In geometry , the isogonal conjugate of a point geometry point P with respect to a triangle ABC is constructed by reflection mathematics reflecting the lines PA , PB , and PC about the angle bisectors of A , B , and C . These three reflected lines concurrent lines concur at the isogonal conjugate of P . This definition applies only to points not on a sideline of triangle ABC . The isogonal conjugate of a point P is sometimes denoted by P . The isogonal conjugate of P is P . The isogonal conjugate of the incentre I is itself. The isogonal conjugate of the orthocentre H is the circumcentre O . The isogonal conjugate of the centroid G is by definition the symmedian symmedian point K . In trilinear coordinates , if X x y z is a point not on a sideline of triangle ABC , then its isogonal conjugate is 1 x 1 y 1 z . For this reason, the isogonal conjugate of X is sometimes denoted by X sup &minus 1 sup . The set S of triangle centers under trilinear product, defined by p q r u v w pu qv rw , is a commutative group, and the inverse of each X in S is X sup &minus 1 sup . As isogonal conjugation is a function, it makes sense to speak of the isogonal conjugate of sets of points, such as lines and circles. For example, the isogonal conjugate of a line is a circumconic and inconic circumconic specifically, an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola according as the line intersects the circumcircle in 0, 1, or 2 points.

In group theory , the conjugate closure of a subset S of a group mathematics group G is the subgroup of G generating set of a group generated by S sup G sup , i.e. the closure of S sup G sup under the group operation, where S sup G sup is the Conjugate group theory conjugates of the elements of S S sup G sup g sup &minus 1 sup sg g &isin G and s &isin S The conjugate closure of S is denoted S sup G sup or S sup G sup . The conjugate closure of any subset S of a group G is always a normal subgroup of G in fact, it is the smallest by inclusion normal subgroup of G which contains S . For this reason, the conjugate closure is also called the normal closure of S or the normal subgroup generated by S . The normal closure can also be characterized as the intersection set theory intersection of all normal subgroups of G which contain S . Any normal subgroup is equal to its normal closure. The conjugate closure of a singleton set singleton subset a of a group G is a normal subgroup generated by a and all elements of G which are conjugate to a . Therefore, any simple group is the conjugate closure of any non identity group element. The conjugate closure of the empty set math varnothing math is the trivial group . Contrast the normal closure of S with the normalizer of S , which is for S a group the largest subgroup of G in which S itself is normal. This need not be normal in the larger group G , just as S need not be normal in its conjugate normal closure. References cite book title Handbook of Computational Group Theory author Derek F.

In geometry , two diameter s of a conic section are said to be conjugate if each chord geometry chord parallel geometry parallel to one diameter is bisection bisected by the other diameter. For example, two diameters of a circle are conjugate if and only if they are perpendicular . For an ellipse , two diameters are conjugate if and only if the tangent line to the ellipse at one endpoint of a diameter is parallel to the tangent at the second endpoint. Each pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse has a corresponding tangent parallelogram , sometimes called the bounding parallelogram .

Unreferenced date December 2009 In differential geometry , conjugate points are, roughly, points that can almost be joined by a 1 parameter family of geodesic s. For example, on a Spherical geometry sphere , the north pole and south pole are connected by any Meridian geography meridian . Definition Suppose p and q are points on a Riemannian manifold , and math gamma math is a geodesic that connects p and q . Then p and q are conjugate points along math gamma math if there exists a non zero Jacobi field along math gamma math that vanishes at p and q . Recall that any Jacobi field can be written as the derivative of a geodesic variation see the article on Jacobi field s . Therefore, if p and q are conjugate along math gamma math , one can construct a family of geodesics which start at p and almost end at q . In particular, if math gamma s t math is the family of geodesics whose derivative in s at math s 0 math generates the Jacobi field J , then the end point of the variation, namely math gamma s 1 math , is the point q only up to first order in s . Therefore, if two points are conjugate, it is not necessary that there exist two distinct geodesics joining them. Examples On the sphere math S 2 math , antipodal points are conjugate. On math mathbb R n math , there are no conjugate points. On Riemannian manifolds with non positive sectional curvature , there are no conjugate points.

In geometry , the isotomic conjugate of a point P not on a sideline of triangle ABC is constructed as follows Let A nowiki nowiki , B nowiki nowiki , C nowiki nowiki be the points in which the lines AP , BP , CP meet the lines BC , CA , AB , respectively. Reflect A nowiki nowiki B nowiki nowiki C nowiki nowiki in the midpoints of sides BC , CA , AB to obtain points A , B , C , respectively. The lines AA , BB , CC meet at a point this can be proved using Ceva s theorem , and this point is called the isotomic conjugate of P . If Trilinear coordinates trilinears for P are p q r , then trilinears for the isotomic conjugate of P are a sup &minus 2 sup p sup &minus 1 sup b sup &minus 2 sup q sup &minus 1 sup c sup &minus 2 sup r sup &minus 1 sup . The isotomic conjugate of the centroid of triangle ABC is the centroid itself. Isotomic conjugates of lines are circumconics, and conversely, isotomic conjugates of circumconics are lines.

A conjugate vaccine is created by covalently attaching a poor polysaccharide organism antigen to a carrier protein preferably from the same microorganism , thereby conferring the immunological attributes of the carrier on the attached antigen. This technique for the creation of an effective immunogen is most often applied to bacterial polysaccharide polysaccharides for the prevention of invasive bacterial disease. The immune response further immune system for a general discussion. This article describes aspects needed to understand conjugate vaccines. During immune recognition of foreign molecules, the external environment is sampled by naive B cells and dendritic cells which have surface receptors that internalize proteins leading to proteolytic digestion. Some of the resulting peptide fragments T cell epitopes are reexpressed on the cell surface in association with MHC Class II MHC II molecules . This loaded MHC II may be recognized by complementary T cell s that are then stimulated to release cytokine s. The cytokines stimulate the pre B cell to do a number of different things. The cell will mature to an antibody secreting B cell, replicate itself to an enormous extent, follow a maturation pathway that results in improvement of the antibody structure and production of long lived memory B cells. Maturation is responsible for two hallmarks of the immune response the production of high affinity antibodies and the creation of memory of prior exposure anamnestic response . Because the immune response is aided by T cells, proteins are T dependent antigens . Fact date February 2007 If the foreign molecule is not a protein, then proteolyic digestion can not occur and the T dependent pathway described above does not operate. An antigen specific antibody response can still occur if the antigen has a repetitive structure i.e. polysaccharide or is arranged in a repetitive manner i.e. proteins arranged on a viral capsid leading these to be called T independent antigens.

The duality relations lead naturally to an uncertainty in physics called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle relation between them. In mathematical terms, conjugate variables are part of a symplectic basis, and the uncertainty principle corresponds to the symplectic form . Examples There are many types of conjugate variables, depending on the type of work a certain system is doing or is being subjected to .
