  2. Polarization of an algebraic form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_of_an...

    In mathematics, in particular in algebra, polarization is a technique for expressing a homogeneous polynomial in a simpler fashion by adjoining more variables. Specifically, given a homogeneous polynomial, polarization produces a unique symmetric multilinear form from which the original polynomial can be recovered by evaluating along a certain diagonal.

  3. Polarization identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_identity

    In linear algebra, a branch of mathematics, the polarization identity is any one of a family of formulas that express the inner product of two vectors in terms of the norm of a normed vector space. If a norm arises from an inner product then the polarization identity can be used to express this inner product entirely in terms of the norm. The ...

  4. Polarization (Lie algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization_(Lie_algebra)

    In representation theory, polarization is the maximal totally isotropic subspace of a certain skew-symmetric bilinear form on a Lie algebra.The notion of polarization plays an important role in construction of irreducible unitary representations of some classes of Lie groups by means of the orbit method [1] as well as in harmonic analysis on Lie groups and mathematical physics.

  5. Abelian variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abelian_variety

    In mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry, complex analysis and algebraic number theory, an abelian variety is a smooth projective algebraic variety that is also an algebraic group, i.e., has a group law that can be defined by regular functions. Abelian varieties are at the same time among the most studied objects in algebraic geometry ...

  6. Hodge structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_structure

    Hodge structures have been generalized for all complex varieties (even if they are singular and non-complete) in the form of mixed Hodge structures, defined by Pierre Deligne (1970). A variation of Hodge structure is a family of Hodge structures parameterized by a manifold, first studied by Phillip Griffiths (1968).

  7. Jacobian variety - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobian_variety

    In mathematics, the Jacobian variety J(C) of a non-singular algebraic curve C of genus g is the moduli space of degree 0 line bundles. It is the connected component of the identity in the Picard group of C , hence an abelian variety .

  9. Homogeneous polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_polynomial

    An algebraic form, or simply form, is a function defined by a homogeneous polynomial. [ notes 1 ] A binary form is a form in two variables. A form is also a function defined on a vector space , which may be expressed as a homogeneous function of the coordinates over any basis .
