Liouville's theorem (conformal mappings)
In mathematics, Liouville's theorem, proved by Joseph Liouville in 1850, is a rigidity theorem about conformal mappings in Euclidean space. It states that any smooth conformal mapping on a domain of Rn, where n > 2, can be expressed as a composition of translations, similarities, orthogonal transformations and inversions: they are Möbius transformations (in n dimensions). This theorem severely limits the variety of possible conformal mappings in R3 and higher-dimensional spaces.
Métrique de Cayley-Klein
En mathématiques, une métrique de Cayley-Klein est une métrique définie sur le complémentaire d'une quadrique fixée d'un espace projectif, la quadrique absolue, à l'aide du birapport. Cette métrique a été construite par Arthur Cayley en 1859 ; la construction fut complétée par Felix Klein entre 1871 et 1873. Les métriques de Cayley-Klein fournissent un cadre unifié aux différentes géométries euclidiennes et non euclidiennes, en y définissant la notion de distance par la même construction dans tous les cas.
Infinite compositions of analytic functions
In mathematics, infinite compositions of analytic functions (ICAF) offer alternative formulations of analytic continued fractions, series, products and other infinite expansions, and the theory evolving from such compositions may shed light on the convergence/divergence of these expansions. Some functions can actually be expanded directly as infinite compositions. In addition, it is possible to use ICAF to evaluate solutions of fixed point equations involving infinite expansions.
Projectively extended real line
In real analysis, the projectively extended real line (also called the one-point compactification of the real line), is the extension of the set of the real numbers, , by a point denoted ∞. It is thus the set with the standard arithmetic operations extended where possible, and is sometimes denoted by or The added point is called the point at infinity, because it is considered as a neighbour of both ends of the real line. More precisely, the point at infinity is the limit of every sequence of real numbers whose absolute values are increasing and unbounded.
Möbius plane
In mathematics, the classical Möbius plane (named after August Ferdinand Möbius) is the Euclidean plane supplemented by a single point at infinity. It is also called the inversive plane because it is closed under inversion with respect to any generalized circle, and thus a natural setting for planar inversive geometry. An inversion of the Möbius plane with respect to any circle is an involution which fixes the points on the circle and exchanges the points in the interior and exterior, the center of the circle exchanged with the point at infinity.
Conformal group
In mathematics, the conformal group of an inner product space is the group of transformations from the space to itself that preserve angles. More formally, it is the group of transformations that preserve the conformal geometry of the space. Several specific conformal groups are particularly important: The conformal orthogonal group. If V is a vector space with a quadratic form Q, then the conformal orthogonal group CO(V, Q) is the group of linear transformations T of V for which there exists a scalar λ such that for all x in V For a definite quadratic form, the conformal orthogonal group is equal to the orthogonal group times the group of dilations.
Métrique de Poincaré
En mathématiques, et plus précisément en géométrie différentielle, la métrique de Poincaré, due à Henri Poincaré, est le tenseur métrique décrivant une surface de courbure négative constante. C'est la métrique naturelle utilisée pour des calculs en géométrie hyperbolique ou sur des surfaces de Riemann.
