  • Latin conjugation, Spanish conjugation and the English verb, each with complex conjugation forms.
• Marriage, relationship between two individuals.

In mathematics:

• Complex conjugation, the operation which multiplies the imaginary part of a complex number by -1; see also conjugate element (field theory).
• In group theory, if a is an element of a group, then the map f(x) = axa^-1 is called conjugation by a. See inner automorphism, conjugacy class, conjugate closure, and conjugation of isometries in Euclidean space.
• Topological conjugation, which identifies equivalent dynamical systems.
• Conjugate points, in differential geometry.
• Conjugate prior, in probability theory, a family of prior probability distributions.

In science:

• Bacterial conjugation, in biology, transmission of DNA between cells by contact other than fusion.
• Conjugated system, in organic chemistry, a system of atoms covalently bonded.
• Conjugate variables (thermodynamics), the internal energy of a system.
• In metabolism, conjugation is a biochemical process to bind a substance to an acid and thereby deactivating its biological activity, making it water-soluble, and facilitating its excretion.
• Conjugate quantities, in quantum physics, are observables that are linked by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, such as position and momentum.
