Usage in scientific papers

By Faltings’s theorem on homomorphisms of abelian varieties over number fields, and because we suppose that all endomorphisms of A are defined over k , we ∼= HomlA (VℓB , VℓA) By Lemma 2.13 we have have a canonical isomorphism Homk (B , A) ⊗ Qℓ a canonical isomorphism H 1 (LM , VℓA) ∼= HomLA (LM A , VℓA).

Minimal functions on the random graph

Since e preserves N , it is easy to see that if e is canonical on a 2-constant graph which is sufficiently large, then e must be injective; for example, if e is canonical on a graph which contains the three-element graph with two edges, then e cannot collapse any edges of that graph.
