  2. Isotropic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotropic_coordinates

    That is, these nested coordinate spheres do in fact represent geometric spheres, but the appearance of () rather than shows that the radial coordinate do not correspond to area in the same way as for spheres in ordinary euclidean space. Compare Schwarzschild coordinates, where the radial coordinate does have its natural interpretation in terms ...

  3. Gaussian polar coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_polar_coordinates

    A third choice is the Gaussian polar chart, which correctly represents radial distances, but distorts transverse distances and angles. There are other possible charts; the article on spherically symmetric spacetime describes a coordinate system with intuitively appealing features for studying infalling matter.

  5. Nested set model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_set_model

    The nested set model is a solution to that problem. An alternative solution is the expression of the hierarchy as a parent-child relation. Joe Celko called this the adjacency list model. If the hierarchy can have arbitrary depth, the adjacency list model does not allow the expression of operations such as comparing the contents of hierarchies ...

  6. Schwarzschild coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_coordinates

    In the theory of Lorentzian manifolds, spherically symmetric spacetimes admit a family of nested round spheres.In such a spacetime, a particularly important kind of coordinate chart is the Schwarzschild chart, a kind of polar spherical coordinate chart on a static and spherically symmetric spacetime, which is adapted to these nested round spheres.

  8. Polar set - Wikipedia

    The real polar of a subset of is the set: := { : ⁡ , } and the real prepolar of a subset of is the set: := { : ⁡ , }.. As with the absolute prepolar, the real prepolar is usually called the real polar and is also denoted by . [2] It's important to note that some authors (e.g. [Schaefer 1999]) define "polar" to mean "real polar" (rather than "absolute polar", as is done in this article) and ...

    Let (,) be the projective space of dimension over the finite field and let be a reflexive sesquilinear form or a quadratic form on the underlying vector space. The elements of the finite classical polar space associated with this form are the elements of the totally isotropic subspaces (when is a sesquilinear form) or the totally singular subspaces (when is a quadratic form) of (,) with ...
