  2. Quotient group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient_group

    Indeed, if is not closed then the quotient space is not a T1-space (since there is a coset in the quotient which cannot be separated from the identity by an open set), and thus not a Hausdorff space. For a non-normal Lie subgroup ⁠ N {\displaystyle N} ⁠ , the space G / N {\displaystyle G\,/\,N} of left cosets is not a group, but simply a ...

  3. Burnside problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside_problem

    The Burnside problem for groups with bounded exponent can now be restated as follows: Burnside problem II. For which positive integers m, n is the free Burnside group B(m, n) finite? The full solution to Burnside problem in this form is not known. Burnside considered some easy cases in his original paper: B(1, n) is the cyclic group of order n.

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

    Visual proof of the Pythagorean identity: for any angle , the point (,) = (⁡, ⁡) lies on the unit circle, which satisfies the equation + =.Thus, ⁡ + ⁡ =. In mathematics, an identity is an equality relating one mathematical expression A to another mathematical expression B, such that A and B (which might contain some variables) produce the same value for all values of the variables ...

  5. List of logarithmic identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_logarithmic_identities

    The identities of logarithms can be used to approximate large numbers. Note that log b ( a ) + log b ( c ) = log b ( ac ) , where a , b , and c are arbitrary constants. Suppose that one wants to approximate the 44th Mersenne prime , 2 32,582,657 −1 .

  6. Semigroup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semigroup

    Because ~ is a congruence, the set of all congruence classes of ~ forms a semigroup with ∘, called the quotient semigroup or factor semigroup, and denoted S / ~. The mapping x ↦ [x] ~ is a semigroup homomorphism, called the quotient map, canonical surjection or projection; if S is a monoid then quotient semigroup is a monoid with identity ...

  7. Quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotient

    Given a set with an equivalence relation defined on it, a "quotient set" may be created which contains those equivalence classes as elements. A quotient group may be formed by breaking a group into a number of similar cosets, while a quotient space may be formed in a similar process by breaking a vector space into a number of similar linear ...

  8. Equivalence relation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_relation

    Let X be the unit Cartesian square [,] [,], and let ~ be the equivalence relation on X defined by (,) (,) for all [,] and (,) (,) for all [,], Then the quotient space / can be naturally identified (homeomorphism) with a torus: take a square piece of paper, bend and glue together the upper and lower edge to form a cylinder, then bend the ...

  9. Hilbert's seventeenth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_seventeenth_problem

    Hilbert's seventeenth problem is one of the 23 Hilbert problems set out in a celebrated list compiled in 1900 by David Hilbert. It concerns the expression of positive definite rational functions as sums of quotients of squares .
