  2. Galois theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galois_theory

    It allows one to more easily study infinite extensions. Again this is important in algebraic number theory, where for example one often discusses the absolute Galois group of Q, defined to be the Galois group of K/Q where K is an algebraic closure of Q. It allows for consideration of inseparable extensions.

    3. Between two groups, may mean that the first one is a proper subgroup of the second one. > (greater-than sign) 1. Strict inequality between two numbers; means and is read as "greater than". 2. Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

    satisfying the defining relations of the Milnor K-group. Hence may be regarded as a map on (), called the Galois symbol map. [80] The relation between étale (or Galois) cohomology of the field and Milnor K-theory modulo 2 is the Milnor conjecture, proven by Vladimir Voevodsky. [81]

  5. Clifford algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clifford_algebra

    A Clifford algebra is a unital associative algebra that contains and is generated by a vector space V over a field K, where V is equipped with a quadratic form Q : V → K.The Clifford algebra Cl(V, Q) is the "freest" unital associative algebra generated by V subject to the condition [c] = , where the product on the left is that of the algebra, and the 1 on the right is the algebra's ...

    For two elements a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k and a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k, their product, called the Hamilton product (a 1 + b 1 i + c 1 j + d 1 k) (a 2 + b 2 i + c 2 j + d 2 k), is determined by the products of the basis elements and the distributive law. The distributive law makes it possible to expand the product so that it is a sum of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-function

    The Q-function is well tabulated and can be computed directly in most of the mathematical software packages such as R and those available in Python, MATLAB and Mathematica. Some values of the Q-function are given below for reference.

  8. Discriminant of an algebraic number field - Wikipedia

    A fundamental domain of the ring of integers of the field K obtained from Q by adjoining a root of x 3 − x 2 − 2x + 1. This fundamental domain sits inside KQ R. The discriminant of K is 49 = 7 2. Accordingly, the volume of the fundamental domain is 7 and K is only ramified at 7.

  9. Kullback–Leibler divergence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kullback–Leibler_divergence

    This new (larger) number is measured by the cross entropy between p and q. The cross entropy between two probability distributions (p and q) measures the average number of bits needed to identify an event from a set of possibilities, if a coding scheme is used based on a given probability distribution q, rather than the "true" distribution p.
