The Poincaré group is another name for the inhomogeneous Lorentz group (Weinberg 1972, p. 28) and corresponds to the group of inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations, also ...

A nonsimply connected 3-manifold, also called a dodecahedral space.

Let {y^k} be a set of orthonormal vectors with k=1, 2, ..., K, such that the inner product (y^k,y^k)=1. Then set x=sum_(k=1)^Ku_ky^k (1) so that for any square matrix A for ...

Poinsot's spirals are the two polar curves with equations r = acsch(ntheta) (1) r = asech(ntheta). (2)

The point-slope form of a line through the point (x_1,y_1) with slope m in the Cartesian plane is given by y-y_1=m(x-x_1).

Members of a coaxal system satisfy x^2+y^2+2lambdax+c=(x+lambda)^2+y^2+c-lambda^2=0 for values of lambda. Picking lambda^2=c then gives the two circles (x+/-sqrt(c))^2+y^2=0 ...

The point group C_1 is a group on a single element that is isomorphic to the trivial group. Its character table is given below. C_1 1 1 1

If (X,x) and (Y,y) are pointed spaces, a pointed map is a continuous map F:X->Y with the additional requirement that F(x)=y.

A pointed space is a topological space X together with a choice of a basepoint x in X. The notation for a pointed space is (X,x). Maps between two pointed spaces must take ...

Poisson's theorem gives the estimate (n!)/(k!(n-k)!)p^kq^(n-k)∼e^(-np)((np)^k)/(k!) for the probability of an event occurring k times in n trials with n>>1, p<<1, and np ...
