A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Using the right tags makes it easier for others to find and answer your question.
Equations whose unknown is a matrix, such as, for instance, algebraic Riccati equations $XAX+XB+CX+D=0$ or matrix differential equations (e.g. $\dot X(t)=AX(t)$. This tag is *not* meant for general sy…
A groupoid is a category where all morphisms are invertible. This notion can also be seen as an extension of the notion of group. A motivating example is the fundamental groupoid of a topological spac…
Questions about K3 surfaces, which are smooth complex surfaces $X$ with trivial canonical bundle and vanishing $H^1(O_X)$. They are examples of Calabi-Yau varieties of dimension $2$.
Symbolic dynamics is the study of dynamical systems defined in terms of shift transformations on spaces of sequences. Examples of topics in this area include shifts of finite type, sofic shifts, Toepl…
For standard Young tableaux, semistandard Young tableaux, and other related two-dimensional arrays of numbers like plane partitions. Including their combinatorial theory and their application in repre…
A symmetric space is a connected Riemannian manifold in which at every point there exists a global self-isometry whose differential at the given point is minus identity.
Contact manifolds, contact structures, contact forms, Reeb dynamics, Legendrian knots, contact homology, symplectic field theory
For questions about writing mathematical texts, e.g. questions of style, mathematical prose, structuring of mathematical exposition, referencing prior work etc.
Everything the deals with properties and definitions of Haar measure, as well as related fields when the question relies heavily on the notion of haar measure - group harmonic analysis, group ergodic …
used only for functions based on gamma, not functions with some obscure relation to gamma
For questions about careers and jobs in mathematics (inside and outside academia)
Questions regarding derivatives and integrals of non-integer order.
Tensors, multivectors, wedge products, multilinear maps, exterior (Grassmann) algebras.
Questions in which books play a key-role, such as questions on antique books, e-books, difference between various editions of a book, etc. For questions asking for recommendations of books on some sub…
Interpolation is the theory of constructing smooth functions, usually polynomials or trigonometric polynomials, whose graph passes through a number of given points in the plane. Splines and Bézier cur…
Mathematical questions related to mathematical software systems such as Sage, Mathematica, Maple, Pari/GP, and GAP. Note that troubleshooting questions are generally considered off-topic.
The general enterprise of calibrating the strength of classical mathematical theorems in terms of the axioms, typically of set existence, needed to prove them; originated in its modern form in the 197…
In algebraic geometry, a projective variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ is a subset of some projective $n$-space $\mathbb P^n$ over $k$ that is the zero-locus of some finite family of homog…
For questions about matchings in graph theory. A matching on a graph is a set of edges such that no two edges share a common vertex.
An arithmetic progression is a (possibly infinite) sequence of numbers such that the difference between consecutive terms is always the same value.
