Farrell extended Tate cohomology groups to the case of all groups "G" of finite virtual cohomological dimension.
Finite groups have virtual cohomological dimension 0, and in this case Farrell's cohomology groups are the same as those of Tate.
Just as the Fourier transform for an infinite interval is related to the Fourier series over a finite interval, so the Hankel transform over an infinite interval is related to the Fourier–Bessel series over a finite interval.
Domain of definition.
He believed that the Universe, while not infinite, could not be held as finite as it lacked any bounds within which it could be contained.
As light has a finite velocity, this theory also constrains the size of the directly observable Universe.
This leaves open the question as to whether the Universe is finite or infinite.

We can also state the "Symmetric Algorithmic Lovász Local Lemma":
Let formula_40 be a finite set of mutually independent random variables and formula_4 be a finite set of events determined by these variables as before.
But when there is some sort of short-distance regulator on space time, the monopoles have a finite mass.
We may as well assume that the tree has no finite branches, as finite branches can be "unravelled" so make no difference.
The base ring "R" is taken to be the finite field formula_2.
A curve "C" has at most a finite number of singular points.
In mathematics, a topological space is feebly compact if every locally finite cover by nonempty open sets is finite.
Universal hashing can be defined as a mapping from a finite set "A" with size "a" to a finite set "B" with size "b".

In particular, a finitely generated group with property FA has finite abelianization.
Indeed, any subgroup of finite index in a T-group has property FA.
In combinatorics, enumeration means counting, i.e., determining the exact number of elements of finite sets, usually grouped into infinite families, such as the family of sets each consisting of all permutations of some finite set.
In set theory, the notion of enumeration has a broader sense, and does not require the set being enumerated to be finite.
The name derives from this bijection (one-to-one correspondence) between the set of non-negative integers and the set of finite strings using a finite set of symbols (the "digits").
Based on his black-hole thermodynamics work, Bekenstein also demonstrated the Bekenstein bound: there is a maximum to the amount of information that can potentially be stored in a given finite region of space which has a finite amount of energy (which is similar to the holographic principle).
(locally finite implies point finite)
Refinement.

In theoretical physics, thermal quantum field theory or finite temperature field theory (or, shorter,
thermal field theory) is a set of methods to calculate expectation values of physical observables of a quantum field theory at finite temperature.
This has been shown to be a useful tool
in studying the behavior of quantum field theories at finite temperature.
Methods capable of treating finite regions have been applied to stars and to atomic nuclei.
