The commutator series of a Lie algebra g, sometimes called the derived series, is the sequence of subalgebras recursively defined by g^(k+1)=[g^k,g^k], (1) with g^0=g. The ...

A Steiner system S(t,k,v) is a set X of v points, and a collection of subsets of X of size k (called blocks), such that any t points of X are in exactly one of the blocks. ...

A square matrix A is said to be unipotent if A-I, where I is an identity matrix is a nilpotent matrix (defined by the property that A^n is the zero matrix for some positive ...

The five Mathieu groups M_(11), M_(12), M_(22), M_(23), and M_(24) were the first sporadic groups discovered, having been found in 1861 and 1873 by Mathieu. Frobenius showed ...

L is a subnormal subgroup of H if there is a "normal series" (in the sense of Jordan-Hölder) from L to H.

Two open manifolds M and M^' are cobordant if there exists a manifold with boundary W^(n+1) such that an acceptable restrictive relationship holds.

The geometry of Finsler space.

If the average number of envelopes per pigeonhole is a, then some pigeonhole will have at least a envelopes. Similarly, there must be a pigeonhole with at most a envelopes.

A polynomial function of the elements of a vector x can be uniquely decomposed into a sum of harmonic polynomials times powers of |x|.

S_n=sum_(i)eta_imu(E_i), where mu(E_i) is the measure of the set E_i of points on the x-axis for which f(x) approx eta_i.
