The doublestruck letter R denotes the field of real numbers.

The root lattice of a semisimple Lie algebra is the discrete lattice generated by the Lie algebra roots in h^*, the dual vector space to the Cartan subalgebra.

A negative number multiplied by another negative number gives a positive number.

For K a given knot in S^3, choose a Seifert surface M^2 in S^3 for K and a bicollar M^^×[-1,1] in S^3-K. If x in H_1(M^^) is represented by a 1-cycle in M^^, let x^+ denote ...

There exist infinitely many n>0 with p_n^2>p_(n-i)p_(n+i) for all i<n, where p_n is the nth prime. Also, there exist infinitely many n>0 such that 2p_n<p_(n-i)+p_(n+i) for ...

An graph edge of a graph is separating if a path from a point A to a point B must pass over it. Separating graph edges can therefore be viewed as either bridges or dead ends.

The definition of a set by enumerating its members. An extensional definition can always be reduced to an intentional one. An extension field is sometimes also called simply ...

The name for the set of integers modulo m, denoted Z/mZ. If m is a prime p, then the modulus is a finite field F_p=Z/pZ.

A relationship between knot polynomials for links in different orientations (denoted below as L_+, L_0, and L_-). J. H. Conway was the first to realize that the Alexander ...

The geometry of the Lie group R semidirect product with R^2, where R acts on R^2 by (t,(x,y))->(e^tx,e^(-t)y).
