  2. Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berezinskii–Kosterlitz...

    The Berezinskii–Kosterlitz–Thouless (BKT) transition is a phase transition of the two-dimensional (2-D) XY model in statistical physics.It is a transition from bound vortex-antivortex pairs at low temperatures to unpaired vortices and anti-vortices at some critical temperature.

  3. Two-vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-vector

    A two-vector or bivector [1] is a tensor of type () and it is the dual of a two-form, meaning that it is a linear functional which maps two-forms to the real numbers (or more generally, to scalars). The tensor product of a pair of vectors is a two-vector. Then, any two-form can be expressed as a linear combination of tensor products of pairs of ...

    where r: [a, b] → C is an arbitrary bijective parametrization of the curve C such that r(a) and r(b) give the endpoints of C and <. For a vector field F : U ⊆ R 2 → R 2, the line integral along a piecewise smooth curve C ⊂ U, in the direction of r, is defined as

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    where c θ = cos θ, s θ = sin θ, is a rotation by angle θ leaving axis u fixed. A direction in (n + 1)-dimensional space will be a unit magnitude vector, which we may consider a point on a generalized sphere, S n. Thus it is natural to describe the rotation group SO(n + 1) as combining SO(n) and S n. A suitable formalism is the fiber bundle,

  7. Rotation of axes in two dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_of_axes_in_two...

    In mathematics, a rotation of axes in two dimensions is a mapping from an xy-Cartesian coordinate system to an x′y′-Cartesian coordinate system in which the origin is kept fixed and the x′ and y′ axes are obtained by rotating the x and y axes counterclockwise through an angle .

    First a mask is created, which includes one or more vector primitives or forms, i.e., circles, squares, TrueType fonts, Bézier curves, etc. Then source must be defined, which may be a color, a color gradient, a bitmap or some vector graphics, and from the painted parts of this source a die cut is made with the help of the above defined mask.

  9. Euclidean vector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_vector

    A vector pointing from A to B. In mathematics, physics, and engineering, a Euclidean vector or simply a vector (sometimes called a geometric vector [1] or spatial vector [2]) is a geometric object that has magnitude (or length) and direction. Euclidean vectors can be added and scaled to form a vector space.
