A Banach space X is called minimal if every infinite-dimensional subspace Y of X contains a subspace Z isomorphic to X. An example of a minimal Banach space is the Banach ...

Model completion is a term employed when existential closure is successful. The formation of the complex numbers, and the move from affine to projective geometry, are ...

If lim_(z->z_0)(f(z)-f(z_0))/(z-z_0) is the same for all paths in the complex plane, then f(z) is said to be monogenic at z_0. Monogenic therefore essentially means having a ...

The only linear associative algebra in which the coordinates are real numbers and products vanish only if one factor is zero are the field of real numbers, the field of ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra. An element a in A is called positive if a=a* and sp(a) subset= R^+, or equivalently if there exists an element b in A such that a=bb^*. For example, ...

A reducible fraction is a fraction p/q such that GCD(p,q)>1, i.e., p/q can be written in reduced form. A fraction that is not reducible is said to be irreducible. For ...

Let A be a C^*-algebra. An element a in A is called self-adjoint if a^*=a. For example, the real functions of the C^*-algebra of C([a,b]) of continuous complex-valued ...

A function possessing a single period in the complex plane is said to be singly periodic, of often simply periodic. Singly periodic functions include the trigonometric ...

The polyhedron compound of the icosahedron (U_(22)) and the great dodecahedron (U_(35)), sometimes known as the small cid. Four faces meet at each edge of the small complex ...

A polynomial p(x)=sumc_ix^i is said to split over a field K if p(x)=aproduct_(i)(x-alpha_i) where a and alpha_i are in K. Then the polynomial is said to split into linear ...
