The pair (P, η) defines the structure of an affine geometry on M, making it into an affine manifold. The affine Lie algebra aff(n) splits as a semidirect product of R n and gl(n) and so η may be written as a pair (θ, ω) where θ takes values in R n and ω takes values in gl(n).
One approach to affine term structure modeling is to enforce an arbitrage-free condition on the proposed model. In a series of papers, [2] [3] [4] a proposed dynamic yield curve model was developed using an arbitrage-free version of the famous Nelson-Siegel model, [5] which the authors label AFNS. To derive the AFNS model, the authors make ...
It is induced, in a canonical manner, from the affine connection. It can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local Lorentz transformations . In some canonical formulations of general relativity, a spin connection is defined on spatial slices and can also be regarded as the gauge field generated by local rotations .
Affine gauge theory is classical gauge theory where gauge fields are affine connections on the tangent bundle over a smooth manifold.For instance, these are gauge theory of dislocations in continuous media when =, the generalization of metric-affine gravitation theory when is a world manifold and, in particular, gauge theory of the fifth force.
Malvin Ruderman and Charles Kittel of the University of California, Berkeley first proposed the model to explain unusually broad nuclear spin resonance lines in natural metallic silver. The theory is an indirect exchange coupling : the hyperfine interaction couples the nuclear spin of one atom to a conduction electron also coupled to the spin ...
Let Y → X be an affine bundle modelled over a vector bundle Y → X. A connection Γ on Y → X is called the affine connection if it as a section Γ : Y → J 1 Y of the jet bundle J 1 Y → Y of Y is an affine bundle morphism over X. In particular, this is an affine connection on the tangent bundle TX of a smooth manifold X. (That is, the ...
In geometry, a hypersurface is a generalization of the concepts of hyperplane, plane curve, and surface.A hypersurface is a manifold or an algebraic variety of dimension n − 1, which is embedded in an ambient space of dimension n, generally a Euclidean space, an affine space or a projective space.

Shape-memory coupling is a system for connecting pipes using shape-memory alloys. In its typical form the technique uses an internally ribbed sleeve of alloy such as Tinel (see Nitinol ) that is slightly smaller in diameter than the pipes it is to connect.
