There are no fewer than two closely related but somewhat different notions of gerbe in mathematics. For a fixed topological space X, a gerbe on X can refer to a stack of ...

The polynomials G_n(x;a,b) given by the associated Sheffer sequence with f(t)=e^(at)(e^(bt)-1), (1) where b!=0. The inverse function (and therefore generating function) ...

A nonassociative algebra obeyed by objects such as the Lie bracket and Poisson bracket. Elements f, g, and h of a Lie algebra satisfy [f,f]=0 (1) [f+g,h]=[f,h]+[g,h], (2) and ...

A linear transformation between two vector spaces V and W is a map T:V->W such that the following hold: 1. T(v_1+v_2)=T(v_1)+T(v_2) for any vectors v_1 and v_2 in V, and 2. ...

Every smooth nonzero vector field on the 3-sphere has at least one closed orbit. The conjecture was proposed in 1950 and proved true for Hopf maps. The conjecture was ...

The term faltung is variously used to mean convolution and a function of bilinear forms. Let A and B be bilinear forms A = A(x,y)=sumsuma_(ij)x_iy_i (1) B = ...

The generalized Petersen graph GP(n,k), also denoted P(n,k) (Biggs 1993, p. 119; Pemmaraju and Skiena 2003, p. 215), for n>=3 and 1<=k<=|_(n-1)/2_| is a connected cubic graph ...

The Goh-Schmutz constant is defined by the integrals C = int_0^infty(ln(1+t))/(e^t-1)dt (1) = int_0^inftyln[1-ln(1-e^(-t))]dt (2) = ...

A linear transformation x_1^' = a_(11)x_1+a_(12)x_2+a_(13)x_3 (1) x_2^' = a_(21)x_1+a_(22)x_2+a_(23)x_3 (2) x_3^' = a_(31)x_1+a_(32)x_2+a_(33)x_3, (3) is said to be an ...

The pentagonal cupola is Johnson solid J_5. Its faces consist of 5 equilateral triangles, 5 squares, 1 pentagon, and one decagon. The surface area and volume of the ...
