The unlink, also called the trivial link, of n components consist of n disjoint circles in a plane (Rolfsen 1976, p. 65).

A position in a game is unsafe for player A if the person who plays next (player B) can win. Every unsafe position can be made safe by at least one move.

The upper-trimmed subsequence of x={x_n} is the sequence lambda(x) obtained by dropping the first occurrence of n for each n. If x is a fractal sequence, then lambda(x)=x.

For every topological T1-space X, the following conditions are equivalent. 1. X is regular and second countable, 2. X is separable and metrizable. 3. X is homeomorphic to a ...

A "visual representation" number which is a sum of some simple function of its digits. For example, 1233 = 12^2+33^2 (1) 2661653 = 1653^2-266^2 (2) 221859 = 22^3+18^3+59^3 ...

Let (K,|·|) be a valuated field. The valuation group G is defined to be the set G={|x|:x in K,x!=0}, with the group operation being multiplication. It is a subgroup of the ...

Let (K,|·|) be a non-Archimedean field. Its valuation ring R is defined to be R={x in K:|x|<=1}. The valuation ring has maximal ideal M={x in K:|x|<1}, and the field R/M is ...

The study of valuations which simplifies class field theory and the theory of function fields.

Let p be an irregular prime, and let P=rp+1 be a prime with P<p^2-p. Also let t be an integer such that t^3≢1 (mod P). For an irregular pair (p,2k), form the product ...

A quantity which takes on the value zero is said to vanish identically, or sometimes simply to vanish. The term "vanish identically" is preferred when emphasis is needed that ...
