A term in social choice theory meaning invariance of a result under permutation of voters.

An operator * for which a*b=-b*a is said to be anticommutative.

For operators A^~ and B^~, the anticommutator is defined by {A^~,B^~}=A^~B^~+B^~A^~.

Given ∠AXB+∠AYB=pi radians in the above figure, then X and Y are said to be antigonal points with respect to A and B.

If a map f:G->G^' from a group G to a group G^' satisfies f(ab)=f(b)f(a) for all a,b in G, then f is said to be an antihomomorphism.

The antilaplacian of u with respect to x is a function whose Laplacian with respect to x equals u. The antilaplacian is never unique.

The inverse function of the logarithm, defined such that log_b(antilog_bz)=z=antilog_b(log_bz). The antilogarithm in base b of z is therefore b^z.

A paradox or contradiction.

The map which takes points on the surface of a sphere S^2 to their antipodal points.

A quantity which changes sign when indices are reversed. For example, A_(ij)=a_i-a_j is antisymmetric since A_(ij)=-A_(ji).
