  2. Scale invariance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_invariance

    The Wiener process is scale-invariant. In physics, mathematics and statistics, scale invariance is a feature of objects or laws that do not change if scales of length, energy, or other variables, are multiplied by a common factor, and thus represent a universality.

  3. Self-similarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-similarity

    Scale invariance is an exact form of self-similarity where at any magnification there is a smaller piece of the object that is similar to the whole. For instance, a side of the Koch snowflake is both symmetrical and scale-invariant; it can be continually magnified 3x without changing shape. The non-trivial similarity evident in fractals is ...

  4. Power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

    This property of () follows directly from the requirement that () be asymptotically scale invariant; thus, the form of () only controls the shape and finite extent of the lower tail. For instance, if L ( x ) {\displaystyle L(x)} is the constant function, then we have a power law that holds for all values of x {\displaystyle x} .

  5. Renormalization group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renormalization_group

    The renormalization group is intimately related to scale invariance and conformal invariance, symmetries in which a system appears the same at all scales (self-similarity), [a] where under the fixed point of the renormalization group flow the field theory is conformally invariant. As the scale varies, it is as if one is decreasing (as RG is a ...

  6. Wiener process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_process

    Unlike the random walk, it is scale invariant, meaning that is a Wiener process for any nonzero constant α. The Wiener measure is the probability law on the space of continuous functions g, with g(0) = 0, induced by the Wiener process.

  7. Beta function (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_function_(physics)

    If the beta functions of a quantum field theory vanish, usually at particular values of the coupling parameters, then the theory is said to be scale-invariant. Almost all scale-invariant QFTs are also conformally invariant. The study of such theories is conformal field theory. The coupling parameters of a quantum field theory can run even if ...

  8. Invariant (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    This one is invariant under horizontal and vertical translation, as well as rotation by 180° (but not under reflection). In mathematics, an invariant is a property of a mathematical object (or a class of mathematical objects) which remains unchanged after operations or transformations of a certain type are applied to the objects.
