even degree into exactly Hamiltonian cycles. A given graph has a Hamiltonian decomposition if and only if the subgraph formed by removing an arbitrary vertex from the graph has linear arboricity . Computational complexity Unlike arboricity, which can be determined in polynomial time, linear arboricity is NP-hard. Even recognizing the graphs of linear arboricity two is NP-complete. However, for cubic graphs and other graphs of maximum degree three, the linear arboricity is always two, and a decomposition into two linear forests can be found in linear time using an algorithm based on depth-first search.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear%20forest
In graph theory, a branch of mathematics, a linear forest is a kind of forest formed from the disjoint union of path graphs. It is an undirected graph with no cycles in which every vertex has degree at most two. Linear forests are the same thing as claw-free forests. They are the graphs whose Colin de Verdière graph invariant is at most 1. The linear arboricity of a graph is the minimum number of linear forests into which the graph can be partitioned. For a graph of maximum degree , the linear arboricity is always at least , and it is conjectured that it is always at most . A linear coloring of a graph is a proper graph coloring in which the induced subgraph formed by each two colors is a linear forest. The linear chromatic number of a graph is the smallest number of colors used by any linear coloring. The linear chromatic number is at most proportional to , and there exist graphs for which it is at least proportional to this quantity. References Trees (graph theory) Graph families

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagao%27s%20theorem
In mathematics, Nagao's theorem, named after Hirosi Nagao, is a result about the structure of the group of 2-by-2 invertible matrices over the ring of polynomials over a field. It has been extended by Serre to give a description of the structure of the corresponding matrix group over the coordinate ring of a projective curve. Nagao's theorem For a general ring R we let GL2(R) denote the group of invertible 2-by-2 matrices with entries in R, and let R* denote the group of units of R, and let Then B(R) is a subgroup of GL2(R). Nagao's theorem states that in the case that R is the ring K[t] of polynomials in one variable over a field K, the group GL2(R) is the amalgamated product of GL2(K) and B(K[t]) over their intersection B(K). Serre's extension In this setting, C is a smooth projective curve C over a field K. For a closed point P of C let R be the corresponding coordinate ring of C with P removed. There exists a graph of groups (G,T) where T is a tree with at most one non-terminal vertex, such that GL2(R) is isomorphic to the fundamental group π1(G,T). References Theorems in group theory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%20class
In mathematics, specifically abstract algebra, a square class of a field is an element of the square class group, the quotient group of the multiplicative group of nonzero elements in the field modulo the square elements of the field. Each square class is a subset of the nonzero elements (a coset of the multiplicative group) consisting of the elements of the form xy2 where x is some particular fixed element and y ranges over all nonzero field elements. For instance, if , the field of real numbers, then is just the group of all nonzero real numbers (with the multiplication operation) and is the subgroup of positive numbers (as every positive number has a real square root). The quotient of these two groups is a group with two elements, corresponding to two cosets: the set of positive numbers and the set of negative numbers. Thus, the real numbers have two square classes, the positive numbers and the negative numbers. Square classes are frequently studied in relation to the theory of quadratic forms. The reason is that if is an -vector space and is a quadratic form and is an element of such that , then for all , and thus it is sometimes more convenient to talk about the square classes which the quadratic form represents. Every element of the square class group is an involution. It follows that, if the number of square classes of a field is finite, it must be a power of two. References Field (mathematics)

In mathematics, topological complexity of a topological space X (also denoted by TC(X)) is a topological invariant closely connected to the motion planning problem, introduced by Michael Farber in 2003. Definition Let X be a topological space and be the space of all continuous paths in X. Define the projection by . The topological complexity is the minimal number k such that there exists an open cover of , for each , there exists a local section Examples The topological complexity: TC(X) = 1 if and only if X is contractible. The topological complexity of the sphere is 2 for n odd and 3 for n even. For example, in the case of the circle , we may define a path between two points to be the geodesic between the points, if it is unique. Any pair of antipodal points can be connected by a counter-clockwise path. If is the configuration space of n distinct points in the Euclidean m-space, then The topological complexity of the Klein bottle is 5.

Tom Brooks (writer and theorist), born in London, England, is British author, draftsman and a proponent of Prehistoric geometry theories. Brooks was born in London and attended East Sheen Grammar School before returning to his family home in Devon where he attended Colyton Grammar School. His career included time spent in the Royal British Navy along with being a Marketing director and a draftsman. Brooks has concentrated on theorizing upon the layout and geometry of ancient sites in Britain and has published three books on the subject: The Hand of Man; Prehistoric Geometry in Britain; and 'Seeing Around Corners' – Geometry in Stone Age Britain – The Proof. In a survey of over 1500 ancient sites in Britain, Brooks claims that many were constructed by prehistoric man on a connecting grid of isosceles triangles spiraling outwards from Silbury Hill (pictured) with each triangle pointing to the next site. Monuments that comprised the grid included hillforts, standing stones, churches and stone circles such as Stonehenge. Archaeologists have made the criticism that many such patterns can be easily found as Britain is so rich in ancient sites of different types from different periods. Publications The Hand of Man.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsen%20rank
In mathematics, the Tsen rank of a field describes conditions under which a system of polynomial equations must have a solution in the field. The concept is named for C. C. Tsen, who introduced their study in 1936. We consider a system of m polynomial equations in n variables over a field F. Assume that the equations all have constant term zero, so that (0, 0, ... ,0) is a common solution. We say that F is a Ti-field if every such system, of degrees d1, ..., dm has a common non-zero solution whenever The Tsen rank of F is the smallest i such that F is a Ti-field. We say that the Tsen rank of F is infinite if it is not a Ti-field for any i (for example, if it is formally real). Properties A field has Tsen rank zero if and only if it is algebraically closed. A finite field has Tsen rank 1: this is the Chevalley–Warning theorem. If F is algebraically closed then rational function field F(X) has Tsen rank 1. If F has Tsen rank i, then the rational function field F(X) has Tsen rank at most i + 1. If F has Tsen rank i, then an algebraic extension of F has Tsen rank at most i. If F has Tsen rank i, then an extension of F of transcendence degree k has Tsen rank at most i + k. There exist fields of Tsen rank i for every integer i ≥ 0. Norm form We define a norm form of level i on a field F to be a homogeneous polynomial of degree d in n=di variables with only the trivial zero over F (we exclude the case n=d=1). The existence of a norm form on level i on F implies that F is of Tsen rank at least i − 1. If E is an extension of F of finite degree n > 1, then the field norm form for E/F is a norm form of level 1. If F admits a norm form of level i then the rational function field F(X) admits a norm form of level i + 1. This allows us to demonstrate the existence of fields of any given Tsen rank. Diophantine dimension The Diophantine dimension of a field is the smallest natural number k, if it exists, such that the field of is class Ck: that is, such that any homogeneous polynomial of degree d in N variables has a non-trivial zero whenever N >  dk. Algebraically closed fields are of Diophantine dimension 0; quasi-algebraically closed fields of dimension 1. Clearly if a field is Ti then it is Ci, and T0 and C0 are equivalent, each being equivalent to being algebraically closed. It is not known whether Tsen rank and Diophantine dimension are equal in general. See also Tsen's theorem References Field (mathematics) Diophantine geometry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion%20in%20Ghana
Irreligion in Ghana is difficult to measure in the country, as regular demographic polling is not widespread and available statistics are often many years old. Most Ghanaian nationals claim the Christian (71%) or Muslim (18%) faiths. Many atheists in Ghana are not willing to openly express their beliefs due to the fear of persecution. Most secondary educational institutions also have some form of religious affiliation. This is evident in the names of schools like Presbyterian Boys School, Holy Child School and many others. Atheists form a very small minority in Ghana. In the Ghana census taken in 2010, Christians make up 71.2% of the population, Islam 17.6%, Irreligion 5.3%, Traditional religion 5.2%. Other faiths include Hinduism, Buddhism and Nichiren Buddhism, Taoism, Sōka Gakkai, Shinto and Judaism. Contrary to the generally accepted view that all Ghanaians profess one religion or the other, there is a small group of outspoken atheists, freethinkers and skeptics who form the Humanist Association of Ghana. The group organized a Humanist conference in November, 2012 which brought together Humanists from around the world to discuss issues relevant to the advancement of Humanism in Ghana. A second International Humanist conference was hosted by the same organization in December 2014. It featured discussions on additional topics relevant to Humanism such as feminism, witchcraft accusations in West Africa and Humanist ceremonies. The organization currently has about fifty members and attracts limited media coverage. Work is still in progress to officially register the association and make it more broadly known in civic society. Humanism is not well known in Ghana and this, coupled with high levels of religious belief in Ghana makes it difficult for nonbelievers to share their opinions freely without fear of stigma. There have been a few debates conducted by humanists in the country regarding what should be considered core humanist principles and what should be shifted to the broad spectrum of secularity. Openly professing atheism or antireligious beliefs can lead to public outrage, such as when the popular hiplife artist Mzbel stated that Jesus was a fake.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manin%20matrix
In mathematics, Manin matrices, named after Yuri Manin who introduced them around 1987–88, are a class of matrices with elements in a not-necessarily commutative ring, which in a certain sense behave like matrices whose elements commute. In particular there is natural definition of the determinant for them and most linear algebra theorems like Cramer's rule, Cayley–Hamilton theorem, etc. hold true for them. Any matrix with commuting elements is a Manin matrix. These matrices have applications in representation theory in particular to Capelli's identity, Yangian and quantum integrable systems. Manin matrices are particular examples of Manin's general construction of "non-commutative symmetries" which can be applied to any algebra. From this point of view they are "non-commutative endomorphisms" of polynomial algebra C[x1, ...xn]. Taking (q)-(super)-commuting variables one will get (q)-(super)-analogs of Manin matrices, which are closely related to quantum groups. Manin works were influenced by the quantum group theory. He discovered that quantized algebra of functions Funq(GL) can be defined by the requirement that T and Tt are simultaneously q-Manin matrices. In that sense it should be stressed that (q)-Manin matrices are defined only by half of the relations of related quantum group Funq(GL), and these relations are enough for many linear algebra theorems. Definition Context Matrices with generic noncommutative elements do not admit a natural construction of the determinant with values in a ground ring and basic theorems of the linear algebra fail to hold true. There are several modifications of the determinant theory: Dieudonné determinant which takes values in the abelianization K*/[K*, K*] of the multiplicative group K* of ground ring K; and theory of quasideterminants. But the analogy between these determinants and commutative determinants is not complete. On the other hand, if one considers certain specific classes of matrices with non-commutative elements, then there are examples where one can define the determinant and prove linear algebra theorems which are very similar to their commutative analogs. Examples include: quantum groups and q-determinant; Capelli matrix and Capelli determinant; super-matrices and Berezinian. Manin matrices is a general and natural class of matrices with not-necessarily commutative elements which admit natural definition of the determinant and generalizations of the linear algebra theorems. Formal definition An n by m matrix M with entries Mij over a ring R (not necessarily commutative) is a Manin matrix if all elements in a given column commute and if for all i,j,k,l it holds that [Mij,Mkl] = [Mkj,Mil]. Here [a,b] denotes (ab − ba) the commutator of a and b. The definition can be better seen from the following formulas. A rectangular matrix M is called a Manin matrix if for any 2×2 submatrix, consisting of rows i and k, and columns j and l: the following commutation relations hold Ubiquity of 2 × 2 M
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let%20expression
In computer science, a "let" expression associates a function definition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may also be defined in mathematics, where it associates a Boolean condition with a restricted scope. The "let" expression may be considered as a lambda abstraction applied to a value. Within mathematics, a let expression may also be considered as a conjunction of expressions, within an existential quantifier which restricts the scope of the variable. The let expression is present in many functional languages to allow the local definition of expression, for use in defining another expression. The let-expression is present in some functional languages in two forms; let or "let rec". Let rec is an extension of the simple let expression which uses the fixed-point combinator to implement recursion. History Dana Scott's LCF language was a stage in the evolution of lambda calculus into modern functional languages. This language introduced the let expression, which has appeared in most functional languages since that time. The languages Scheme, ML, and more recently Haskell have inherited let expressions from LCF. Stateful imperative languages such as ALGOL and Pascal essentially implement a let expression, to implement restricted scope of functions, in block structures. A closely related "where" clause, together with its recursive variant "where rec", appeared already in Peter Landin's The mechanical evaluation of expressions. Description A "let" expression defines a function or value for use in another expression. As well as being a construct used in many functional programming languages, it is a natural language construct often used in mathematical texts. It is an alternate syntactical construct for a where clause. In both cases the whole construct is an expression whose value is 5. Like the if-then-else the type returned by the expression is not necessarily Boolean. A let expression comes in 4 main forms, In functional languages the let expression defines functions which may be called in the expression. The scope of the function name is limited to the let expression structure. In mathematics, the let expression defines a condition, which is a constraint on the expression. The syntax may also support the declaration of existentially quantified variables local to the let expression. The terminology, syntax and semantics vary from language to language. In Scheme, let is used for the simple form and let rec for the recursive form. In ML let marks only the start of a block of declarations with fun marking the start of the function definition. In Haskell, let may be mutually recursive, with the compiler figuring out what is needed. Definition A lambda abstraction represents a function without a name. This is a source of the inconsistency in the definition of a lambda abstraction. However lambda abstractions may be composed to represent a function with a name. In this form the inconsistency is removed. The

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical%20manifold
In mathematics, a statistical manifold is a Riemannian manifold, each of whose points is a probability distribution. Statistical manifolds provide a setting for the field of information geometry. The Fisher information metric provides a metric on these manifolds. Following this definition, the log-likelihood function is a differentiable map and the score is an inclusion. Examples The family of all normal distributions can be thought of as a 2-dimensional parametric space parametrized by the expected value μ and the variance σ2 ≥ 0. Equipped with the Riemannian metric given by the Fisher information matrix, it is a statistical manifold with a geometry modeled on hyperbolic space. A way of picturing the manifold is done by inferring the parametric equations via the Fisher Information rather than starting from the likelihood-function. A simple example of a statistical manifold, taken from physics, would be the canonical ensemble: it is a one-dimensional manifold, with the temperature T serving as the coordinate on the manifold. For any fixed temperature T, one has a probability space: so, for a gas of atoms, it would be the probability distribution of the velocities of the atoms. As one varies the temperature T, the probability distribution varies. Another simple example, taken from medicine, would be the probability distribution of patient outcomes, in response to the quantity of medicine administered. That is, for a fixed dose, some patients improve, and some do not: this is the base probability space. If the dosage is varied, then the probability of outcomes changes. Thus, the dosage is the coordinate on the manifold. To be a smooth manifold, one would have to measure outcomes in response to arbitrarily small changes in dosage; this is not a practically realizable example, unless one has a pre-existing mathematical model of dose-response where the dose can be arbitrarily varied. Definition Let X be an orientable manifold, and let be a measure on X. Equivalently, let be a probability space on , with sigma algebra and probability . The statistical manifold S(X) of X is defined as the space of all measures on X (with the sigma-algebra held fixed). Note that this space is infinite-dimensional; it is commonly taken to be a Fréchet space. The points of S(X) are measures. Rather than dealing with an infinite-dimensional space S(X), it is common to work with a finite-dimensional submanifold, defined by considering a set of probability distributions parameterized by some smooth, continuously-varying parameter . That is, one considers only those measures that are selected by the parameter. If the parameter is n-dimensional, then, in general, the submanifold will be as well. All finite-dimensional statistical manifolds can be understood in this way. See also Chentsov's theorem References Manifolds Information theory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anneli%20Cahn%20Lax
Anneli Cahn Lax (23 February 1922, Katowice – 24 September 1999, New York City) was an American mathematician, who was known for being an editor of the Mathematics Association of America's New Mathematical Library Series, and for her work in reforming mathematics education with the inclusion of language skills. Anneli Lax received a bachelor's degree in 1942 from Adelphi University and her doctorate in 1956. She was a professor of mathematics at New York University's Courant Institute. She was married to the mathematician Peter Lax. Life Career In 1942, she earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics at Adelphi University in Long Island. In 1956, she earned a PhD from New York University with the dissertation Cauchy's Problem for a Partial Differential Equation with Real Multiple Characteristics with thesis adviser Richard Courant. She became a mathematics professor at NYU and was the editor of the Mathematics Association of America's New Mathematical Library Series. In 1961, the series started, with 36 published volumes by 1995. It was planned, by Professor Lax and others, to make mathematics accessible to the average reader while still being technically accurate. The first two books were, Numbers: Rational and Irrational by Ivan Niven and What Is Calculus About? by W. W. Sawyer. In 1977, she won the George Pólya Award for her article: Linear Algebra, A Potent Tool, Vol. 7 (1976), 3–15. In 1980, the mathematics department of New York University assigned Lax to design a remedial course in mathematics for freshmen. The course she devised and called "Mathematical Thinking" presented mathematics not as a body of facts but as a set of problems to be analyzed and resolved. "There is a misconception among people and schoolchildren about the nature of mathematics," she said, in a 1979 interview. "They consider it a matter of rules and regulations instead of thinking." The pressure, she said, was for pupils to come up with the right answer quickly, without time to analyze. She teamed up with John Devine, working with teachers in inner-city New York schools. Together they got funding from the Ford Foundation to train teachers from these schools in the methods Lax had pioneered at New York University. Though she was involved with reforming mathematics education for high school and college students in New York, she didn't like panel discussions at conferences. Especially when she was meant to reply immediately to preceding remarks by fellow panelists. Anneli said she was a slow listener and reader. She believed her responses were “not ready for public consumption when my turn comes.” An insert from her writing at the Mathematics as a Humanistic Discipline Session stated: “I am convinced that the use of language- reading, writing, listening and speaking is essential part of learning anything, and especially mathematics.” Anneli knew from her experience as teacher, that students learn new material easily when they are able to connect to their past
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion%20in%20Finland
Irreligion in Finland: according to Statistics Finland in 2020, 29.4% of the population in Finland were non-religious, or about 1,628,000 people. The Union of Freethinkers of Finland and other organisations have acted as interest organisations, legal protection organisations and cultural organisations for non-religious people. In a 2018 international ISSP survey, 40% of the Finnish population said they did not believe in God, 34% said they believed in God and 26% did not know. Nearly one out of every five people in the country is not a member of a religious organisation, and the number of people with no religious affiliation has doubled in two decades. History In Finland, the Enlightenment mainly influenced the educated classes. In the late 19th century, Darwinism came to Finland. The secularist philosophy of materialism was represented solely by Wilhelm Bolin, a friend of Ludwig Feuerbach, who worked as a librarian at the University of Helsinki, and who had a doctorate in Spinoza's philosophy. Bolin was one of the pioneers of cremation in Finland. Naturalistic evolutionary theory inspired, among others, Hjalmar Neiglick and Edvard Westermarck in Finland as early as the 1880s. In 1887, Viktor Heikel and 50 other citizens attempted to found the Finnish Association for Religious Freedom and Tolerance (, ). The Senate sent the association's statutes to the Lutheran Church's chapter for approval, which rejected the proposal. In 1889, the newspaper , edited by Eero Erkko, published a series of articles on evolution. It led to a heated debate, involving Juhani Aho and Minna Canth, among others. The same year, Canth and A.B. Mäkelä began publication of the magazine ('Free Ideas') in Kuopio, which presented development theory. The magazine was discontinued because censors removed a number of the articles in the magazine. At the turn of the 20th century, the labor movement was headed by several critics of religion. The labour movement in Finland adopted the program of Marxist atheism as a challenge to the State Church. The 1903 Forssa Program of the Finnish Social Democratic Party stated: The magazine Euterpe, published between 1902 and 1905, was written by Rolf Lagerborg, Gunnar Castrén and Georg Schauman, among others. From 1909 to 1917, S.E. Kristiansson published . A.B. Sarlin wrote a series of books critical of religion under the pseudonym Asa Jalas. In 1905, the Prometheus Society, a student society, was founded at the University of Helsinki with the aim of promoting freedom of thought. The association (1905–1914) included Edvard Westermarck, Rafael Karsten, Rolf Lagerborg, Knut Tallqvist, Wilhelm Bolin, Yrjö Hirn, Georg Schauman, Hjalmar Magnus Eklund, Harry Federley, Alma Söderhjelm, Gunnar Castrén, K.H. Wiik, Viktor Heikel and Ernst Lampén. The association demanded the abolition of confessional religious education in schools and the acceptance of civil marriage. Westermarck was also a member of the English Freethinkers' Association. The ten
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20definite%20integrals
In mathematics, the definite integral is the area of the region in the xy-plane bounded by the graph of f, the x-axis, and the lines x = a and x = b, such that area above the x-axis adds to the total, and that below the x-axis subtracts from the total. The fundamental theorem of calculus establishes the relationship between indefinite and definite integrals and introduces a technique for evaluating definite integrals. If the interval is infinite the definite integral is called an improper integral and defined by using appropriate limiting procedures. for example: A constant, such pi, that may be defined by the integral of an algebraic function over an algebraic domain is known as a period. The following is a list of some of the most common or interesting definite integrals. For a list of indefinite integrals see List of indefinite integrals. Definite integrals involving rational or irrational expressions Definite integrals involving trigonometric functions (see Dirichlet integral) Definite integrals involving exponential functions (see also Gamma function) (the Gaussian integral) (where !! is the double factorial) (where is Euler–Mascheroni constant) Definite integrals involving logarithmic functions Definite integrals involving hyperbolic functions Frullani integrals holds if the integral exists and is continuous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasse%20invariant%20of%20an%20algebra
In mathematics, the Hasse invariant of an algebra is an invariant attached to a Brauer class of algebras over a field. The concept is named after Helmut Hasse. The invariant plays a role in local class field theory. Local fields Let K be a local field with valuation v and D a K-algebra. We may assume D is a division algebra with centre K of degree n. The valuation v can be extended to D, for example by extending it compatibly to each commutative subfield of D: the value group of this valuation is (1/n)Z. There is a commutative subfield L of D which is unramified over K, and D splits over L. The field L is not unique but all such extensions are conjugate by the Skolem–Noether theorem, which further shows that any automorphism of L is induced by a conjugation in D. Take γ in D such that conjugation by γ induces the Frobenius automorphism of L/K and let v(γ) = k/n. Then k/n modulo 1 is the Hasse invariant of D. It depends only on the Brauer class of D. The Hasse invariant is thus a map defined on the Brauer group of a local field K to the divisible group Q/Z. Every class in the Brauer group is represented by a class in the Brauer group of an unramified extension of L/K of degree n, which by the Grunwald–Wang theorem and the Albert–Brauer–Hasse–Noether theorem we may take to be a cyclic algebra (L,φ,πk) for some k mod n, where φ is the Frobenius map and π is a uniformiser. The invariant map attaches the element k/n mod 1 to the class. This exhibits the invariant map as a homomorphism The invariant map extends to Br(K) by representing each class by some element of Br(L/K) as above. For a non-Archimedean local field, the invariant map is a group isomorphism. In the case of the field R of real numbers, there are two Brauer classes, represented by the algebra R itself and the quaternion algebra H. It is convenient to assign invariant zero to the class of R and invariant 1/2 modulo 1 to the quaternion class. In the case of the field C of complex numbers, the only Brauer class is the trivial one, with invariant zero. Global fields For a global field K, given a central simple algebra D over K then for each valuation v of K we can consider the extension of scalars Dv = D ⊗ Kv The extension Dv splits for all but finitely many v, so that the local invariant of Dv is almost always zero. The Brauer group Br(K) fits into an exact sequence where S is the set of all valuations of K and the right arrow is the sum of the local invariants. The injectivity of the left arrow is the content of the Albert–Brauer–Hasse–Noether theorem. Exactness in the middle term is a deep fact from global class field theory.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web%20Coverage%20Processing%20Service
The Web Coverage Processing Service (WCPS) defines a language for filtering and processing of multi-dimensional raster coverages, such as sensor, simulation, image, and statistics data. The Web Coverage Processing Service is maintained by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC). This raster query language allows clients to obtain original coverage data, or derived information, in a platform-neutral manner over the Web. Overview WCPS allows to generate pictures suitable for displaying to humans and information concise enough for further consumption by programs. In particular, the formally defined syntax and semantics make WCPS amenable to program-generated queries and automatic service chaining. As the WCPS language is not tied to any particular transmission protocol, the query paradigm can be embedded into any service framework, such as OGC Web Coverage Service (WCS) and OGC Web Processing Service (WPS). The current WCPS version is 1.0. The standards document, available from the OGC WCPS standards page, presents a condensed definition of syntax and semantics. In addition, there is an introduction to the concepts along with design rationales. Currently, WCPS is constrained to multi-dimensional raster data, but an activity is under work in OGC to extend it to all coverage types, i.e., digital geospatial information representing space-varying phenomena as defined in OGC Abstract Specification Topic 6: Schema for Coverage Geometry and Functions (which is identical to ISO 19123) and refined to a concrete, interoperable model in the OGC GML 3.2.1 Application Schema - Coverages (GMLCOV) Standard. WCPS language in a nutshell WCPS establishes a protocol to send a query string to a server and obtain, as a result of the server's processing, a set of coverages. The query string can be expressed in either Abstract Syntax or XML. In the following examples, Abstract Syntax will be used as it is more apt for human consumption. The WCPS syntax tentatively has been crafted close to the XQuery language – as metadata more and more are established in XML, and OGC heavily relies on XML (such as Geography Markup Language), it is anticipated that eventually a combination of XQuery and WCPS will be established. This will unify data and metadata retrieval. The following example may serve to illustrate these principles. Task is to inspect three coverages M1, M2, and M3; for each one, deliver the pixelwise difference of red and near-infrared (nir) channel; return the result encoded in HDF5: for $c in ( M1, M2, M3 ) return encode( abs( $c.red - $c.nir ), "hdf5" ) This will return three coverages, that is: three HDF5 files. Next, we are interested only in those coverages where nir exceeds 127 somewhere: for $c in ( M1, M2, M3 ) where some( $c.nir > 127 ) return encode( abs( $c.red - $c.nir ), "hdf5" ) The result might be only two coverages that pass the filter. Finally, we want to constrain the filter predicate through a pixel mask acting as filter: for $

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor%20system
In mathematics, a factor system (sometimes called factor set) is a fundamental tool of Otto Schreier’s classical theory for group extension problem. It consists of a set of automorphisms and a binary function on a group satisfying certain condition (so-called cocycle condition). In fact, a factor system constitutes a realisation of the cocycles in the second cohomology group in group cohomology. Introduction Suppose is a group and is an abelian group. For a group extension there exists a factor system which consists of a function and homomorphism such that it makes the cartesian product a group as So must be a "group 2-cocycle" (and thus define an element in H(G, A), as studied in group cohomology). In fact, does not have to be abelian, but the situation is more complicated for non-abelian groups If is trivial, then splits over , so that is the semidirect product of with . If a group algebra is given, then a factor system f modifies that algebra to a skew-group algebra by modifying the group operation to . Application: for Abelian field extensions Let G be a group and L a field on which G acts as automorphisms. A cocycle or (Noether) factor system is a map c: G × G → L* satisfying Cocycles are equivalent if there exists some system of elements a : G → L* with Cocycles of the form are called split. Cocycles under multiplication modulo split cocycles form a group, the second cohomology group H2(G,L*). Crossed product algebras Let us take the case that G is the Galois group of a field extension L/K. A factor system c in H2(G,L*) gives rise to a crossed product algebra A, which is a K-algebra containing L as a subfield, generated by the elements λ in L and ug with multiplication Equivalent factor systems correspond to a change of basis in A over K. We may write The crossed product algebra A is a central simple algebra (CSA) of degree equal to [L : K]. The converse holds: every central simple algebra over K that splits over L and such that deg A = [L : K] arises in this way. The tensor product of algebras corresponds to multiplication of the corresponding elements in H2. We thus obtain an identification of the Brauer group, where the elements are classes of CSAs over K, with H2. Cyclic algebra Let us further restrict to the case that L/K is cyclic with Galois group G of order n generated by t. Let A be a crossed product (L,G,c) with factor set c. Let u = ut be the generator in A corresponding to t. We can define the other generators and then we have un = a in K. This element a specifies a cocycle c by It thus makes sense to denote A simply by (L,t,a). However a is not uniquely specified by A since we can multiply u by any element λ of L* and then a is multiplied by the product of the conjugates of λ. Hence A corresponds to an element of the norm residue group K*/NL/KL*. We obtain the isomorphisms References Cohomology theories Group theory
