We discuss eccentricities (ellipticity and triangularity) generated in nucleus–nucleus and proton–nucleus collisions. We define multi-particle eccentricities class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0375947414000657&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0375947414000657&_rdoc=1&_issn=03759474&md5=b90a8c84fbbf11cb66cd162271d86813" title="Click to view the MathML source">系n{m}class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> which are associated with the n 'th angular multipole moment for m particles.

For dynamics linearly responding to these eccentricities such as hydrodynamics, these relations among eccentricities are translated into relations among flow moments class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0375947414000657&_mathId=si3.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0375947414000657&_rdoc=1&_issn=03759474&md5=dfa1c7067f624e319f81b51aa621eaa4" title="Click to view the MathML source">vn{m}class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">. We explicitly demonstrate it with hydrodynamic calculations.
