Given a differential p-form q in the exterior algebra ^ ^pV^*, its envelope is the smallest subspace W such that q is in the subspace ^ ^pW^* subset ^ ^pV^*. Alternatively, W ...

Define the zeta function of a variety over a number field by taking the product over all prime ideals of the zeta functions of this variety reduced modulo the primes. Hasse ...

A function for which the integral can be computed is said to be integrable.

A ring for which the product of any pair of ideals is zero only if one of the two ideals is zero. All simple rings are prime.

An algebra with no nontrivial nilpotent ideals. In the 1890s, Cartan, Frobenius, and Molien independently proved that any finite-dimensional semisimple algebra over the real ...

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.

Let P(L) be the set of all prime ideals of L, and define r(a)={P|a not in P}. Then the Stone space of L is the topological space defined on P(L) by postulating that the sets ...

The singleton set {0}, with respect to the trivial group structure defined by the addition 0+0=0. The element 0 is the additive identity element of the group, and also the ...

Two curves which, at any point, have a common principal normal vector are called Bertrand curves. The product of the torsions of Bertrand curves is a constant.

A branch cut is a curve (with ends possibly open, closed, or half-open) in the complex plane across which an analytic multivalued function is discontinuous. For convenience, ...
