  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. Universal geometric algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_geometric_algebra

    Some r-vectors are scalars (r = 0), vectors (r = 1) and bivectors (r = 2). One may generate a finite-dimensional GA by choosing a unit pseudoscalar (I). The set of all vectors that satisfy = is a vector space. The geometric product of the vectors in this vector space then defines the GA, of which I is a member.

    The tangent vectors e 1 and e 2 of a frame on M define smooth functions from E with values in R 3, so each gives a 3-vector of functions and in particular de 1 is a 3-vector of 1-forms on E. The connection form is given by

  5. Vertical and horizontal bundles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal...

    Vertical and horizontal subspaces for the Möbius strip. The Möbius strip is a line bundle over the circle, and the circle can be pictured as the middle ring of the strip. . At each point on the strip, the projection map projects it towards the middle ring, and the fiber is perpendicular to the middle ri

  6. Blade (geometry) - Wikipedia

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

    In the study of geometric algebras, a k-blade or a simple k-vector is a generalization of the concept of scalars and vectors to include simple bivectors, trivectors, etc. Specifically, a k-blade is a k-vector that can be expressed as the exterior product (informally wedge product) of 1-vectors, and is of grade k. In detail: [1] A 0-blade is a ...

  7. Carathéodory's theorem (convex hull) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carathéodory's_theorem...

    Thm.2.2 Let X 1, ..., X d be sets in R d and let x be a point contained in the intersection of the conical hulls of all these d sets. Then there is a set T = {x 1, ..., x d}, where x 1 ∈ X 1, ..., x d ∈ X d, such that the conical hull of T contains the point x. [10] Mustafa and Ray extended this colorful theorem from points to convex bodies ...

  8. Metric signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_signature

    In mathematics, the signature of a metric tensor g (or equivalently, a real quadratic form thought of as a real symmetric bilinear form on a finite-dimensional vector space) is the number (counted with multiplicity) of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of the real symmetric matrix g ab of the metric tensor with respect to a basis.

  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.
