Euclid’s Lemma

Bézout's theorem is a fundamental statement in intersection theory. It asserts that the number of intersection points of two plane algebraic curves of degrees [latex]m[/latex] and [latex]n[/latex] is exactly [latex]mn[/latex], provided that one works in a projective plane over an algebraically closed field, counts points with multiplicity, and includes points at infinity where parallel asymptotes meet.

This theorem states that every integer greater than 1 is either a prime number or can be uniquely represented as a product of prime numbers, disregarding the order of the factors. For example, [latex]1200 = 2^4 \times 3^1 \times 5^2[/latex]. This unique factorization is a cornerstone of number theory, providing a fundamental multiplicative structure for the integers.

Hilbert's Nullstellensatz (German for "theorem of zeros") establishes a fundamental correspondence between geometry and algebra. It states that for an algebraically closed field [latex]k[/latex], if a polynomial [latex]p[/latex] vanishes on the zero-set of an ideal [latex]I[/latex], then some power of [latex]p[/latex] must belong to [latex]I[/latex]. Formally, [latex]I(V(I)) = \sqrt{I}[/latex], the radical of [latex]I[/latex].

Sheaf cohomology is a central tool in modern algebraic geometry for studying global properties of geometric spaces. For a sheaf [latex]\mathcal{F}[/latex] on a space [latex]X[/latex], the cohomology groups [latex]H^i(X, \mathcal{F})[/latex] are vector spaces whose dimensions provide important invariants. The group [latex]H^0[/latex] represents global sections, while higher groups [latex]H^i[/latex] for [latex]i > 0[/latex] measure the obstructions to patching together local sections into a global one.

A partial differential equation (PDE) is an equation that imposes relations between the various partial derivatives of a multivariable function. The function is often called the unknown, and a PDE describes a relationship between this unknown function and its derivatives. Unlike ordinary differential equations (ODEs), which involve functions of a single variable, PDEs are fundamental to modeling multidimensional systems.

Eine Technik zum Lösen partieller Differentialgleichungen (PDE) erster und hyperbolischer zweiter Ordnung. Die Methode reduziert eine PDE auf eine Familie gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen (ODEs) entlang bestimmter Kurven, sogenannter „Charakteristiken“. Entlang dieser Kurven vereinfacht sich die PDE, sodass die Lösung durch Integration des Systems der ODEs gefunden werden kann. Diese Methode ist besonders leistungsfähig bei Problemen im Zusammenhang mit Transport und Wellenausbreitung.

Ein grundlegender Existenz- und Eindeutigkeitssatz für partielle Differentialgleichungen im Zusammenhang mit Cauchy-Anfangswertproblemen. Er besagt, dass, wenn die partielle Differentialgleichung und die Anfangsbedingungen „analytisch“ sind (durch konvergente Potenzreihen darstellbar), eine eindeutige analytische Lösung in einer Umgebung der Anfangsfläche existiert. Er bietet eine lokale Existenzgarantie, berücksichtigt jedoch nicht das globale Verhalten oder die Wohlgestelltheit.

An affine variety is the set of points in an affine space whose coordinates are the common zeros of a finite set of polynomials. For a set of polynomials [latex]S = \{f_1, \dots, f_k\}[/latex] in a polynomial ring [latex]k[x_1, \dots, x_n][/latex], the corresponding affine variety is [latex]V(S) = \{x \in k^n | f(x) = 0 \text{ for all } f \in S\}[/latex]. It is a central object of study in classical algebraic geometry.
