A nonzero ring S whose only (two-sided) ideals are S itself and zero. Every commutative simple ring is a field. Every simple ring is a prime ring.

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has one zero eigenvector with negative eigenvalue lambda<0.

A tubular neighborhood of a submanifold N in M is an embedding of the normal bundle (nu_N) of N into M, i.e., f:nu_N->M, where the image of the zero section of the normal ...

Variables x_i and x_j are said to be uncorrelated if their covariance is zero: cov(x_i,x_j)=0. Independent statistics are always uncorrelated, but the converse is not ...

A fixed point for which the stability matrix has one zero eigenvector with positive eigenvalue lambda>0.

A homology class in a singular homology theory is represented by a finite linear combination of geometric subobjects with zero boundary. Such a linear combination is ...

A sequence {mu_n}_(n=0)^infty is positive definite if the moment of every nonnegative polynomial which is not identically zero is greater than zero (Widder 1941, p. 132). ...

A module having only one element: the singleton set {*}. It is a module over any ring R with respect to the multiplication defined by a*=* (1) for every a in R, and the ...

A quantity which does not equal zero is said to be nonzero. A real nonzero number must be either positive or negative, and a complex nonzero number can have either real or ...

Given an affine variety V in the n-dimensional affine space K^n, where K is an algebraically closed field, the coordinate ring of V is the quotient ring ...
