    The genus g of X can be read from the canonical divisor: namely, K X has degree 2g − 2. The key trichotomy among compact Riemann surfaces X is whether the canonical divisor has negative degree (so X has genus zero), zero degree (genus one), or positive degree (genus at least 2).

  3. Zero divisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_divisor

    An element that is a left or a right zero divisor is simply called a zero divisor. [2] An element a that is both a left and a right zero divisor is called a two-sided zero divisor (the nonzero x such that ax = 0 may be different from the nonzero y such that ya = 0). If the ring is commutative, then the left and right zero divisors are the same.

    Prime numbers have exactly 2 divisors, and highly composite numbers are in bold. 7 is a divisor of 42 because =, so we can say It can also be said that 42 is divisible by 7, 42 is a multiple of 7, 7 divides 42, or 7 is a factor of 42. The non-trivial divisors of 6 are 2, −2, 3, −3.

    But in the ring Z/6Z, 2 is a zero divisor. This equation has two distinct solutions, x = 1 and x = 4, so the expression is undefined. In field theory, the expression is only shorthand for the formal expression ab −1, where b −1 is the multiplicative inverse of b.

    Pic 0 (V). The quotient Pic(V)/Pic 0 (V) is an abelian group NS(V), called the Néron–Severi group of V. This is a finitely-generated abelian group by the Néron–Severi theorem, which was proved by Severi over the complex numbers and by Néron over more general fields. In other words, the Picard group fits into an exact sequence

  7. Division algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_algebra

    A finite-dimensional unital associative algebra (over any field) is a division algebra if and only if it has no nonzero zero divisors. Whenever A is an associative unital algebra over the field F and S is a simple module over A , then the endomorphism ring of S is a division algebra over F ; every associative division algebra over F arises in ...

    However, 0 ≤ r < d, and d is the smallest positive integer in S: the remainder r can therefore not be in S, making r necessarily 0. This implies that d is a divisor of a. Similarly d is also a divisor of b, and therefore d is a common divisor of a and b. Now, let c be any common divisor of a and b; that is, there exist u and v such that a ...

  9. Division (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In these enlarged number systems, division is the inverse operation to multiplication, that is a = c / b means a × b = c, as long as b is not zero. If b = 0, then this is a division by zero, which is not defined. [a] [4]: 246 In the 21-apples example, everyone would receive 5 apple and a quarter of an apple, thus avoiding any leftover.
