The components of the gradient of the one-form dA are denoted A_(,k), or sometimes partial_kA, and are given by A_(,k)=(partialA)/(partialx^k) (Misner et al. 1973, p. 62). ...

A tensor-like coefficient which gives the difference between partial derivatives of two coordinates with respect to the other coordinate, ...

Two elements x and y of a set S are said to be commutative under a binary operation * if they satisfy x*y=y*x. (1) Real numbers are commutative under addition x+y=y+x (2) and ...

If the parameters of a Lie group vary over a closed interval, them the Lie group is said to be compact. Every representation of a compact group is equivalent to a unitary ...

A topological space is compact if every open cover of X has a finite subcover. In other words, if X is the union of a family of open sets, there is a finite subfamily whose ...

Inside a ball B in R^3, {rectifiable currents S in BL area S<=c, length partialS<=c} is compact under the flat norm.

The comparability graph of a partially ordered set P=(X,<=) is the graph with vertex set X for which vertices x and y are adjacent iff either x<=y or y<=x in P.

Let suma_k and sumb_k be a series with positive terms and suppose a_1<=b_1, a_2<=b_2, .... 1. If the bigger series converges, then the smaller series also converges. 2. If ...

Let ||A|| be the matrix norm associated with the matrix A and |x| be the vector norm associated with a vector x. Let the product Ax be defined, then ||A|| and |x| are said to ...

Two angles alpha and beta are said to be complementary if alpha+beta=pi/2. In other words, alpha and beta are complementary angles if they produce a right angle when combined.
