  2. Bivector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bivector

    A description of the projective geometry can be constructed in the geometric algebra using basic operations. For example, given two distinct points in RP n−1 represented by vectors a and b the line containing them is given by a ∧ b (or b ∧ a). Two lines intersect in a point if A ∧ B = 0 for their bivectors A and B. This point is given ...

  3. Exponential map (Riemannian geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_map...

    The exponential map of the Earth as viewed from the north pole is the polar azimuthal equidistant projection in cartography. In Riemannian geometry, an exponential map is a map from a subset of a tangent space T p M of a Riemannian manifold (or pseudo-Riemannian manifold) M to M itself. The (pseudo) Riemannian metric determines a canonical ...

  4. Biorthogonal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorthogonal_system

    An example is the pair of sets of respectively left and right eigenvectors of a matrix, indexed by eigenvalue, if the eigenvalues are distinct. [ 1 ] A biorthogonal system in which E = F {\displaystyle E=F} and v ~ i = u ~ i {\displaystyle {\tilde {v}}_{i}={\tilde {u}}_{i}} is an orthonormal system .

  5. Dual basis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_basis

    In linear algebra, given a vector space with a basis of vectors indexed by an index set (the cardinality of is the dimension of ), the dual set of is a set of vectors in the dual space with the same index set such that and form a biorthogonal system.

  6. Geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_algebra

    In higher dimensional space, some such multivectors are not blades (cannot be factored into the exterior product of vectors). By way of example, + in (,) cannot be factored; typically, however, such elements of the algebra do not yield to geometric interpretation as objects, although they may represent geometric quantities such as rotations.

  7. One-form (differential geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-form_(differential...

    The differential assigns to each point a linear map from the tangent space to the real numbers. In this case, each tangent space is naturally identifiable with the real number line, and the linear map R → R {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R} } in question is given by scaling by f ′ ( x 0 ) . {\displaystyle f'(x_{0}).}

  8. Bipolar coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_coordinates

    The equations for x and y can be combined to give + = ⁡ (+) [2] [3] or + = ⁡ (). This equation shows that σ and τ are the real and imaginary parts of an analytic function of x+iy (with logarithmic branch points at the foci), which in turn proves (by appeal to the general theory of conformal mapping) (the Cauchy-Riemann equations) that these particular curves of σ and τ intersect at ...

  9. Bipartite graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipartite_graph

    When modelling relations between two different classes of objects, bipartite graphs very often arise naturally. For instance, a graph of football players and clubs, with an edge between a player and a club if the player has played for that club, is a natural example of an affiliation network, a type of bipartite graph used in social network analysis.
