Prime Form
In algebraic geometry, the Schottky–Klein prime form ''E''(''x'',''y'') of a compact Riemann surface ''X'' depends on two elements ''x'' and ''y'' of ''X'', and vanishes if and only if ''x'' = ''y''. The prime form ''E'' is not quite a holomorphic function on ''X'' × ''X'', but is a section of a holomorphic line bundle over this space. Prime forms were introduced by Friedrich Schottky and Felix Klein. Prime forms can be used to construct meromorphic functions on ''X'' with given poles and zeros. If Σ''n''''i''''a''''i'' is a divisor linearly equivalent to 0, then Π''E''(''x'',''a''''i'')''n''''i'' is a meromorphic function with given poles and zeros.

Algebraic Geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometry, geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zero of a function, zeros of multivariate polynomials; the modern approach generalizes this in a few different aspects. The fundamental objects of study in algebraic geometry are algebraic variety, algebraic varieties, which are geometric manifestations of solution set, solutions of systems of polynomial equations. Examples of the most studied classes of algebraic varieties are line (geometry), lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, cubic curves like elliptic curves, and quartic curves like lemniscate of Bernoulli, lemniscates and Cassini ovals. These are plane algebraic curves. A point of the plane lies on an algebraic curve if its coordinates satisfy a given polynomial equation. Basic questions involve the study of points of special interest like singular point of a curve, singular p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Compact Space
In mathematics, specifically general topology, compactness is a property that seeks to generalize the notion of a closed and bounded subset of Euclidean space. The idea is that a compact space has no "punctures" or "missing endpoints", i.e., it includes all ''limiting values'' of points. For example, the open interval (0,1) would not be compact because it excludes the limiting values of 0 and 1, whereas the closed interval ,1would be compact. Similarly, the space of rational numbers \mathbb is not compact, because it has infinitely many "punctures" corresponding to the irrational numbers, and the space of real numbers \mathbb is not compact either, because it excludes the two limiting values +\infty and -\infty. However, the ''extended'' real number line ''would'' be compact, since it contains both infinities. There are many ways to make this heuristic notion precise. These ways usually agree in a metric space, but may not be equivalent in other topological spaces. One suc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Riemann Surface
In mathematics, particularly in complex analysis, a Riemann surface is a connected one-dimensional complex manifold. These surfaces were first studied by and are named after Bernhard Riemann. Riemann surfaces can be thought of as deformed versions of the complex plane: locally near every point they look like patches of the complex plane, but the global topology can be quite different. For example, they can look like a sphere or a torus or several sheets glued together. Examples of Riemann surfaces include Graph of a function, graphs of Multivalued function, multivalued functions such as √''z'' or log(''z''), e.g. the subset of pairs with . Every Riemann surface is a Surface (topology), surface: a two-dimensional real manifold, but it contains more structure (specifically a Complex Manifold, complex structure). Conversely, a two-dimensional real manifold can be turned into a Riemann surface (usually in several inequivalent ways) if and only if it is orientable and Metrizabl ...

Friedrich Schottky
Friedrich Hermann Schottky (24 July 1851 – 12 August 1935) was a German mathematician who worked on elliptic, abelian, and theta functions and introduced Schottky groups and Schottky's theorem. Biography Friedrich Hermann Schottky was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wrocław, Poland). His father, Dr. Hermann Friedrich Schottky, was an English teacher and his mother, Louise Winkler, was a florist. He attended from 1860 to 1870, where his classmates included , , and Eberhard Gothein.From 1870 to 1874 he attended the University of Breslau. In 1875 Schottky received his doctorate, studying under Karl Weierstrass and Hermann von Helmholtz at Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin. Schottky was a lecturer at the University of Breslau from 1878 to 1882, a professor at the University of Zurich from 1882 to 1892, and a professor at Philipps University of Marburg from 1892 to 1902. In 1902, through his friendship with Ferdinand Georg Frobenius, Schottky was able to obtain a p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Felix Klein
Felix Christian Klein (; ; 25 April 1849 – 22 June 1925) was a German mathematician and Mathematics education, mathematics educator, known for his work in group theory, complex analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and the associations between geometry and group theory. His 1872 Erlangen program classified geometries by their basic symmetry groups and was an influential synthesis of much of the mathematics of the time. During his tenure at the University of Göttingen, Klein was able to turn it into a center for mathematical and scientific research through the establishment of new lectures, professorships, and institutes. His Felix Klein Protocols, seminars covered most areas of mathematics then known as well as their applications. Klein also devoted considerable time to mathematical instruction and promoted mathematics education reform at all grade levels in Germany and abroad. He became the first president of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction in 1908 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fay's Trisecant Identity
In algebraic geometry, Fay's trisecant identity is an identity between theta functions of Riemann surfaces introduced by . Fay's identity holds for theta functions of Jacobians of curves, but not for theta functions of general abelian varieties In mathematics, particularly in algebraic geometry, complex analysis and algebraic number theory, an abelian variety is a smooth projective algebraic variety that is also an algebraic group, i.e., has a group law that can be defined by regular f .... The name "trisecant identity" refers to the geometric interpretation given by , who used it to show that the Kummer variety of a genus ''g'' Riemann surface, given by the image of the map from the Jacobian to projective space of dimension 2^g-1 induced by theta functions of order 2, has a 4-dimensional space of trisecants.
