nullification has. The theory of nullification is based on a view that the states formed the Union by an agreement (or "compact") among the states, and...

properties of compact operators. The reader will see that most statements transfer verbatim from the matrix case. The spectral theory of compact operators...

Alexander Grothendieck and Stefan Banach. The origin of the theory of compact operators is in the theory of integral equations, where integral operators supply...

In the mathematical area of order theory, the compact elements or finite elements of a partially ordered set are those elements that cannot be subsumed...

he had written what is probably the most thorough exegesis of the compact theory of the United States Constitution in existence, devoting the first fifteen...

class of similar theories. The Yang–Mills theory is a gauge theory based on a special unitary group SU(n), or more generally any compact Lie group. A Yang–Mills...

The compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format co-developed by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings. It employs...

Inaugural can be seen most directly by comparing their arguments for why compact theory does not justify secession, and the language in their penultimate paragraphs:...

locally compact setting, such techniques need not hold. The resulting theory is a central part of harmonic analysis. The representation theory for locally...

In astronomy, the term compact object (or compact star) refers collectively to white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. It could also include exotic...

use of decision theory (the theory of rational choice) as a set of guidelines to help understand economic and social behavior. The theory tries to approximate...

suitable for sheaf theory, was defined by Henri Cartan. In extending Poincaré duality to manifolds that are not compact, the 'compact support' idea enters...

named after Lev Pontryagin who laid down the foundations for the theory of locally compact abelian groups and their duality during his early mathematical...

developed first by considering the compact groups, to which results of compact representation theory apply. This theory can be extended to finite-dimensional...

compact. Every subset of a compact topological space is relatively compact (since a closed subset of a compact space is compact). And in an arbitrary topological...

In moral and political philosophy, the social contract is an idea, theory, or model that usually, although not always, concerns the legitimacy of the authority...

mathematics, the compact-open topology is a topology defined on the set of continuous maps between two topological spaces. The compact-open topology is...

size of the compact dimension goes to zero, no fields depend on this extra dimension, and the theory is dimensionally reduced. In string theory, compactification...

In set theory, a strongly compact cardinal is a certain kind of large cardinal. An uncountable cardinal κ is strongly compact if and only if every κ-complete...
