| | The Cayley-Hamilton Theorem says that a square matrix $LATEX A$ satisfies its characteristic equation, that is $latex p(A) = 0$ where $latex p(t) = \det(tI-A)$ is the characteristic polynomial. This statement is not simply the substitution ``$latex p(A) = \det(A - A) = 0$'', which is not valid since $latex t$ must remain a scalar...

| | In this post we'll describe the representation theory of theadditive group scheme$latex \mathbb{G}_a$ over a field $latex k$. The answer turns out to depend dramatically on whether or not $latex k$ has characteristic zero. Preliminaries over an arbitrary ring (All rings and algebras are commutative unless otherwise stated.) The additive group scheme $latex \mathbb{G}_a$ over...

| | Consider a monic polynomial with integer coefficients: $latex p(x)=x^d + a_1 x^{d-1} + \cdots + a_{d-1}x + a_d$, $latex a_j \in \mathbb{Z}$.The complex roots of such polynomials are called algebraic integers. For example, integers and the roots of integers are algebraic integers. Note that the Galois conjugates of an algebraic integer are also algebraic integers....

| When you read BRDF theory papers, you'll often see mention of slope space. Sometimes, components of the BRDF such as NDFs or masking-shadowing functions are defined in slope space, or operations are done in slope space before being converted back to ordinary vectors or polar coordinates. However, the meaning and intuition of slope space is rarely explained. Since it may not be obvious exactly what slope space is, why it is useful, or how to transform things to and from it, I thought I would write down a ...
