Living People
Purpose: Because living persons may suffer personal harm from inappropriate information, we should watch their articles carefully. By adding an article to this category, it marks them with a notice about sources whenever someone tries to edit them, to remind them of WP:BLP (biographies of living persons) policy that these articles must maintain a neutral point of view, maintain factual accuracy, and be properly sourced. Recent changes to these articles are listed on Special:RecentChangesLinked/Living people. Organization: This category should not be sub-categorized. Entries are generally sorted by family name In many societies, a surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family. It is typically combined with a given name to form the full name of a person, although several give ....

Canadian Mathematical Society
The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS; French: ''Société mathématique du Canada'') is an association of professional mathematicians dedicated to advancing mathematical research, outreach, scholarship and education in Canada. The Society serves the national and international communities through the publication of high-quality academic journals and community bulletins, as well as by organizing a variety of mathematical competitions and enrichment programs. These include the Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge (COMC), the Canadian Mathematical Olympiad (CMO), and the selection and training of Canada's team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) and the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad (EGMO). The CMS was originally conceived in June 1945 as the Canadian Mathematical Congress. A name change was debated for many years; ultimately, a new name was adopted in 1979, upon the Society’s incorporation as a non-profit charitable organization. The Society is affi ...

Filtered Algebra
In mathematics, a filtered algebra is a generalization of the notion of a graded algebra. Examples appear in many branches of mathematics, especially in homological algebra and representation theory. A filtered algebra over the field k is an algebra (A,\cdot) over k that has an increasing sequence \ \subseteq F_0 \subseteq F_1 \subseteq \cdots \subseteq F_i \subseteq \cdots \subseteq A of subspaces of A such that :A=\bigcup_ F_ and that is compatible with the multiplication in the following sense: : \forall m,n \in \mathbb,\quad F_m\cdot F_n\subseteq F_. Associated graded algebra In general, there is the following construction that produces a graded algebra out of a filtered algebra. If A is a filtered algebra, then the '' associated graded algebra'' \mathcal(A) is defined as follows: The multiplication is well-defined and endows \mathcal(A) with the structure of a graded algebra, with gradation \_. Furthermore if A is associative then so is \mathcal(A). Also, if A is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Koszul Complex
In mathematics, the Koszul complex was first introduced to define a cohomology theory for Lie algebras, by Jean-Louis Koszul (see Lie algebra cohomology). It turned out to be a useful general construction in homological algebra. As a tool, its homology can be used to tell when a set of elements of a (local) ring is an Regular sequence#Definitions, M-regular sequence, and hence it can be used to prove basic facts about the Depth (ring theory), depth of a module or ideal which is an algebraic notion of dimension that is related to but different from the geometric notion of Krull dimension. Moreover, in certain circumstances, the complex is the complex of Hilbert's syzygy theorem#Syzygies (relations), syzygies, that is, it tells you the relations between generators of a module, the relations between these relations, and so forth. Definition Let ''A'' be a commutative ring and ''s: Ar → A'' an ''A''-linear map. Its Koszul complex ''Ks'' is : \bigwedge^r A^r\ \to\ \bigwedge^A^r\ \ ...

Group Cohomology
In mathematics (more specifically, in homological algebra), group cohomology is a set of mathematical tools used to study groups using cohomology theory, a technique from algebraic topology. Analogous to group representations, group cohomology looks at the group actions of a group ''G'' in an associated ''G''-module ''M'' to elucidate the properties of the group. By treating the ''G''-module as a kind of topological space with elements of G^n representing ''n''- simplices, topological properties of the space may be computed, such as the set of cohomology groups H^n(G,M). The cohomology groups in turn provide insight into the structure of the group ''G'' and ''G''-module ''M'' themselves. Group cohomology plays a role in the investigation of fixed points of a group action in a module or space and the quotient module or space with respect to a group action. Group cohomology is used in the fields of abstract algebra, homological algebra, algebraic topology and algebraic number th ...

Absolute Galois Group
In mathematics, the absolute Galois group ''GK'' of a field ''K'' is the Galois group of ''K''sep over ''K'', where ''K''sep is a separable closure of ''K''. Alternatively it is the group of all automorphisms of the algebraic closure of ''K'' that fix ''K''. The absolute Galois group is well-defined up to inner automorphism. It is a profinite group. (When ''K'' is a perfect field, ''K''sep is the same as an algebraic closure ''K''alg of ''K''. This holds e.g. for ''K'' of characteristic zero, or ''K'' a finite field.) Examples * The absolute Galois group of an algebraically closed field is trivial. * The absolute Galois group of the real numbers is a cyclic group of two elements (complex conjugation and the identity map), since C is the separable closure of R, and its degree over R is ''C:Rnbsp;= 2. * The absolute Galois group of a finite field ''K'' is isomorphic to the group of profinite integers :: \hat = \varprojlim \mathbf/n\mathbf. :(For the notation, s ...
