Geometric invariant theory — In mathematics Geometric invariant theory (or GIT) is a method for constructing quotients by group actions in algebraic geometry, used to construct moduli spaces. It was developed by David Mumford in 1965, using ideas from the paper… … Wikipedia
Adiabatic invariant — An adiabatic invariant is a property of a physical system which stays constant when changes are made slowly.In thermodynamics, an adiabatic process is a change that occurs without heat flow and slowly compared to the time to reach equilibrium. In … Wikipedia
J-invariant — nome q on the unit diskIn mathematics, Klein s j invariant, regarded as a function of a complex variable tau;, is a modular function defined on the upper half plane of complex numbers. We can express it in terms of Jacobi s theta functions, in… … Wikipedia
Casimir invariant — In mathematics, a Casimir invariant or Casimir operator is a distinguished element of the centre of the universal enveloping algebra of a Lie algebra. A prototypical example is the squared angular momentum operator, which is a Casimir invariant… … Wikipedia
Normal invariant — In mathematics, a normal map is a concept in geometric topology due to William Browder which is of fundamental importance in surgery theory. Given a Poincaré complex X, a normal map on X endows the space, roughly speaking, with some of the… … Wikipedia

SO(4) — In mathematics, SO(4) is the four dimensional rotation group; that is, the group of rotations about a fixed point in four dimensional Euclidean space. The name comes from the fact that it is (isomorphic to) the special orthogonal group of order 4 … Wikipedia
Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… … Wikipedia
