  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} .

  3. 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 .

  4. Multiplicity theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_theory

    The notion of the multiplicity of a module is a generalization of the degree of a projective variety. By Serre's intersection formula, it is linked to an intersection multiplicity in the intersection theory. The main focus of the theory is to detect and measure a singular point of an algebraic variety (cf. resolution of singularities).

  5. Intersection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_theory

    Consider the following elementary example: the intersection of a parabola y = x 2 and an axis y = 0 should be 2 · (0, 0), because if one of the cycles moves (yet in an undefined sense), there are precisely two intersection points which both converge to (0, 0) when the cycles approach the depicted position.

    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 .

  7. 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:

  8. Resolution of singularities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_of_singularities

    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 ...

    Since is bounded, the averages of it over the two balls are arbitrarily close, and so assumes the same value at any two points. The proof can be adapted to the case where the harmonic function f {\displaystyle f} is merely bounded above or below.
