  2. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The graph crosses the x-axis at roots of odd multiplicity and does not cross it at roots of even multiplicity. A non-zero polynomial function is everywhere non-negative if and only if all its roots have even multiplicity and there exists an x 0 {\displaystyle x_{0}} such that f ( x 0 ) > 0 {\displaystyle f(x_{0})>0} .

    Therefore, it vanishes at two points and has poles at two points. These are the points in C 0 ∩ D and C ∞ ∩ D, respectively, counted with multiplicity and with the circular points deducted. The rational function determines a morphism D → P 1 of degree two. The fiber over [S : T] ∈ P 1 is the set of points P for which f(P)T = g(P)S.

    are solved using cross-multiplication, since the missing b term is implicitly equal to 1: a 1 = x d . {\displaystyle {\frac {a}{1}}={\frac {x}{d}}.} Any equation containing fractions or rational expressions can be simplified by multiplying both sides by the least common denominator .

    The dominant term in this formula is the term =; the contribution of this term is (), which is just the multiplicity of in the Verma module with highest weight . If λ {\displaystyle \lambda } is sufficiently far inside the fundamental Weyl chamber and μ {\displaystyle \mu } is sufficiently close to λ {\displaystyle \lambda } , it may happen ...

  6. Resolution of singularities - Wikipedia

    The Whitney umbrella x 2 = y 2 z has singular set the z axis, most of whose point are ordinary double points, but there is a more complicated pinch point singularity at the origin, so blowing up the worst singular points suggests that one should start by blowing up the origin. However blowing up the origin reproduces the same singularity on one ...

    (If one of the four points is the line's point at infinity, then the two distances involving that point are dropped from the formula.) The point D is the harmonic conjugate of C with respect to A and B precisely if the cross-ratio of the quadruple is −1, called the harmonic ratio.

  8. Scheme-theoretic intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme-theoretic_intersection

    That is, a scheme-theoretic multiplicity of an intersection may differ from an intersection-theoretic multiplicity, the latter given by Serre's Tor formula. Solving this disparity is one of the starting points for derived algebraic geometry , which aims to introduce the notion of derived intersection .

  9. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    Let X be a Riemann surface.Then the intersection number of two closed curves on X has a simple definition in terms of an integral. For every closed curve c on X (i.e., smooth function :), we can associate a differential form of compact support, the Poincaré dual of c, with the property that integrals along c can be calculated by integrals over X:
