generic point
point of an algebraic variety, which has no other property than those that are shared by all other points, or, in scheme theory, a point that contains all other points
Néron–Tate height
measure of the arithmetic complexity of a rationa point on an abelian variety

mutually unbiased bases
a set of orthonormal bases, where each vector of a given basis has the same overlap with all the vectors of other bases
Picard–Lefschetz theory
the study of the topology of a complex manifold by looking at the critical points of a holomorphic function on the manifold
