| Archibald Alexander Hodge |
Archibald Alexander Hodge (July 18 1823 - November 12 1886), an American Presbyterian leader, was the principal of Princeton Seminary between 1878 and 1886. He was the son of Charles Hodge, named after the first principal of Princeton Seminary, Archibald Alexander. (references) |
| Birmingham Hodge Hill (UK Parliament constituency) |
Birmingham Hodge Hill is a constituency in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The constituency was created in 1983. (references) |
| Birmingham Hodge Hill by-election, 2004 |
A by-election was held for the United Kingdom Parliament seat of Birmingham Hodge Hill, on July 15, the same day as the Leicester South by-election. The seat was won by the Labour Party Liam Byrne, but with a vastly reduced majority. The reduction in the Labour majority has been blamed on the 2003 Iraq War. This was reflected in the notably high poll for a minor "fourth party", Respect, formed by expelled Labour MP, George Galloway and dissident socialists earlier that year. (references) |
| Bob Hodge |
Bob Hodge (1955-), sometimes nicknamed Hodgie-San by fellow running enthusiasts, is an American distance runner originally from Lowell, MA who achieved some acclaim in the 1970s and 1980s. He placed 3rd in the 1979 Boston Marathon with a time of 2:12:30. He ran a personal best in the 1980 Nike OTC Marathon in Eugene, OR with a time of 2:10:59. He won several road races of note including the Mt. Washington Road Race (1976-1980, 1985 and 1987), the Bay-to-Breakers Road Race in San Francisco (1979) and the Beppu Marathon in Japan (1982).

| Charles Hodge |
Charles Hodge (1797-1878) was the principal of Princeton Theological Seminary between 1851 and 1878. He was one of the greatest exponents and defenders of historical Calvinism in America during the 19th century. (references) |

| Hodge 301 |
Hodge 301 is a star cluster in the Tarantula Nebula, visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere. The cluster and nebula lie about 168,000 light years away, in one of our Milky Way Galaxy's orbiting satellite galaxies, the Large Magellanic Cloud. (references) |
| Hodge conjecture |
The Hodge conjecture is a major unsolved problem of algebraic geometry. It is a conjectural description of the link between the algebraic topology of a non-singular complex algebraic variety, and its geometry as captured by polynomial equations that define sub-varieties. It arose as a result of the work of W. V. D. Hodge, who between 1930 and 1940 enriched the description of De Rham cohomology to include extra structure which is present in the case of algebraic varieties (though not restricted to that case). (references) |
| Hodge cycle |
Defined in algebraic topology (as a special case of the universal coefficient theorem). The conventional term Hodge cycle therefore is slightly inaccurate, in that x is considered as a class (modulo boundaries); but this is normal usage. (references) |
| Hodge Hill |
Hodge Hill is an area in east Birmingham, England. It is also a formal district, managed by its own district committee. (references) |
| Hodge index theorem |
In mathematics, the Hodge index theorem for an algebraic surface V determines the signature of the intersection pairing on the algebraic curves C on V. It says, roughly speaking, that the space spanned by such curves (up to linear equivalence) has a one-dimensional subspace on which it is positive definite (not uniquely determined), and decomposes as a direct sum of some such one-dimensional subspace, and a complementary subspace on which it is negative definite. (references) |
| Hodge theory |
In mathematics, Hodge theory is one aspect of the study of the algebraic topology of a smooth manifold M. More specifically, it works out the consequences for the cohomology groups of M, with real coefficients, of the partial differential equation theory of generalised Laplacian operators associated to a Riemannian metric on M.

| W. V. D. Hodge |
William Vallance Douglas Hodge (17 June 1903 - 7 July 1975) was a Scottish mathematician, specifically a geometer. His discovery of topological relations between algebraic geometry and differential geometry - now called Hodge theory and pertaining more generally to Kähler manifolds - was a major influence on subsequent work. He was born in Edinburgh, and was the Lowndean Professor of Astronomy and Geometry at Cambridge from 1936 to 1970. He was the Master of Pembroke College, Cambridge from 1958 to 1970, and vice-president of the Royal Society from 1959 to 1965. Amongst other honours, he received the Adams Prize in 1937 and the Copley Medal of the Royal Society in 1974. (references) |
