Negative correlation can be seen geometrically when two normalized random vectors are viewed as points on a sphere, and the correlation between them is the cosine of the circular arc of separation of the points on a great circle of the sphere. [1] When this arc is more than a quarter-circle (θ > π/2), then the cosine is negative.

An exception are the spin representation of SO(3): strictly speaking these are representations of the double cover SU(2) of SO(3). In turn, SU(2) is identified with the group of unit quaternions, and so coincides with the 3-sphere. The spaces of spherical harmonics on the 3-sphere are certain spin representations of SO(3), with respect to the ...
[1] Given a line m and P a point not on m, an elementary correlation is obtained as follows: for every Q on m form the line PQ. The inverse correlation starts with the pencil on P: for any line q in this pencil take the point m ∩ q. The composition of two correlations that share the same pencil is a perspectivity.
Terms such as correlation diagram(s), diagram(s) of correlation, and the like may refer to: Data visualization, the general process of presenting information visually; Statistical graphics, images depicting statistical information; In chemistry, there are several types of correlation diagrams:
[1] A flow will often have different Péclet numbers for heat and mass. This can lead to the phenomenon of double diffusive convection. In the context of particulate motion the Péclet number has also been called Brenner number, with symbol Br, in honour of Howard Brenner. [2]
Sphere packing finds practical application in the stacking of cannonballs. In geometry, a sphere packing is an arrangement of non-overlapping spheres within a containing space. The spheres considered are usually all of identical size, and the space is usually three-dimensional Euclidean space.
