    An astroid as the envelope of the family of lines connecting points (s,0), (0,t) with s 2 + t 2 = 1. The following example shows that in some cases the envelope of a family of curves may be seen as the topologic boundary of a union of sets, whose boundaries are the curves of the envelope.

  3. Super-Poincaré algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Poincaré_algebra

    The super-Poincaré algebra was first proposed in the context of the Haag–Łopuszański–Sohnius theorem, as a means of avoiding the conclusions of the Coleman–Mandula theorem. That is, the Coleman–Mandula theorem is a no-go theorem that states that the Poincaré algebra cannot be extended with additional symmetries that might describe ...

  4. Lie superalgebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie_superalgebra

    This rolling-up is not normally referred to as "super". Thus, supergraded Lie superalgebras carry a pair of / ‑gradations: one of which is supersymmetric, and the other is classical. Pierre Deligne calls the supersymmetric one the super gradation, and the classical one the cohomological gradation. These two gradations must be compatible, and ...

  5. Supergroup (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Super-Poincaré group is the group of isometries of superspace (specifically, Minkowski superspace with supercharges, where often is taken to be 1). It is most often treated at the algebra level, and is generated by the Super-Poincaré algebra.

  6. Envelope (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_(category_theory)

    In abstract harmonic analysis the notion of envelope plays a key role in the generalizations of the Pontryagin duality theory [20] to the classes of non-commutative groups: the holomorphic, the smooth and the continuous envelopes of stereotype algebras (in the examples given above) lead respectively to the constructions of the holomorphic, the ...

  7. Reflection symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflection_symmetry

    In mathematics, reflection symmetry, line symmetry, mirror symmetry, or mirror-image symmetry is symmetry with respect to a reflection. That is, a figure which does not change upon undergoing a reflection has reflectional symmetry. In 2-dimensional space, there is a line/axis of symmetry, in 3-dimensional space, there is a plane of symmetry

  8. The Symmetries of Things - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Symmetries_of_Things

    The Symmetries of Things has three major sections, subdivided into 26 chapters. [8] The first of the sections discusses the symmetries of geometric objects. It includes both the symmetries of finite objects in two and three dimensions, and two-dimensional infinite structures such as frieze patterns and tessellations, [2] and develops a new notation for these symmetries based on work of ...

  9. Superalgebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superalgebra

    The category of all R-supermodules forms a monoidal category under the super tensor product with R serving as the unit object. An associative, unital superalgebra over R can then be defined as a monoid in the category of R-supermodules. That is, a superalgebra is an R-supermodule A with two (even) morphisms
