Gerhard Lauter
Gerhard Lauter was a former senior officer of the East German People's Police.

On 1 January 1989 Lauter started a new job, joining the Interior Ministry ("Home Office" / "Department of the Interior") as deputy head of the department responsible for the registration of citizens and for the issuance of passports and identity cards.   The transfer to the ministry  had come as a surprise, and the transfer away from the detective work, at which he evidently excelled, was unwelcome, but it would have been unusual (and unwise) to turn down a government job offer.   Rapid promotion within the department ensued.  In November of that year he played a central role in the events that led to the ending of the East German one-party dictatorship: one headline writer identified him in 2015 as "the "ghost-writer" [for the] Fall of the Berlin Wall".

Lists of political office-holders in East Germany
These are lists of political office-holders in East Germany. The political leadership of East Germany was distributed between several offices. However, until the Volkskammer removed a section in the East German constitution guaranteeing their monopoly on political power on 1 December 1989, the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) held ultimate power and authority over state and government. Thus, the head of the SED's Politburo of the Central Committee was the de facto leader of the country.

Bhāṇaka
Bhāṇaka (Pali: reciter) were Buddhist monks who specialized in the memorization and recitation of a specific collection of texts within the Buddhist canon. Lineages of bhāṇakas were responsible for preserving and transmitting the teachings of the Buddha until the canon was committed to writing in the 1st century BC, and declined as the oral transmission of early Buddhism was replaced by writing.

Buddhist councils
Since the death of the historical Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, Buddhist monastic communities, the "sangha", have periodically convened for doctrinal and disciplinary reasons and to revise and correct the contents of the Buddhist canons. Referred to as Buddhist "councils" (Pāli and Sanskrit: saṅgīti, literally meaning "reciting together" or "joint rehearsal"), the famous First Buddhist Council is recorded in Buddhist texts as being held one year after the Buddha's passing, when Ananda recited all of the spoken sutras, which were recorded in Rajagriha. The two next major Councils were held more than 100 years later.

The details of the later councils are debated by modern Buddhist studies. Various sources belonging to different Buddhist schools may contain different accounts of these events. For this reason, modern scholars have questioned the historicity of some of these councils or at least their preserved descriptions in literature.

Particle-size distribution
In granulometry, the particle-size distribution (PSD) of a powder, or granular material, or particles dispersed in fluid, is a list of values or a mathematical function that defines the relative amount, typically by mass, of particles present according to size. Significant energy is usually required to disintegrate soil, etc. particles into the PSD that is then called a grain size distribution.

Subgroup distortion
In geometric group theory, a discipline of mathematics, subgroup distortion measures the extent to which an overgroup can reduce the complexity of a group's word problem.  Like much of geometric group theory, the concept is due to Misha Gromov, who introduced it in 1993.

Formally, let S generate group H, and let G be an overgroup for H generated by S ∪ T.  Then each generating set defines a word metric on the corresponding group; the distortion of H in G is the asymptotic equivalence class of the function  where BX(x, r) is the ball of radius r about center x in X and diam(S) is the diameter of S.: 49

A subgroup with bounded distortion is called undistorted, and is the same thing as a quasi-isometrically embedded subgroup.

Word metric
In group theory, a word metric on a discrete group  is a way to measure distance between any two elements of . As the name suggests, the word metric is a metric on , assigning to any two elements ,  of  a distance  that measures how efficiently their difference  can be expressed as a word whose letters come from a generating set for the group. The word metric on G is very closely related to the Cayley graph of G: the word metric measures the length of the shortest path in the Cayley graph between two elements of G.

A generating set for  must first be chosen before a word metric on  is specified. Different choices of a generating set will typically yield different word metrics. While this seems at first to be a weakness in the concept of the word metric, it can be exploited to prove theorems about geometric properties of groups, as is done in geometric group theory.
