A divisor, also called a factor, of a number n is a number d which divides n (written d|n). For integers, only positive divisors are usually considered, though obviously the ...

The surface with three cross-caps (Francis and Collins 1993, Francis and Weeks 1999).

Schubert's application of the conservation of number principle.

A closed ideal I in a C^*-algebra A is called essential if I has nonzero intersection with every other nonzero closed ideal A or, equivalently, if aI={0} implies a=0 for all ...

A representation phi of a group G is faithful if it is one-to-one, i.e., if phi(g)=phi(h) implies g=h for g,h in G. Equivalently, phi is faithful if phi(g)=I_n implies g=e, ...

The characteristic exponent of a field is 1 if the field characteristic is 0 and p if the field characteristic is p.

Define G(a,n)=1/aint_0^infty[1-e^(aEi(-t))sum_(k=0)^(n-1)((-a)^k[Ei(-t)]^k)/(k!)]. Then the Flajolet-Odlyzko constant is defined as G(1/2,1)=0.757823011268... (OEIS A143297).

If it is possible to transform a coordinate system to a form where the metric elements g_(munu) are constants independent of x^mu, then the space is flat.

For any real alpha and beta such that beta>alpha, let p(alpha)!=0 and p(beta)!=0 be real polynomials of degree n, and v(x) denote the number of sign changes in the sequence ...

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 ...
