Example sentences

1

Inside P the pattern is periodic, and in P' the pattern is comprised of units, each of which is periodic under some isometry.

2

To be precise, the mean curvature and metric are the same but the immersions are different (they're not related by an isometry of the ambient space).

3

By definition, a rotation about the origin is a transformation that preserves the origin, Euclidean distance (so it is an isometry), and orientation (i.e., handedness of space).

4

Are there measures in ZF+DC of R^3 that are finitely (countably?) additive and isometry invariant?

5

Additionally, every elliptic isometry is a projective symmetry, while the other way round isn't true.

6

As a side issue, B-T is proof that there isn't a finitely additive, isometry-invariant measure on R^3 that's defined for all subsets.

7

Is there a known set theory of the form ZF+(something) which relatively consistent with ZFC in which additive, isometry invariant measures exist?

8

In other works, they have two immersions from the torus to R^3, whose induced metric and mean curvature are the same, and whose images are not related by an isometry of R^3.

9

For what it's worth, as of Terraform 1.8, you can also use functions from third-party providers like isometry/deepmerge [2] to perform a deep merge.

10

They don't appear to care about the images of the immersions or their complements, aside from them not being related by an isometry of R^3.

11

Specifically, networks train well when their input-output Jacobians exhibit dynamical isometry, namely the property that the entire distribution of singular values is close to 1.

12

* Measures 1 on the unit object; * Countably additive; * Isometry invariant; * Defined on all sets.

Quote examples

1

Actual isometry would require some 1:1 "stairs" on these lines, making them look less nice.

2

For example see “dynamical isometry” [1] and the evolution of those ideas which were instrumental in achieving convergence in very deep transformer models [2].

3

Because it expands past my normal reading FOV I keep seeing it as "I Some Try" instead of "Isometry".

4

"Movement" is undefined, it has to be an isometry.
