Set of three unbalanced phasors, and the necessary symmetrical components that sum up to the resulting plot at the bottom. In 1918 Charles Legeyt Fortescue presented a paper [4] which demonstrated that any set of N unbalanced phasors (that is, any such polyphase signal) could be expressed as the sum of N symmetrical sets of balanced phasors, for values of N that are prime.
A basic result of differential geometry states that normal coordinates at a point always exist on a manifold with a symmetric affine connection. In such coordinates the covariant derivative reduces to a partial derivative (at p only), and the geodesics through p are locally linear functions of t (the affine parameter).
A Koszul connection is a connection which defines directional derivative for sections of a vector bundle more general than the tangent bundle. Connections also lead to convenient formulations of geometric invariants, such as the curvature (see also curvature tensor and curvature form), and torsion tensor.
Unless lengths of edges are explicitly provided, the length of a path is the number of edges in it. The distance matrix resembles a high power of the adjacency matrix, but instead of telling only whether or not two vertices are connected (i.e., the connection matrix, which contains Boolean values), it gives the exact distance between them.
In the 1950s Atle Selberg extended Cartan's definition of symmetric space to that of weakly symmetric Riemannian space, or in current terminology weakly symmetric space. These are defined as Riemannian manifolds M with a transitive connected Lie group of isometries G and an isometry σ normalising G such that given x , y in M there is an ...
which vanishes if and only if Γ i kj is symmetric on its lower indices. Given a metric connection with torsion, one can always find a single, unique connection that is torsion-free, this is the Levi-Civita connection. The difference between a Riemannian connection and its associated Levi-Civita connection is the contorsion tensor.
The connection is skew-symmetric in the vector-space (fiber) indices; that is, for a given vector field , the matrix () is skew-symmetric; equivalently, it is an element of the Lie algebra (). This can be seen as follows.
Young diagram of shape (5, 4, 1), English notation Young diagram of shape (5, 4, 1), French notation. A Young diagram (also called a Ferrers diagram, particularly when represented using dots) is a finite collection of boxes, or cells, arranged in left-justified rows, with the row lengths in non-increasing order.
