"Poincaré transformation" is the name sometimes (e.g., Misner et al. 1973, p. 68) given to what other authors (e.g., Weinberg 1972, p. 26) term an inhomogeneous Lorentz ...

A pointed space is a topological space X together with a choice of a basepoint x in X. The notation for a pointed space is (X,x). Maps between two pointed spaces must take ...

rho_n(nu,x)=((1+nu-n)_n)/(sqrt(n!x^n))_1F_1(-n;1+nu-n;x), where (a)_n is a Pochhammer symbol and _1F_1(a;b;z) is a confluent hypergeometric function of the first kind.

There are two different definitions of the polar angle. In the plane, the polar angle theta is the counterclockwise angle from the x-axis at which a point in the xy-plane ...

Every bounded operator T acting on a Hilbert space H has a decomposition T=U|T|, where |T|=(T^*T)^(1/2) and U is a partial isometry. This decomposition is called polar ...

The homeomorphic image of a so-called "complete separable" metric space. The continuous image of a Polish space is called a Souslin set.

The polynomial giving the number of colorings with m colors of a structure defined by a permutation group.

Polycairos are polyforms obtained from the Cairo tessellation, illustrated above. The numbers of polycairos with n=1, 2, ... components are 1, 2, 5, 17, 55, 206, 781, 3099, ...

One of the symmetry groups of the Platonic solids. There are three polyhedral groups: the tetrahedral group of order 12, the octahedral group of order 24, and the icosahedral ...

A point at which three or more polyhedron edges of a polyhedron meet. The concept can also be generalized to a polytope.
