Chebotaryov Theorem On Roots Of Unity
The Chebotarev theorem on roots of unity was originally a conjecture made by Ostrowski in the context of lacunary series. Chebotarev was the first to prove it, in the 1930s. This proof involves tools from Galois theory and pleased Ostrowski, who made comments arguing that it "''does meet the requirements of mathematical esthetics''". Several proofs have been proposed since, and it has even been discovered independently by Dieudonné. Statement Let \Omega be a matrix with entries a_ =\omega^,1\leq i,j\leq n , where \omega =e^,n\in \mathbb. If n is prime then any minor of \Omega is non-zero. Equivalently, all submatrices of a DFT matrix of prime length are invertible. Applications In signal processing, the theorem was used by T. Tao to extend the uncertainty principle In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the accuracy ...

Alexander Ostrowski
Alexander Markowich Ostrowski ( uk, Олександр Маркович Островський; russian: Алекса́ндр Ма́ркович Остро́вский; 25 September 1893, in Kiev, Russian Empire – 20 November 1986, in Montagnola, Lugano, Switzerland) was a mathematician. His father Mark having been a merchant, Alexander Ostrowski attended the Kiev College of Commerce, not a high school, and thus had an insufficient qualification to be admitted to university. However, his talent did not remain undetected: Ostrowski's mentor, Dmitry Grave, wrote to Landau and Hensel for help. Subsequently, Ostrowski began to study mathematics at Marburg University under Hensel's supervision in 1912. During World War I he was interned, but thanks to the intervention of Hensel, the restrictions on his movements were eased somewhat, and he was allowed to use the university library. After the war ended Ostrowski moved to Göttingen where he wrote his doctoral dissertation a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lacunary Function
In analysis, a lacunary function, also known as a lacunary series, is an analytic function that cannot be analytically continued anywhere outside the radius of convergence within which it is defined by a power series. The word ''lacunary'' is derived from lacuna (''pl.'' lacunae), meaning gap, or vacancy. The first known examples of lacunary functions involved Taylor series with large gaps, or lacunae, between the non-zero coefficients of their expansions. More recent investigations have also focused attention on Fourier series with similar gaps between non-zero coefficients. There is a slight ambiguity in the modern usage of the term lacunary series, which may refer to either Taylor series or Fourier series. A simple example Let a\in\mathbb\cap\left ''z'', 0 is an arbitrary positive constant, then ''f''(''z'') is a lacunary function that cannot be continued outside its circle of convergence. In other words, the sequence doesn't have to grow as fast as 2''k'' for ''f''(''z'') ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nikolai Chebotaryov
Nikolai Grigorievich Chebotaryov (often spelled Chebotarov or Chebotarev, uk, Мико́ла Григо́рович Чеботарьо́в, russian: Никола́й Григо́рьевич Чеботарёв) ( – 2 July 1947) was a Ukrainian and Soviet mathematician. He is best known for the Chebotaryov density theorem. He was a student of Dmitry Grave, a Russian mathematician. Chebotaryov worked on the algebra of polynomials, in particular examining the distribution of the zeros. He also studied Galois theory and wrote a textbook on the subject titled ''Basic Galois Theory''. His ideas were used by Emil Artin to prove the Artin reciprocity law. He worked with his student Anatoly Dorodnov on a generalization of the quadrature of the lune, and proved the conjecture now known as the Chebotaryov theorem on roots of unity. Early life Nikolai Chebotaryov was born on 15 June 1894 in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Russian Empire (now in Ukraine). He entered the department of physics and ma ...

Galois Extension
In mathematics, a Galois extension is an algebraic field extension ''E''/''F'' that is normal and separable; or equivalently, ''E''/''F'' is algebraic, and the field fixed by the automorphism group Aut(''E''/''F'') is precisely the base field ''F''. The significance of being a Galois extension is that the extension has a Galois group and obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. A result of Emil Artin allows one to construct Galois extensions as follows: If ''E'' is a given field, and ''G'' is a finite group of automorphisms of ''E'' with fixed field ''F'', then ''E''/''F'' is a Galois extension. Characterization of Galois extensions An important theorem of Emil Artin states that for a finite extension E/F, each of the following statements is equivalent to the statement that E/F is Galois: *E/F is a normal extension and a separable extension. *E is a splitting field of a separable polynomial with coefficients in F. *, \!\operatorname(E/F), = :F that is, the number o ...

Jean Dieudonné
Jean Alexandre Eugène Dieudonné (; 1 July 1906 – 29 November 1992) was a French mathematician, notable for research in abstract algebra, algebraic geometry, and functional analysis, for close involvement with the Nicolas Bourbaki pseudonymous group and the ''Éléments de géométrie algébrique'' project of Alexander Grothendieck, and as a historian of mathematics, particularly in the fields of functional analysis and algebraic topology. His work on the classical groups (the book ''La Géométrie des groupes classiques'' was published in 1955), and on formal groups, introducing what now are called Dieudonné modules, had a major effect on those fields. He was born and brought up in Lille, with a formative stay in England where he was introduced to algebra. In 1924 he was admitted to the École Normale Supérieure, where André Weil was a classmate. He began working in complex analysis. In 1934 he was one of the group of ''normaliens'' convened by Weil, which would become ...

Submatrix
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array or table of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns, which is used to represent a mathematical object or a property of such an object. For example, \begin1 & 9 & -13 \\20 & 5 & -6 \end is a matrix with two rows and three columns. This is often referred to as a "two by three matrix", a "-matrix", or a matrix of dimension . Without further specifications, matrices represent linear maps, and allow explicit computations in linear algebra. Therefore, the study of matrices is a large part of linear algebra, and most properties and operations of abstract linear algebra can be expressed in terms of matrices. For example, matrix multiplication represents composition of linear maps. Not all matrices are related to linear algebra. This is, in particular, the case in graph theory, of incidence matrices, and adjacency matrices. ''This article focuses on matrices related to linear algebra, and, unles ...

DFT Matrix
In applied mathematics, a DFT matrix is an expression of a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) as a transformation matrix, which can be applied to a signal through matrix multiplication. Definition An ''N''-point DFT is expressed as the multiplication X = W x, where x is the original input signal, W is the ''N''-by-''N'' square DFT matrix, and X is the DFT of the signal. The transformation matrix W can be defined as W = \left(\frac\right)_ , or equivalently: : W = \frac \begin 1&1&1&1&\cdots &1 \\ 1&\omega&\omega^2&\omega^3&\cdots&\omega^ \\ 1&\omega^2&\omega^4&\omega^6&\cdots&\omega^\\ 1&\omega^3&\omega^6&\omega^9&\cdots&\omega^\\ \vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\vdots&\ddots&\vdots\\ 1&\omega^&\omega^&\omega^&\cdots&\omega^ \end , where \omega = e^ is a primitive ''N''th root of unity in which i^2=-1. We can avoid writing large exponents for \omega using the fact that for any exponent x we have the identity \omega^ = \omega^. This is the Vandermonde matrix for the roots of unity, up to the ...

Signal Processing
Signal processing is an electrical engineering subfield that focuses on analyzing, modifying and synthesizing ''signals'', such as audio signal processing, sound, image processing, images, and scientific measurements. Signal processing techniques are used to optimize transmissions, Data storage, digital storage efficiency, correcting distorted signals, subjective video quality and to also detect or pinpoint components of interest in a measured signal. History According to Alan V. Oppenheim and Ronald W. Schafer, the principles of signal processing can be found in the classical numerical analysis techniques of the 17th century. They further state that the digital refinement of these techniques can be found in the digital control systems of the 1940s and 1950s. In 1948, Claude Shannon wrote the influential paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" which was published in the Bell System Technical Journal. The paper laid the groundwork for later development of information c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Uncertainty Principle
In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle (also known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle) is any of a variety of mathematical inequalities asserting a fundamental limit to the accuracy with which the values for certain pairs of physical quantities of a particle, such as position, ''x'', and momentum, ''p'', can be predicted from initial conditions. Such variable pairs are known as complementary variables or canonically conjugate variables; and, depending on interpretation, the uncertainty principle limits to what extent such conjugate properties maintain their approximate meaning, as the mathematical framework of quantum physics does not support the notion of simultaneously well-defined conjugate properties expressed by a single value. The uncertainty principle implies that it is in general not possible to predict the value of a quantity with arbitrary certainty, even if all initial conditions are specified. Introduced first in 1927 by the German physicist Werner ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Theorems In Linear Algebra
In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proved, or can be proved. The ''proof'' of a theorem is a logical argument that uses the inference rules of a deductive system to establish that the theorem is a logical consequence of the axioms and previously proved theorems. In the mainstream of mathematics, the axioms and the inference rules are commonly left implicit, and, in this case, they are almost always those of Zermelo–Fraenkel set theory with the axiom of choice, or of a less powerful theory, such as Peano arithmetic. A notable exception is Wiles's proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, which involves the Grothendieck universes whose existence requires the addition of a new axiom to the set theory. Generally, an assertion that is explicitly called a theorem is a proved result that is not an immediate consequence of other known theorems. Moreover, many authors qualify as ''theorems'' only the most important results, and use the terms ''lemma'', ''proposition'' and '' ...
