\newcommand{\bigudot}{ \mathchoice{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-15mu\cdot\mkern8mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}}{\mathop{\bigcup\mkern-13mu\cdot\mkern5mu}} }\newcommand{\udot}{\cup\mkern-12.5mu\cdot\mkern6.25mu\!}\require{AMScd}\newcommand{\d}[1][]{\mathrm{d}^{#1} }Ordered symbols are notations which are (likely) to appear as they are given here, for example C([a,b],\mathbb{R}) denotes the continuous function on the interval [a,b] that map to \mathbb{R} - this is unlikely to be given any other way because "C" is for continuous.

Ordered symbols

These are ordered by symbols, and then by LaTeX names secondly, for example A comes before \mathbb{A} comes before \mathcal{A}

Expression Context Details
\|\cdot\|
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
Denotes the Norm of a vector
\|f\|_{C^k}
  • Functional Analysis
This Norm is defined by \|f\|_{C^k}=\sum^k_{i=0}\sup_{t\in[0,1]}(|f^{(i)}(t)|) - note f^{(i)} is the i^\text{th} derivative.
\|f\|_{L^p}
  • Functional Analysis
\|f\|_{L^p}=\left(\int^1_0|f(t)|^pdt\right)^\frac{1}{p} - it is a Norm on \mathcal{C}([0,1],\mathbb{R})
\|f\|_\infty
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is a norm on C([a,b],\mathbb{R}), given by \|f\|_\infty=\sup_{x\in[a,b]}(|f(x)|)
C^\infty
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
That a function has continuous (partial) derivatives of all orders, it is a generalisation of C^k functions
C^k [at p]
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
A function is said to be C^k [at p] if all (partial) derivatives of all orders exist and are continuous [at p]
C^\infty_p
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
C^\infty_p(A) denotes the set of all germs of C^\infty functions on A at p

The set of all germs of smooth functions at a point

C^k([a,b],\mathbb{R})
  • Functional Analysis
  • Real Analysis
It is the set of all functions :[a,b]\rightarrow\mathbb{R} that are continuous and have continuous derivatives up to (and including) order k

The unit interval will be assumed when missing

D_a(A)
Common: D_a(\mathbb{R}^n)
  • 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 \mathcal{D}_p(A)

Note: This is my/Alec's notation for it, as the author[1] uses T_p(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

\mathcal{D}_a(A)
Common: \mathcal{D}_a(\mathbb{R}^n)
  • 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 T_p(A)
\bigudot_i A_i
  • Measure Theory
Makes it explicit that the items in the union (the A_i) are pairwise disjoint, that is for any two their intersection is empty
\ell^p(\mathbb{F})
  • Functional Analysis
The set of all bounded sequences, that is \ell^p(\mathbb{F})=\{(x_1,x_2,...)|x_i\in\mathbb{F},\ \sum^\infty_{i=1}|x_i|^p<\infty\}
\mathcal{L}^p
  • Measure Theory
\mathcal{L}^p(\mu)=\{u:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}|u\in\mathcal{M},\ \int|u|^pd\mu<\infty\},\ p\in[1,\infty)\subset\mathbb{R}

(X,\mathcal{A},\mu) is a measure space. The class of all measurable functions for which |f|^p is integrable

L^p
  • Measure Theory
Same as \mathcal{L}^p
T_p(A)
Common:T_p(\mathbb{R}^n)
  • Differential Geometry
  • Manifolds
The tangent space at a point a

Sometimes denoted \mathbb{R}^n_a - Note: sometimes can mean Set of all derivations at a point which is denoted D_a(\mathbb{R}^n) and not to be confused with \mathcal{D}_a(\mathbb{R}^n) which denotes Set of all derivations of germs

Unordered symbols

Expression Context Details
\mathcal{A}/\mathcal{B}-measurable
  • Measure Theory
There exists a Measurable map between the \sigma-algebras
a\cdot b
  • Anything with vectors
Vector dot product
