  2. Invariant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The phrases "invariant under" and "invariant to" a transformation are both used. More generally, an invariant with respect to an equivalence relation is a property that is constant on each equivalence class. [3] Invariants are used in diverse areas of mathematics such as geometry, topology, algebra and discrete mathematics. Some important ...

    Springer, T. A. (1977), Invariant Theory, New York: Springer, ISBN 0-387-08242-5 An older but still useful survey. Sturmfels, Bernd (1993), Algorithms in Invariant Theory, New York: Springer, ISBN 0-387-82445-6 A beautiful introduction to the theory of invariants of finite groups and techniques for computing them using Gröbner bases.

  4. Invariants of tensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invariants_of_tensors

    A real tensor in 3D (i.e., one with a 3x3 component matrix) has as many as six independent invariants, three being the invariants of its symmetric part and three characterizing the orientation of the axial vector of the skew-symmetric part relative to the principal directions of the symmetric part.

  5. Arnold invariants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_invariants

    In mathematics, particularly in topology and knot theory, Arnold invariants are invariants introduced by Vladimir Arnold in 1994 [1] for studying the topology and geometry of plane curves. The three main invariants— J + {\displaystyle J^{+}} , J − {\displaystyle J^{-}} , and S t {\displaystyle St} —provide ways to classify and understand ...

  6. Complete set of invariants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_set_of_invariants

    In the classification of two-dimensional closed manifolds, Euler characteristic (or genus) and orientability are a complete set of invariants. Jordan normal form of a matrix is a complete invariant for matrices up to conjugation, but eigenvalues (with multiplicities) are not.

  7. Modular invariant theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modular_invariant_theory

    In mathematics, a modular invariant of a group is an invariant of a finite group acting ... ISSN 0040-8980, MR 0927606, archived from the original (PDF) on 2012-03-05 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Geometric invariant theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_invariant_theory

    Geometric invariant theory was founded and developed by Mumford in a monograph, first published in 1965, that applied ideas of nineteenth century invariant theory, including some results of Hilbert, to modern algebraic geometry questions. (The book was greatly expanded in two later editions, with extra appendices by Fogarty and Mumford, and a ...
