In mathematics , birational geometry is a part of the subject of algebraic geometry , that deals with the geometry of an algebraic variety that is dependent only on its Function field of an algebraic variety function field . In the case of dimension two, the birational geometry of algebraic surfaces was largely worked out by the Italian school of algebraic geometry in the years 1890&ndash 1910. From about 1970 advances have been made in higher dimensions, giving a good theory of birational geometry for dimension three. Birational geometry is largely a geometry of transformations, but it doesn t fit exactly with the Erlangen programme . One reason is that its nature is to deal with transformations that are only defined on an open, dense subset of an algebraic variety. Such transformations, given by rational function s in the co ordinates, can be undefined not just at isolated points on curves, but on entire curves on a surface, and so on. Birational mapping A birational mapping between irreducible varieties V and W is a morphism such that its restriction to an open subset U of V is an isomorphism. One of the first results in the subject is the birational isomorphism of the projective plane , and a non singular quadric Q in projective 3 space. Already in this example whole sets have ill defined mappings taking a point P on Q as origin, we can use lines through P , intersecting Q at one other point, to project to a plane &mdash but this definition breaks down with all lines tangent to Q at P , which in a certain sense blow up P into the intersection of the tangent plane with the plane to which we project.

Image Tile 4,4.svg thumb Square tiling four square geometry square faces per vertex Image hexahedron.png thumb Cube three square geometry square faces per vertex In geometry , a face of a polyhedron is any of the polygons that make up its boundaries. For example, any of the square geometry square s that bound a cube is a face of the cube. The suffix hedron is derived from the Greek word hedra which means face . Sometimes, in the case of a pyramid , the term face is understood to exclude the base. The two dimensional polygons that bound higher dimensional polytopes are also commonly called faces . Formally, however, a face is any of the lower dimensional boundaries of the polytope, more specifically called an n face . Formal definition In convex geometry , a face of a polytope P is the intersection of any supporting hyperplane of P and P . From this definition it follows that the set of faces of a polytope includes the polytope itself and the empty set. For example, a polyhedron R sup 3 sup is entirely on one hyperplane of R sup 4 b . If R sup 4 sup were spacetime, the hyperplane at nowrap t 0 supports and contains the entire polyhedron. Thus, by the formal definition, the polyhedron is a face of itself. All of the following are the n faces of a 4 polytope 4 dimensional polytope 4 face the 4 dimensional 4 polytope itself 3 face any 3 dimensional cell geometry cell 2 face any 2 dimensional polygonal face using the common definition of face 1 face any 1 dimensional edge geometry edge 0 face any 0 dimensional vertex geometry vertex the empty set. Facets If the polytope lies in n dimensions, a face in the n 1 dimension is called a Facet mathematics facet . For example, a cell of a polychoron is a facet, a face of a polyhedron is a facet, an edge of a polygon is a facet, etc. A face in the n 2 dimension is called a Ridge geometry ridge .

A tesseract is also made of cubic cells, but only has 3 cubes on each edge. In polychoron names Regular convex polychora are sometimes named by how many cells they contain, just like n gon and n hedron are used as a shorthand for polygon al and Polyhedron polyhedral names.

Ruppeiner geometry is thermodynamic geometry a type of information geometry using the language of Riemannian geometry to study thermodynamics . George Ruppeiner proposed it in 1979. He claimed that thermodynamic system s can be represented by Riemannian geometry, and that statistical properties can be derived from the model. This geometrical model is based on the inclusion of the theory of fluctuations into the axioms of equilibrium thermodynamics , namely there exist equilibrium states which can be represented by points on two dimensional surface manifold and the distance between these equilibrium states is related to the fluctuation between them. This concept is associated to probabilities, i.e. the less probable a fluctuation between states, the further apart they are. This can be recognized if one considers the metric tensor g sub ij sub in the distance formula line element between the two equilibrium states math ds 2 g R ij dx i dx j, , math where the matrix of coefficients g sub ij sub is the symmetric metric tensor which is called a Ruppeiner metric , defined as a negative Hessian of the entropy function math g R ij partial i partial j S M, N a math where M is the mass internal ... the Ruppeiner geometry is one particular type of information geometry and it is similar to the Fisher ... of thermodynamics in differential forms with a few manipulations.

In statistics and computational geometry , the notion of centerpoint is a generalization of the median to data in higher dimensional Euclidean space . Given a set of points in d dimensional space, a centerpoint of the set is a point such that any hyperplane that goes through that point divides the set of points in two roughly equal subsets the smaller part should have at least a 1 d 1 fraction of the points. Like the median, a centerpoint need not be one of the data points. Any non empty set of points with no duplicates has at least one centerpoint. Closely related concepts are the Tukey depth of a point the minimum number of sample points on one side of a hyperplane through the point and a Tukey median of a point set a point maximizing the Tukey depth . A centerpoint is a point of depth at least n d 1 , and a Tukey median must be a centerpoint, but not every centerpoint is a Tukey median. Both terms are named after John Tukey . For another generalization of the median to higher dimensions, see geometric median .
