A semi-Riemannian manifold M=(M,g) is said to be Lorentzian if dim(M)>=2 and if the index I=I_g associated with the metric tensor g satisfies I=1. Alternatively, a smooth ...

The power A^n of a matrix A for n a nonnegative integer is defined as the matrix product of n copies of A, A^n=A...A_()_(n). A matrix to the zeroth power is defined to be the ...

The natural norm induced by the L-infty-norm is called the maximum absolute row sum norm and is defined by ||A||_infty=max_(i)sum_(j=1)^n|a_(ij)| for a matrix A. This matrix ...

The integral phi(t,u)=int(e^(piitx^2+2piiux))/(e^(2piix)-1)dx which is related to the Jacobi theta functions, mock theta functions, Riemann zeta function, and Siegel theta ...

A set which is connected but not simply connected is called multiply connected. A space is n-multiply connected if it is (n-1)-connected and if every map from the n-sphere ...

A group G is nilpotent if the upper central sequence 1=Z_0<=Z_1<=Z_2<=...<=Z_n<=... of the group terminates with Z_n=G for some n. Nilpotent groups have the property that ...

If A=>!B and B=>!A (i.e., (A=>!B) ^ (B=>!A), where !A denotes NOT, => denotes implies, and ^ denotes AND), then A and B are said to be inequivalent, a relationship which is ...

The sum of the first n odd numbers is a square number, sum_(k=1)^n(2k-1)=n^2. A sort of converse also exists, namely the difference of the nth and (n-1)st square numbers is ...

A tree is planted at each lattice point in a circular orchard which has center at the origin and radius r. If the radius of trees exceeds 1/r units, one is unable to see out ...

A topology defined on a totally ordered set X whose open sets are all the finite intersections of subsets of the form {x in X|x>a} or {x in X|x<a}, where a in X. The order ...
