The indices of a covariant tensor A_j can be raised, forming a contravariant tensor A^i, by multiplication by a so-called metric tensor g^(ij), e.g., g^(ij)A_j=A^i

The radius used in performing an inversion with respect to an inversion circle.

Given a general second tensor rank tensor A_(ij) and a metric g_(ij), define theta = A_(ij)g^(ij)=A_i^i (1) omega^i = epsilon^(ijk)A_(jk) (2) sigma_(ij) = ...

An algebraic variety is called irreducible if it cannot be written as the union of nonempty algebraic varieties. For example, the set of solutions to xy=0 is reducible ...

A parameterization is isothermal if, for zeta=u+iv and phi_k(zeta)=(partialx_k)/(partialu)-i(partialx_k)/(partialv), the identity phi_1^2(zeta)+phi_2^2(zeta)+phi_3^2(zeta)=0 ...

The Jacobian of a linear net of curves of order n is a curve of order 3(n-1). It passes through all points common to all curves of the net. It is the locus of points where ...

The Jacobian group of a one-dimensional linear series is given by intersections of the base curve with the Jacobian curve of itself and two curves cutting the series.

Using Clebsch-Aronhold notation, an algebraic curve satisfies xi_1^na_y^n+xi_1^(n-1)xi_2a_y^(n-1)a_x+1/2n(n-1)xi_1^(n-2)xi_2^2a_y^(n-2)a_x^2+... ...

A transformation of an algebraic curve which is of the same type as its inverse. A Jonquière's transformation is always factorable.

A geodesic triangle with oriented boundary yields a curve which is piecewise differentiable. Furthermore, the tangent vector varies continuously at all but the three corner ...
