The intersection phi(G) of all maximal subgroups of a given group G.

The free product G*H of groups G and H is the set of elements of the form g_1h_1g_2h_2...g_rh_r, where g_i in G and h_i in H, with g_1 and h_r possibly equal to e, the ...

A semigroup with a noncommutative product in which no product can ever be expressed more simply in terms of other elements.

An occurrence of a variable in a logic formula which is not inside the scope of a quantifier.

Two closed simply connected 4-manifolds are homeomorphic iff they have the same bilinear form beta and the same Kirby-Siebenmann invariant kappa. Any beta can be realized by ...

A group acts freely if there are no group fixed points. A point which is fixed by every group element would not be free to move.

Pick any point P on a conic section, and draw a series of right angles having this point as their vertices. Then the line segments connecting the rays of the right angles ...

Frequency representation is the notation (1^(a_1)2^(a_2)...) used to abbreviate a partition {1,...,1_()_(a_1),2,...,2_()_(a_2),...} (Andrews 1998, p. 1).

Frey's theorem states that every Abelian category is a subcategory of some category of modules over a ring. Mitchell (1964) has strengthened this, saying every Abelian ...

The permanent of an n×n integer matrix with all entries either 0 or 1 is 0 iff the matrix contains an r×s submatrix of 0s with r+s=n+1. This result follows from the ...
