Are there any other examples where "weak" and "strong" are confused in mathematics?
As an example where the adjectives "weak" and "strong" refer to hypotheses, rather than conclusions, a favorite of mine is (Gelfand-Pettis) "weak" vector-valued integrals, as juxtaposed to (Bochner) " …

Why limit of discrete series representation?
These repns are not actually "discrete series", in that they do not appear in $L^2(G)$. Yet their construction/description is completely parallel to that of the discrete family of repns called "discre …

The name of special 16-dimensional hypercomplex number
Isn't this an example of a Clifford algebra attached to a quadratic form?
It seems so to me, though maybe the intention has some quirks... but, if so, it is certainly associative, and its structure as …

What do you call a scaled orthogonal map?
"Orthogonal similitude" would be consistent with a very-common use of "symplectic similitude" (in automorphic forms and repn theory) for $g\in GL_n$ such that $g^\top J g=\nu(g)\cdot J$ for skew-symme …

What is the difference between an automorphic form and a modular form?
Very briefly: until work of Hans Maass c. 1949, "modular" or "automorphic" both referred to holomorphic functions invariant-up-to-cocycle (that is, invariant holomorphic sections of a bundle) on a quo …
