Slipknot (album)
''Slipknot'' is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. It was released on June 29, 1999 by Roadrunner Records, following a demo containing a few of the songs which had previously been released in 1998. Later, it was reissued in December 1999 with a slightly-altered track listing and mastering as the result of a lawsuit. It was the first release by the band to be produced by Ross Robinson, who sought to refine Slipknot's sound rather than alter the group's musical direction. This is the only album to feature original guitarist Josh Brainard who left at the end of recording in late 1998 while the band was taking a brief break. Jim Root, who recorded two tracks at this point, would appear full time on subsequent albums. The album spans several genres, but is generally noted for its extensive percussion and overall heavy sound. It was well received by fans and critics alike and was responsible for bringing Slipknot a large increase in popularity. The album peak ...

Purity (algebraic Geometry)
In the mathematical field of algebraic geometry, purity is a theme covering a number of results and conjectures, which collectively address the question of proving that "when something happens, it happens in a particular codimension". Purity of the branch locus For example, ramification is a phenomenon of codimension 1 (in the geometry of complex manifolds, reflecting as for Riemann surfaces that ramify at single points that it happens in real codimension two). A classical result, Zariski–Nagata purity of Masayoshi Nagata and Oscar Zariski, called also purity of the branch locus, proves that on a non-singular algebraic variety a ''branch locus'', namely the set of points at which a morphism ramifies, must be made up purely of codimension 1 subvarieties (a Weil divisor). There have been numerous extensions of this result into theorems of commutative algebra and scheme theory, establishing purity of the branch locus in the sense of description of the restrictions on the possib ...
