Ternary Quartic
In mathematics, a ternary quartic form is a degree 4 homogeneous polynomial in three variables. Hilbert's theorem showed that a positive semi-definite ternary quartic form over the reals can be written as a sum of three squares of quadratic forms. Invariant theory The ring of invariants is generated by 7 algebraically independent invariants of degrees 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 27 (discriminant) , together with 6 more invariants of degrees 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 21, as conjectured by . discussed the invariants of order up to about 15. The Salmon invariant is a degree 60 invariant vanishing on ternary quartics with an inflection bitangent. Catalecticant The catalecticant of a ternary quartic is the resultant of its 6 second partial derivatives. It vanishes when the ternary quartic can be written as a sum of five 4th powers of linear forms.

Homogeneous Polynomial
In mathematics, a homogeneous polynomial, sometimes called quantic in older texts, is a polynomial whose nonzero terms all have the same degree. For example, x^5 + 2 x^3 y^2 + 9 x y^4 is a homogeneous polynomial of degree 5, in two variables; the sum of the exponents in each term is always 5. The polynomial x^3 + 3 x^2 y + z^7 is not homogeneous, because the sum of exponents does not match from term to term. The function defined by a homogeneous polynomial is always a homogeneous function. An algebraic form, or simply form, is a function defined by a homogeneous polynomial. A binary form is a form in two variables. A ''form'' is also a function defined on a vector space, which may be expressed as a homogeneous function of the coordinates over any basis. A polynomial of degree 0 is always homogeneous; it is simply an element of the field or ring of the coefficients, usually called a constant or a scalar. A form of degree 1 is a linear form. A form of degree 2 is a quadra ...

Quadratic Form
In mathematics, a quadratic form is a polynomial with terms all of degree two ("form" is another name for a homogeneous polynomial). For example, :4x^2 + 2xy - 3y^2 is a quadratic form in the variables and . The coefficients usually belong to a fixed field , such as the real or complex numbers, and one speaks of a quadratic form over . If K=\mathbb R, and the quadratic form takes zero only when all variables are simultaneously zero, then it is a definite quadratic form, otherwise it is an isotropic quadratic form. Quadratic forms occupy a central place in various branches of mathematics, including number theory, linear algebra, group theory (orthogonal group), differential geometry ( Riemannian metric, second fundamental form), differential topology ( intersection forms of four-manifolds), and Lie theory (the Killing form). Quadratic forms are not to be confused with a quadratic equation, which has only one variable and includes terms of degree two or less. A quadrati ...

Emmy Noether - Table Of Invariants 2
The Emmy Awards, or Emmys, are an extensive range of awards for artistic and technical merit for the American and international television industry. A number of annual Emmy Award ceremonies are held throughout the calendar year, each with their own set of rules and award categories. The two events that receive the most media coverage are the Primetime Emmy Awards and the Daytime Emmy Awards, which recognize outstanding work in American primetime and daytime entertainment programming, respectively. Other notable U.S. national Emmy events include the Children's & Family Emmy Awards for children's and family-oriented television programming, the Sports Emmy Awards for sports programming, News & Documentary Emmy Awards for news and documentary shows, and the Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards and the Primetime Engineering Emmy Awards for technological and engineering achievements. Regional Emmy Awards are also presented throughout the country at various times through the year, r ...

Ternary Cubic
In mathematics, a ternary cubic form is a homogeneous degree 3 polynomial in three variables. Invariant theory The ternary cubic is one of the few cases of a form of degree greater than 2 in more than 2 variables whose ring of invariants was calculated explicitly in the 19th century. The ring of invariants The algebra of invariants of a ternary cubic under SL3(C) is a polynomial algebra generated by two invariants ''S'' and ''T'' of degrees 4 and 6, called Aronhold invariants. The invariants are rather complicated when written as polynomials in the coefficients of the ternary cubic, and are given explicitly in The ring of covariants The ring of covariants is given as follows. The identity covariant ''U'' of a ternary cubic has degree 1 and order 3. The Hessian ''H'' is a covariant of ternary cubics of degree 3 and order 3. There is a covariant ''G'' of ternary cubics of degree 8 and order 6 that vanishes on points ''x'' lying on the Salmon conic of the polar of ''x'' with ...

Invariants Of A Binary Form
In mathematical invariant theory, an invariant of a binary form is a polynomial in the coefficients of a binary form in two variables ''x'' and ''y'' that remains invariant under the special linear group acting on the variables ''x'' and ''y''. Terminology A binary form (of degree ''n'') is a homogeneous polynomial Σ ()''a''''n''−''i''''x''''n''−''i''''y''''i'' = ''a''''n''''x''''n'' + ()''a''''n''−1''x''''n''−1''y'' + ... + ''a''0''y''''n''. The group ''SL''2(C) acts on these forms by taking ''x'' to ''ax'' + ''by'' and ''y'' to ''cx'' + ''dy''. This induces an action on the space spanned by ''a''0, ..., ''a''''n'' and on the polynomials in these variables. An invariant is a polynomial in these ''n'' + 1 variables ''a''0, ..., ''a''''n'' that is invariant under this action. More generally a covariant is a polynomial in ''a''0, ..., ''a''''n'', ''x'', ''y'' that is invariant, so an invariant is a special case of a co ...

American Journal Of Mathematics
The ''American Journal of Mathematics'' is a bimonthly mathematics journal published by the Johns Hopkins University Press. History The ''American Journal of Mathematics'' is the oldest continuously published mathematical journal in the United States, established in 1878 at the Johns Hopkins University by James Joseph Sylvester, an English-born mathematician who also served as the journal's editor-in-chief from its inception through early 1884. Initially W. E. Story was associate editor in charge; he was replaced by Thomas Craig in 1880. For volume 7 Simon Newcomb became chief editor with Craig managing until 1894. Then with volume 16 it was "Edited by Thomas Craig with the Co-operation of Simon Newcomb" until 1898. Other notable mathematicians who have served as editors or editorial associates of the journal include Frank Morley, Oscar Zariski, Lars Ahlfors, Hermann Weyl, Wei-Liang Chow, S. S. Chern, André Weil, Harish-Chandra, Jean Dieudonné, Henri Cartan, Stephen Smale, ...

Advances In Mathematics
''Advances in Mathematics'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on pure mathematics. It was established in 1961 by Gian-Carlo Rota. The journal publishes 18 issues each year, in three volumes. At the origin, the journal aimed at publishing articles addressed to a broader "mathematical community", and not only to mathematicians in the author's field. Herbert Busemann writes, in the preface of the first issue, "The need for expository articles addressing either all mathematicians or only those in somewhat related fields has long been felt, but little has been done outside of the USSR. The serial publication ''Advances in Mathematics'' was created in response to this demand." Abstracting and indexing The journal is abstracted and indexed in:Abstracting and Indexing

Mathematische Annalen
''Mathematische Annalen'' (abbreviated as ''Math. Ann.'' or, formerly, ''Math. Annal.'') is a German mathematical research journal founded in 1868 by Alfred Clebsch and Carl Neumann. Subsequent managing editors were Felix Klein, David Hilbert, Otto Blumenthal, Erich Hecke, Heinrich Behnke, Hans Grauert, Heinz Bauer, Herbert Amann, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon, Wolfgang Lück, and Nigel Hitchin. Currently, the managing editor of Mathematische Annalen is Thomas Schick. Volumes 1–80 (1869–1919) were published by Teubner. Since 1920 (vol. 81), the journal has been published by Springer. In the late 1920s, under the editorship of Hilbert, the journal became embroiled in controversy over the participation of L. E. J. Brouwer on its editorial board, a spillover from the foundational Brouwer–Hilbert controversy. Between 1945 and 1947 the journal briefly ceased publication.
