  Fundamental domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In geometry, the fundamental domain of a symmetry group of an object or pattern is a part of the pattern, as small as possible, which, based on the symmetry, determines the whole object or pattern.
For example, for wallpaper groups the fundamental domain is a factor 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, or 12 smaller than the primitive cell.
In practice the main use of a fundamental domain may be to compute integrals on G/Γ, in which case the set of measure zero is mentioned only to keep straight the pedantic assertion that D is exactly a set of coset representatives, and may quickly be forgotten.

Further, the ITAR itself states that information in the public domain is not subject to disclosure restrictions and access controls,[12] a position recently reiterated by the State Department[13] and also found in case law.
As a result, universities operating in the public domain and carrying out unclassified spacebased research in various disciplines (environmental studies, bio-molecular research, particle and astrophysics, cosmology) may find they are not allowed to involve foreign students, faculty, and collaborators unless they first obtain an export license[15] from the State Department.
The ambiguous treatment of fundamental research creates quite a quandary for those involved in university-based unclassified aeronautics and astronautics programs, as well as in courses in the fields of electrical engineering, computing, optics, and mechanical engineering, which deal with principles and applications that are not classified or secret.

The sacred domain is the place where the truly human (and humanizing) culture of ecstasy is truly practiced, in the truest sense, assisted by cooperative association between people.
In the secular domain (or daily ordinary world) of survival-business, the required mode of the person can be said to be a kind of "uniform", a means of conforming to convention for the sake of handling all the ordinary business of human existence.
The secular (or public) domain must not become absolutized as the sole domain that is "permissible" in human existence, such that people cannot find a way to be anchored in the sacred domain, cannot find a way to make the sacred domain the focus and the anchor of life.

Starting anywhere on the torus (corresponding to a point in the fundamental domain), moving the point around one complete anti-clockwise annular ring is equivalent to making a translation of 1 in the fundamental domain.

Phillips showed that when the generator is either a hyperbolic or an unipotent parabolic map the Dirichlet domain has precisely two faces for all choices of base point.
Parker showed that if the generator is an ellipto-parabolic map, then the Dirichlet domain has either two faces or infinitely many faces, if respectively, the base point lies or doesn’t lie on the axis of this generator.
We also show that the isometric spheres that do not contain any face of the Ford domain arise when the rotacional part of g is of finite order and are precisely the powers of the unipotent element gn.

 Wave Propagation in Viscoelastic and Poroelastic Continua   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Focused on the first advantage, this boundary element method makes it possible to establish time domain boundary element formulations in cases which traditionally are solved in Laplace domain with a subsequent inverse transformation.
Further, as the complexity of the Laplace domain fundamental solution is mostly less than the corresponding time domain solution, a BE formulation using the convolution quadrature is always advantageous.
Summarizing, the proposed boundary element formulation based on the convolution quadrature method combines the advantage of the Laplace domain, i.e., the derivation of a fundamental solution is mostly simpler as in time domain, with the advantage of a time domain calculation, i.e., transient boundary conditions can only be modeled in time domain.

It is a fundamental domain of the square lattice, in the sense that every point of the plane has a representative within the red region, where point and representative are related by a unique lattice translation.
In geometrical terms, one says the fundamental domain tiles the plane, that is, translates (by the square lattice) cover the plane without overlaps.
One of the geometrically simplest fundamental domains is the Voronoi domain, defined to be the set of points of the plane for which the origin is the closest lattice point.

As more private-sector funding goes toward “upstream” (more fundamental) science, and the distinctions blur, the challenge we face is not to decry this situation any further but to try to work out accommodations that promote science.
Fundamentally, this requires the parties involved defining a work plan, benchmarks and milestones, and the terms of a mutually acceptable contract.
The amount of their investment is large (and may in certain areas exceed that of the public sector) and the quality of the resulting discoveries is very high.

Wisdom is consolidated knowledge with a relationship to an end state, or to a goal; for example, a fundamental principle applicable over a knowledge domain has a goal to describe the properties of something throughout that knowledge domain.
Wisdom arises only when a knowledge domain is defined, and the knowledge is consolidated over that domain into fundamental principles, meta-knowledge, with respect to a goal.
The higher-level domain remains hypothetical until it is build from the data, information, and knowledge chuncks a-priori, without prejudice.

That fundamental human impulse is the domain of sacred culture.
Otherwise, it does not happen—and, in that case, the secular domain becomes a kind of self-contained culture, a culture in and of itself, fulfilling (to a greater or lesser degree) only the civic aspects of human existence, the more mundane aspects of human life.
But, in the sacred domain, it is not that the human being is, by comparison, undressed or naked, or just sort of "there" (in an un-patterned, or un-"uniformed" manner).

A Fundamental domain for a congruence subgroup is a region in the upper half plane which tells you about the quotient of the upper half plane by that group.
If you take all the translates of a fundamental domain under the action of its congruence subgroup you get a tessellation of the upper half plane, similar to the pictures Escher drew on the disk.
The talk will be illustrated with pictures of many fundamental domains, drawn using the Magma computer algebra package.

The overall purpose of these games is for the students to famliarize themselves with the fundamental domains of various surfaces.
The fundamental domain of a surface contains all the information about a surface that an inhabitant of that surface would have access to.
Thus, the fundamental domain really does contain the fundamental (topological) properties of the surface, and to understand the fundamental domain is to understand the essence of the surface.

When working with a particular congruence subgroup it is often useful to be able to produce a picture of a fundamental domain of the group.
A simple question is to find what is the fundamental domain, and to give a list of inequivalent elliptic points of the group, and display this information graphically.
Sometimes using the Fundamental domain function can produce results in a more reliable way, as in the following example, which produces a similar picture to the above, and a latex file can be written in the same way.

 AAU/COGR Letter on ITAR Clarifications
The amendment concerns defense articles fabricated only for fundamental research purposes covered by Category XV (a) or (e) and the provision of defense services and related unclassified technical data for the assembly and integration of such articles into a scientific, research or experimental satellite.
Section 125.4(d)(i) allows the export of defense services (including training) to nationals of specified countries "when engaged in international fundamental research conducted under the aegis of an accredited U.S. institution of higher learning." This language suggests that the U.S. university must be the lead university on all research projects involving the spacecraft and satellite exemption.
This is a critical correction, as U.S. institutions are not always the lead institution and it is important to the advancement of fundamental research that institutions be encouraged to collaborate regardless of which one is the primary funded institution.

This concept is based on a very simple assumption: for two adjacent domains, each specifically engineered to convey traffic for a given application, the quality of the transportation across the two networks as a whole is likely to be satisfactory for the application, even if the two networks are managed by two different entities.
Packets leaving a domain that applied a given l-QC (signaled by a given DSCP if Diffserv is used), should experience similar treatment when crossing external domains up to their final destination.
However this notion can be extended, in a straightforward manner, to the crossing of several domains, as long as the set of consecutive domains is considered as a single virtual domain.

The extension of the statally-conceived fundamental rights relationship to the context of private governance regimes, cannot simply be based upon ‘private-law-appropriate' formulations, but must instead be founded within ‘social-system-appropriate' reformulation of all of the elements of the classical fundamental rights model: individual-state-power-subjective law.
