Bracket Ring
In mathematics invariant theory, the bracket ring is the subring of the ring of polynomials ''k'' 'x''11,...,''x''''dn''generated by the ''d''-by-''d'' minors of a generic ''d''-by-''n'' matrix (''x''''ij''). The bracket ring may be regarded as the ring of polynomials on the image of a Grassmannian under the Plücker embedding. For given ''d'' ≤ ''n'' we define as formal variables the ''brackets'' �1 λ2 ... λ''d''with the λ taken from , subject to �1 λ2 ... λ''d''= − �2 λ1 ... λ''d''and similarly for other transpositions. The set Λ(''n'',''d'') of size \binom generates a polynomial ring ''K'' �(''n'',''d'')over a field ''K''. There is a homomorphism Φ(''n'',''d'') from ''K'' �(''n'',''d'')to the polynomial ring ''K'' 'x''''i'',''j''in ''nd'' indeterminates given by mapping �1 λ2 ... λ''d''to the determinant of the ''d'' by ''d'' matrix consisting of the columns of the ''x''''i'',''j'' indexed by the λ.

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Set (mathematics)
In mathematics, a set is a collection of different things; the things are '' elements'' or ''members'' of the set and are typically mathematical objects: numbers, symbols, points in space, lines, other geometric shapes, variables, or other sets. A set may be finite or infinite. There is a unique set with no elements, called the empty set; a set with a single element is a singleton. Sets are ubiquitous in modern mathematics. Indeed, set theory, more specifically Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory, has been the standard way to provide rigorous foundations for all branches of mathematics since the first half of the 20th century. Context Before the end of the 19th century, sets were not studied specifically, and were not clearly distinguished from sequences. Most mathematicians considered infinity as potentialmeaning that it is the result of an endless processand were reluctant to consider infinite sets, that is sets whose number of members is not a natural number.

Advances In Mathematics
''Advances in Mathematics'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on pure mathematics. It was established in 1961 by Gian-Carlo Rota. The journal publishes 18 issues each year, in three volumes. At the origin, the journal aimed at publishing articles addressed to a broader "mathematical community", and not only to mathematicians in the author's field. Herbert Busemann writes, in the preface of the first issue, "The need for expository articles addressing either all mathematicians or only those in somewhat related fields has long been felt, but little has been done outside of the USSR. The serial publication ''Advances in Mathematics'' was created in response to this demand."

Bracket Algebra
In mathematics, a bracket algebra is an algebraic system that connects the notion of a supersymmetry algebra with a symbolic representation of projective invariants. Given that ''L'' is a proper signed alphabet and Super 'L''is the supersymmetric algebra, the bracket algebra Bracket 'L''of dimension ''n'' over the field ''K'' is the quotient of the algebra Brace obtained by imposing the congruence relations below, where ''w'', ''w, ..., ''w''" are any monomials in Super 'L'' # = 0 if length(''w'') ≠ ''n'' # ... = 0 whenever any positive letter ''a'' of ''L'' occurs more than ''n'' times in the monomial .... # Let ... be a monomial in Brace in which some positive letter ''a'' occurs more than ''n'' times, and let ''b'', ''c'', ''d'', ''e'', ..., ''f'', ''g'' be any letters in ''L''.

Linear Subspace
In mathematics, the term ''linear'' is used in two distinct senses for two different properties: * linearity of a ''function (mathematics), function'' (or ''mapping (mathematics), mapping''); * linearity of a ''polynomial''. An example of a linear function is the function defined by f(x)=(ax,bx) that maps the real line to a line in the Euclidean plane R2 that passes through the origin. An example of a linear polynomial in the variables X, Y and Z is aX+bY+cZ+d. Linearity of a mapping is closely related to ''Proportionality (mathematics), proportionality''. Examples in physics include the linear relationship of voltage and Electric current, current in an electrical conductor (Ohm's law), and the relationship of mass and weight. By contrast, more complicated relationships, such as between velocity and kinetic energy, are ''Nonlinear system, nonlinear''. Generalized for functions in more than one dimension (mathematics), dimension, linearity means the property of a function of b ...

Ideal (ring Theory)
In mathematics, and more specifically in ring theory, an ideal of a ring is a special subset of its elements. Ideals generalize certain subsets of the integers, such as the even numbers or the multiples of 3. Addition and subtraction of even numbers preserves evenness, and multiplying an even number by any integer (even or odd) results in an even number; these closure and absorption properties are the defining properties of an ideal. An ideal can be used to construct a quotient ring in a way similar to how, in group theory, a normal subgroup can be used to construct a quotient group. Among the integers, the ideals correspond one-for-one with the non-negative integers: in this ring, every ideal is a principal ideal consisting of the multiples of a single non-negative number. However, in other rings, the ideals may not correspond directly to the ring elements, and certain properties of integers, when generalized to rings, attach more naturally to the ideals than to the elem ...

Kernel (algebra)
In algebra, the kernel of a homomorphism is the relation describing how elements in the domain of the homomorphism become related in the image. A homomorphism is a function that preserves the underlying algebraic structure in the domain to its image. When the algebraic structures involved have an underlying group structure, the kernel is taken to be the preimage of the group's identity element in the image, that is, it consists of the elements of the domain mapping to the image's identity. For example, the map that sends every integer to its parity (that is, 0 if the number is even, 1 if the number is odd) would be a homomorphism to the integers modulo 2, and its respective kernel would be the even integers which all have 0 as its parity. The kernel of a homomorphism of group-like structures will only contain the identity if and only if the homomorphism is injective, that is if the inverse image of every element consists of a single element. This means that the kernel can ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Determinant
In mathematics, the determinant is a Scalar (mathematics), scalar-valued function (mathematics), function of the entries of a square matrix. The determinant of a matrix is commonly denoted , , or . Its value characterizes some properties of the matrix and the linear map represented, on a given basis (linear algebra), basis, by the matrix. In particular, the determinant is nonzero if and only if the matrix is invertible matrix, invertible and the corresponding linear map is an linear isomorphism, isomorphism. However, if the determinant is zero, the matrix is referred to as singular, meaning it does not have an inverse. The determinant is completely determined by the two following properties: the determinant of a product of matrices is the product of their determinants, and the determinant of a triangular matrix is the product of its diagonal entries. The determinant of a matrix is :\begin a & b\\c & d \end=ad-bc, and the determinant of a matrix is : \begin a & b & c \\ d & e ...

Ring Homomorphism
In mathematics, a ring homomorphism is a structure-preserving function between two rings. More explicitly, if ''R'' and ''S'' are rings, then a ring homomorphism is a function that preserves addition, multiplication and multiplicative identity; that is, : \begin f(a+b)&= f(a) + f(b),\\ f(ab) &= f(a)f(b), \\ f(1_R) &= 1_S, \end for all ''a'', ''b'' in ''R''. These conditions imply that additive inverses and the additive identity are also preserved. If, in addition, is a bijection, then its inverse −1 is also a ring homomorphism. In this case, is called a ring isomorphism, and the rings ''R'' and ''S'' are called ''isomorphic''. From the standpoint of ring theory, isomorphic rings have exactly the same properties. If ''R'' and ''S'' are s, then the corresponding notion is that of a homomorphism, defined as above except without the third condition ''f''(1''R'') = 1''S''. A homomorphism between (unital) rings need not be a ring homomorphism. The composition of two rin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Field (mathematics)
In mathematics, a field is a set (mathematics), set on which addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (mathematics), division are defined and behave as the corresponding operations on rational number, rational and real numbers. A field is thus a fundamental algebraic structure which is widely used in algebra, number theory, and many other areas of mathematics. The best known fields are the field of rational numbers, the field of real numbers and the field of complex numbers. Many other fields, such as field of rational functions, fields of rational functions, algebraic function fields, algebraic number fields, and p-adic number, ''p''-adic fields are commonly used and studied in mathematics, particularly in number theory and algebraic geometry. Most cryptographic protocols rely on finite fields, i.e., fields with finitely many element (set), elements. The theory of fields proves that angle trisection and squaring the circle cannot be done with a compass and straighte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
