  2. Geometric invariant theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_invariant_theory

    The birational point of view can afford to be careless about subsets of codimension 1. To have a moduli space as a scheme is on one side a question about characterising schemes as representable functors (as the Grothendieck school would see it); but geometrically it is more like a compactification question, as the stability criteria revealed.

  3. Stability theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_theory

    The stability of fixed points of a system of constant coefficient linear differential equations of first order can be analyzed using the eigenvalues of the corresponding matrix. An autonomous system ′ =, where x(t) ∈ R n and A is an n×n matrix with real entries, has a constant solution =

  4. Common fixed point problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_fixed_point_problem

    In his thesis, Boyce identified a pair of functions that commute under composition, but do not have a common fixed point, proving the fixed point conjecture to be false. [ 14 ] In 1963, Glenn Baxter and Joichi published a paper about the fixed points of the composite function h ( x ) = f ( g ( x ) ) = g ( f ( x ) ) {\displaystyle h(x)=f(g(x))=g ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_plot

    On the Lémeray diagram, a stable fixed point corresponds to the segment of the staircase with progressively decreasing stair lengths or to an inward spiral, while an unstable fixed point is the segment of the staircase with growing stairs or an outward spiral.

  6. Lawvere's fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawvere's_fixed-point_theorem

    In mathematics, Lawvere's fixed-point theorem is an important result in category theory. [1] It is a broad abstract generalization of many diagonal arguments in mathematics and logic, such as Cantor's diagonal argument, Cantor's theorem, Russell's paradox, Gödel's first incompleteness theorem, Turing's solution to the Entscheidungsproblem, and Tarski's undefinability theorem.

  7. Fixed point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_point_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint), also known as an invariant point, is a value that does not change under a given transformation. Specifically, for functions, a fixed point is an element that is mapped to itself by the function. Any set of fixed points of a transformation is also an invariant set.

  8. Hilbert–Mumford criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert–Mumford_criterion

    The standard example is the action of C * on the plane C 2 defined as (,) = (,).The weight in the x-direction is 1 and the weight in the y-direction is -1.Thus by the Hilbert–Mumford criterion, a non-zero point on the x-axis admits 1 as its only weight, and a non-zero point on the y-axis admits -1 as its only weight, so they are both unstable; a general point in the plane admits both 1 and ...

    Let : be a smooth map with hyperbolic fixed point at .We denote by () the stable set and by () the unstable set of .. The theorem [2] [3] [4] states that is a smooth manifold and its tangent space has the same dimension as the stable space of the linearization of at .
