origin
In the vector space , the word origin refers to thezero point, that is the point . Similarly for . definitions can be made for any vector space. Often the notation or is used for the origin.
In some contexts the choice of “origin” can be arbitrary and thus not natural.For example, if we think of Euclidean space as an affine space or as a Riemannian manifold, it has no natural origin.Many theorems about local properties of manifolds
are stated for values near the origin in some vector space. This is because any point on the manifold can be the origin in some set of local coordinates.
