From Wikipedia:

Using the dot and cross products, the vector v can be decomposed into components parallel and perpendicular to the axis k, where the component parallel to k is called the vector projection of v on k, and the component perpendicular to k is called the vector rejection of v from k.

"Vector projection" is проекция вектора v на k in Russian, but I've never heard the term "vector rejection" before — in English or in Russian.

Is there an established Russian term for it?

    Я б сказал проекция к нормали k и честно говоря ничего другого в данном контексте не слышал. – shabunc Dec 28 '20 at 22:52

    I reject the idea of using “rejection” like that in math in English. Please do not try to create a Russian analogue of that ridiculous terminology. Follow the suggestion of shabunc. – KCd Dec 29 '20 at 02:41

  • @shabunc isn't it проекция на нормаль к оси k? – il--ya Dec 15 '21 at 09:47
  • @il--ya yeah, it definitely might be, may be my memory does not serve me well – shabunc Dec 27 '21 at 20:51

If you need a term, you can say ортогональная составляющая вектора v относительно оси k (as opposed to ортогональная проекция вектора v на ось k). Bear in mind, though, that this is not a term from vector algebra, which seems to be the context of your question; this is a term from abstract algebra.

Other than that, the best way to describe this concept would be проекция вектора v на плоскость, перпендикулярную оси k.

It can be translated as "вертикальная компонента вектора v", but only in the context of projection.
