Questions tagged [hyperspace]

For questions related to hyperspace (an $n$-dimensional Euclidian space with $n > 3$).

In mathematics, hyperspace is a space having dimension $n>3$, that is, an $n$-dimensional Euclidian space with $n > 3$.

Sometimes, also referred to as a Euclidian space of unspecified dimension.

Topology on the set of all separable Hausdorff topological spaces

It is well-known (1, 2) that the cardinality of a separable Hausdorff topological space is at most $2^{2^{\aleph_0}}$. Therefore, the collection $\mathcal{A}$ of all (homeomorphism classes of) separable Hausdorff topological spaces is a set. Can the…

Prove total edge length of section is constant? A cross-polytope cut by a hyperplane parallel to a face.

The vertices of a cross-polytope can be chosen as the unit vectors pointing along each co-ordinate axis – i.e. all the permutations of $(±1, 0, 0,\dots, 0)$. The cross-polytope is the convex hull of its vertices. Consider the section of a…

Can impossible cube be embedded isometrically into a curved three-dimensional space?

From the answer https://math.stackexchange.com/a/3743490/ it is possible to embed isometrically (bent but not stretched) Penrose triangle into curved three dimensional space, something called "nil geometry". I wonder if the impossible cube also can…

Construct perspective projection of rotating tesseract by perpendicular lines intersecting ellipse

The contruction was used in two different sources on the web: a Geogebra resource and a video using inRm3D so I think it must be documented and proved somewhere, but I didn't find any. Here is the construction (following the second source): On the…

The rotation of a solid object in 3D can be described by a single 3D vector. Is the same true for higher dimensions?

If a solid ball (like the Earth) is rotating in 3D space, you can point a single 3D vector out of the North Pole (according to the right hand rule), with the length of that vector proportional to the speed of rotation, and that single vector…

Singular values of uniform random points on hypersphere?

This question is motivated by a self-supervised learning problem in machine learning, but I'll try to strip out as many unnecessary details as possible. In this setting, we have large datasets and we constrain our deep neural network's outputs to…

Proving $Z_r\cap iZ_r$ a complex hyperspace

Let $X$ be a linear space over $\mathbf{C}$. If $Z_r$ is a real hyperspace in $X$, then $Z_r\cap iZ_r$ is a complex hyperspace in $X$. I know, we have to use the fact: $Ref$ determines $f$ as follows: $$f(x)=Ref(x)-iRef(ix).$$ But I want rigorous…

ODE and SDE on Spheres $S^{n-1}$

I'm looking for comprehensive references (books or papers) that cover the theory and applications of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) on $S^{n-1}$ spheres. Additionally, could anyone provide a brief…

Maximum number of points on the surface of an n-dimensional sphere such that distance between any two points is larger than the radius of the sphere.

1000 alien spaceships meet in a 4-dimensional battlefield. At an agreed time (ignoring relativistic effects on their clocks) every spaceship fires its laser to the spaceship which is closest (assume that all distances between the spaceships are…

Integrating a function over the surface of a unit hypersphere

Suppose I have a function $f(\mathbf{x})$ across the surface of the unit hypersphere, where $\mathbf{x}=(x_1,...,x_d)'$ are the hyperspherical coordinates of a point on the surface of the unit hypersphere. I want to integrate this function over the…

projections from a plane in $\mathbb{R}^6$ onto three orthogonal planes

Let $\Pi_1=\operatorname{span}\{e_1,e_2\},\Pi_2=\operatorname{span}\{e_3,e_4\},\Pi_3=\operatorname{span}\{e_5,e_6\}$ be orthogonal 2D planes in $\mathbb{R}^6$. Let $U$ be arbitrary 2D plane in $\mathbb{R}^6$. Let $P_i:U\to\Pi_i\;(i=1,2,3)$ be the…

Book about explanation of 4th dimension using analogy with 2d object interacting with 3d

I'm searching for a book about the explanation of 4th and higher dimensions using an analogy with 2d space creatures (flatland) with 3d dimension (as humans). I need to to add and update Polish Wikipedia article "Płaszczak" which is a creature that…

Nuclear norm of matrix comprised of points sampled uniformly at random from the hypersphere?

In a subfield of machine learning called "self-supervised learning", many methods constrain network representations to lie on the hypersphere. I want to understand how such representations relate to matrix norms. Suppose I sample $N$ points $x_1,…

Two 4-d hyperspheres intersect in a sphere

One hypersphere at $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 = 1$ intersects another hypersphere at $(x - 1)^2 + y^2 + z^2 + w^2 = 1$. (EDIT to address comments) The intersection results in a (3-d) sphere with radius $ \frac{\sqrt 3}{2}$ contained within the…
