Ordered symbols are notations which are (likely) to appear as they are given here, for example C([a,b],R) denotes the continuous function on the interval [a,b] that map to R - this is unlikely to be given any other way because "C" is for continuous.

Markings

To make editing easier (and allow it to be done in stages) a mark column has been added

Marking Meaning
TANGENT Tangent space overhall is being done, it marks the "legacy" things that need to be removed - but only after what they link to has been updated and whatnot
TANGENT_NEW New tangent space markings that are consistent with the updates

Ordered symbols

These are ordered by symbols, and then by LaTeX names secondly, for example A comes before A comes before A

Expression Context Details Mark
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
Denotes the Norm of a vector
fCk
  • Functional Analysis
This Norm is defined by fCk=ki=0supt[0,1](|f(i)(t)|) - note f(i) is the ith derivative.
fLp
  • Functional Analysis
fLp=(10|f(t)|pdt)1p - it is a Norm on C([0,1],R)
f
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is a norm on C([a,b],R), given by f=supx[a,b](|f(x)|)
C
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
That a function has continuous (partial) derivatives of all orders, it is a generalisation of Ck functions

See also Smooth function and the symbols C(Rn) and C(M) where M is a Smooth manifold

C(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The set of all Smooth functions on Rn - see Smooth function, it means f:RnR is Smooth in the usual sense - all partial derivatives of all orders are continuous. TANGENT_NEW
C(M)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The set of all Smooth functions on the Smooth manifold M - see Smooth function, it means f:MR is smooth in the sense defined on Smooth function TANGENT_NEW
Ck [at p]
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
A function is said to be Ck [at p] if all (partial) derivatives of all orders exist and are continuous [at p]
Cp
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Cp(A) denotes the set of all germs of C functions on A at p

The set of all germs of smooth functions at a point

Ck([a,b],R)
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is the set of all functions :[a,b]R that are continuous and have continuous derivatives up to (and including) order k

The unit interval will be assumed when missing

Da(A)
Common: Da(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Denotes Set of all derivations at a point - Not to be confused with Set of all derivations of a germ which is denoted Dp(A)

Note: This is my/Alec's notation for it, as the author[1] uses Tp(A) - which looks like Tangent space - the letter T is too misleading to allow this, and a lot of other books use T for Tangent space

TANGENT
Da(A)
Common: Da(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
Denotes Set of all derivations of a germ - Not to be confused with Set of all derivations at a point which is sometimes denoted Tp(A) TANGENT
iAi
  • Measure Theory
Makes it explicit that the items in the union (the Ai) are pairwise disjoint, that is for any two their intersection is empty
Gp(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The geometric tangent space - see Geometric Tangent Space TANGENT_NEW
p(F)
  • Functional Analysis
The set of all bounded sequences, that is p(F)={(x1,x2,...)|xiF, i=1|xi|p<}
Lp
  • Measure Theory
Lp(μ)={u:XR|uM, |u|pdμ<}, p[1,)R

(X,A,μ) is a measure space. The class of all measurable functions for which |f|p is integrable

Lp
  • Measure Theory
Same as Lp
Sn
  • Real Analysis
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
  • Topology
SnRn+1 and is the n-sphere, examples:

S1 is a circle, S2 is a sphere, S0 is simply two points.

Tp(A)
Common:Tp(Rn)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The tangent space at a point a

Sometimes denoted Rna - Note: sometimes can mean Set of all derivations at a point which is denoted Da(Rn) and not to be confused with Da(Rn) which denotes Set of all derivations of a germ

A/B-measurable
  • Measure Theory
There exists a Measurable map between the σ-algebras

  • Anything with vectors
