  2. Vertex operator algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_operator_algebra

    In mathematics, a vertex operator algebra (VOA) is an algebraic structure that plays an important role in two-dimensional conformal field theory and string theory.In addition to physical applications, vertex operator algebras have proven useful in purely mathematical contexts such as monstrous moonshine and the geometric Langlands correspondence.

  3. Quadratic formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula

    If the parabola's vertex is on the ⁠ ⁠-axis, then the corresponding equation has a single repeated root on the line of symmetry, and this distance term is zero; algebraically, the discriminant ⁠ = ⁠.

    In contrast, the graph of the function f(x) + k = x 2 + k is a parabola shifted upward by k whose vertex is at (0, k), as shown in the center figure. Combining both horizontal and vertical shifts yields f(x − h) + k = (x − h) 2 + k is a parabola shifted to the right by h and upward by k whose vertex is at (h, k), as shown in the bottom figure.

  5. Vertex (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertex_(geometry)

    A vertex of an angle is the endpoint where two lines or rays come together. In geometry, a vertex (pl.: vertices or vertexes) is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet or intersect. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedra are vertices. [1] [2] [3]

  6. Zhu algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhu_algebra

    In mathematics, the Zhu algebra and the closely related C 2-algebra, introduced by Yongchang Zhu in his PhD thesis, are two associative algebras canonically constructed from a given vertex operator algebra. [1] Many important representation theoretic properties of the vertex algebra are logically related to properties of its Zhu algebra or C 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_and_vertex_spaces

    The vertex space of G is the vector space over the finite field of two elements /:= {,} of all functions /. Every element of V ( G ) {\displaystyle {\mathcal {V}}(G)} naturally corresponds the subset of V which assigns a 1 to its vertices.

    Conversely, if it is required to find the point B for a particular area SAB, find point J from HJ and point B as before. By Book 1, Proposition 16, Corollary 6 of Newton's Principia, the speed of a body moving along a parabola with a force directed towards the focus is inversely proportional to the square root of the radius.
