A lion and a man in a closed arena have equal maximum speeds. What tactics should the lion employ to be sure of his meal? This problem was stated by Rado in 1925 (Littlewood ...

A field which is complete with respect to a discrete valuation is called a local field if its field of residue classes is finite. The Hasse principle is one of the chief ...

Let L be a lattice (or a bounded lattice or a complemented lattice, etc.), and let C_L be the covering relation of L: C_L={(x,y) in L^2|x covers y or y covers x}. Then C_L is ...

The term "loop" has a number of meanings in mathematics. Most simply, a loop is a closed curve whose initial and final points coincide in a fixed point p known as the ...

The Lorentz group is the group L of time-preserving linear isometries of Minkowski space R^((3,1)) with the Minkowski metric dtau^2=-(dx^0)^2+(dx^1)^2+(dx^2)^2+(dx^3)^2 ...

A maximal ideal of a ring R is an ideal I, not equal to R, such that there are no ideals "in between" I and R. In other words, if J is an ideal which contains I as a subset, ...

The McLaughlin group is the sporadic group McL of order |McL| = 898128000 (1) = 2^7·3^6·5^3·7·11. (2) It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as McLaughlinGroupMcL[].

An inequality which implies the correctness of the Robertson conjecture (Milin 1964). de Branges (1985) proved this conjecture, which led to the proof of the full Bieberbach ...

The group Gamma of all Möbius transformations of the form tau^'=(atau+b)/(ctau+d), (1) where a, b, c, and d are integers with ad-bc=1. The group can be represented by the 2×2 ...

The equation x_1^2+x_2^2+...+x_n^2-2x_0x_infty=0 represents an n-dimensional hypersphere S^n as a quadratic hypersurface in an (n+1)-dimensional real projective space ...
