A singular point of an algebraic curve is a point where the curve has "nasty" behavior such as a cusp or a point of self-intersection (when the underlying field K is taken as ...

Determined the possible values of r and n for which there is an identity of the form (x_1^2+...+x_r^2)(y_1^2+...+y_r^2)=z_1^2+...+z_n^2.

A Kähler structure on a complex manifold M combines a Riemannian metric on the underlying real manifold with the complex structure. Such a structure brings together geometry ...

Quantifier elimination is the removal of all quantifiers (the universal quantifier forall and existential quantifier exists ) from a quantified system. A first-order theory ...

(x^2+axy+by^2)(t^2+atu+bu^2)=r^2+ars+bs^2, (1) where r = xt-byu (2) s = yt+xu+ayu. (3)

A knot is called prime if, for any decomposition as a connected sum, one of the factors is unknotted (Livingston 1993, pp. 5 and 78). A knot which is not prime is called a ...

The bifolium is a folium with b=0. The bifolium is a quartic curve and is given by the implicit equation is (x^2+y^2)^2=4axy^2 (1) and the polar equation ...

The term "biquadratic equation" is sometimes used to as a synonym for quartic equation (Beyer 1987b, p. 34), but perhaps more commonly (e.g., Hazewinkel 1988; Gellert et al. ...

The variety which is an invariant of degree four and is given by the equation y_0^4-y_0(y_1^3+y_2^3+y_3^3+y_4^3)+3y_1y_2y_3y_4=0.
