Let ω be an m-form on M, and let η be an n-form on N that is almost everywhere positive with respect to the orientation of N. Then, for almost every y ∈ N, the form ω / η y is a well-defined integrable m − n form on f −1 (y). Moreover, there is an integrable n-form on N defined by
1. A canonical map is a map or morphism between objects that arises naturally from the definition or the construction of the objects being mapped against each other. 2. A canonical form of an object is some standard or universal way to express the object. correspondence
def – define or definition. deg – degree of a polynomial, or other recursively-defined objects such as well-formed formulas. (Also written as ∂.) del – del, a differential operator. (Also written as.) det – determinant of a matrix or linear transformation. DFT – discrete Fourier transform.
A mathematical symbol is a figure or a combination of figures that is used to represent a mathematical object, an action on mathematical objects, a relation between mathematical objects, or for structuring the other symbols that occur in a formula.
In mathematics, more particularly in functional analysis, differential topology, and geometric measure theory, a k-current in the sense of Georges de Rham is a functional on the space of compactly supported differential k-forms, on a smooth manifold M.
Slope illustrated for y = (3/2)x − 1.Click on to enlarge Slope of a line in coordinates system, from f(x) = −12x + 2 to f(x) = 12x + 2. The slope of a line in the plane containing the x and y axes is generally represented by the letter m, [5] and is defined as the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate, between two distinct points on the line.
In mathematics, especially vector calculus and differential topology, a closed form is a differential form α whose exterior derivative is zero (dα = 0), and an exact form is a differential form, α, that is the exterior derivative of another differential form β. Thus, an exact form is in the image of d, and a closed form is in the kernel of d.
In abstract algebra and multilinear algebra, a multilinear form on a vector space over a field is a map: that is separately -linear in each of its arguments. [1] More generally, one can define multilinear forms on a module over a commutative ring.
