unusual facts about Weyl–Schouten theorem


Weyl–Schouten theorem

The Weyl–Schouten theorem in mathematics says that a Riemannian manifold of dimension n with n ≥ 3 is conformally flat if and only if the Schouten tensor is a Codazzi tensor for n = 3, or the Weyl tensor vanishes for n > 3.


David Hilbert

Fritz Joachim Weyl

Another famous professor in the GW math department with Weyl in 1946 was Florence Marie Mears, who taught at GW from 1929 to 1955.

George Barker Jeffery

In 1923, with W. Perrett, he published what has become the definitive English translation of the seminal papers on relativity by Einstein, Lorenz, Weyl and Minkowski.

Kontsevich quantization formula

For the archetypal example, one may well consider Groenewold's original ★"Moyal–Weyl" -product.

Plancherel theorem for spherical functions

hyperbolic space, these expansions were known from prior results of Mehler, Weyl and Fock.

Samuel H. Kauffmann

During his tenure he became a patron of painter Max Weyl, supporting the painters career and helping to bring Weyl's work to the forefront of Washington's art community.

Wilhelm Killing

As A. J. Coleman says, "He exhibited the characteristic equation of the Weyl group when Weyl was 3 years old and listed the orders of the Coxeter transformation 19 years before Coxeter was born."
