In mathematics, a skeleton of a category is a subcategory that, roughly speaking, does not contain any extraneous isomorphisms. In a certain sense, the skeleton of a category is the "smallest" equivalent category, which captures all "categorical properties" of the original. In fact, two categories are equivalent if and...

There is at least one generalization of this conjecture, known as the symplectic Thom conjecture (which is now a theorem, as proved for example by Peter Ozsváth and Szabó in 2000). It states that a symplectic surface of a symplectic 4-manifold is genus minimizing within its homology class. This would imply the previous...

In mathematics, a sofic group is a group whose Cayley graph is an initially subamenable graph, or equivalently a subgroup of an ultraproduct of finite-rank symmetric groups such that every two elements of the group have distance 1. They were introduced by Gromov (1999) as a common generalization of amenable and residua...

A finitely generated group is sofic if it is the limit of a sequence of sofic groups.

In mathematics, a space is a set (sometimes called a universe) with some added structure.

A space consists of selected ...

The kind of convolution ( f , g ) ↦ f ∗ g {\textstyle (f,g)\mapsto f*g} with which this theory is concerned is defined by ( f ∗ g ) ( x ) = ∫ 0 x f ( u ) g ( x − u ) d u . {\displaystyle (f*g)(x)=\int _{0}^{x}f(u)g(x-u)\,du.} It follows from the Titchmarsh convolution theorem that if the convolution f ∗ g {\textstyle f...

A consequence is that if f , g , h {\textstyle f,g,h} are continuous on [ 0 , + ∞ ) {\textstyle [0,+\infty )} then h ∗ f = h ∗ g {\textstyle h*f=h*g} only if f = g . {\textstyle f=g.} This fact makes it possible to define convolution quotients by saying that for two functions ƒ, g, the pair (ƒ, g) has the same convolut...

In mathematics, a sparse polynomial (also lacunary polynomial or fewnomial) is a polynomial that has far fewer terms than its degree and number of variables would suggest.

In mathematics, a spherical conic or sphero-conic is a curve on the sphere, the intersection of the sphere with a concentric elliptic cone.

c_ceoz783pbjwv
Like planar conics, spherical conics also satisfy a "reflection property": the great-circle arcs from the two foci to any point on the conic have the tangent and normal to the conic at that point as their angle bisectors. Many theorems about conics in the plane extend to spherical conics. For example, Graves's theorem ...

When restricted to the surface of a sphere, the remaining coordinates are confocal spherical conics.

By contrast, in many mathematics books, ( ρ , θ , φ ) {\displaystyle (\rho ,\theta ,\varphi )} or ( r , θ , φ ) {\displaystyle (r,\theta ,\varphi )} gives the radial distance, azimuthal angle, and polar angle, switching the meanings of θ and φ. Other conventions are also used, such as r for radius from the z-axis, so g...

In mathematics, a square is the result of multiplying a number by itself. The verb "to square" is used to denote this operation. Squaring is the same as raising to the power 2, and is denoted by a superscript 2; for instance, the square of 3 may be written as 32, which is the number 9. In some cases when superscripts a...

For instance, the square of the linear polynomial x + 1 is the quadratic polynomial (x + 1)2 = x2 + 2x + 1.

In mathematics, a stuck unknot is a closed polygonal chain in three-dimensional space (a skew polygon) that is topologically equal to the unknot but cannot be deformed to a simple polygon when interpreted as a mechanical linkage, by rigid length-preserving and non-self-intersecting motions of its segments. Similarly a ...

In mathematics, a stunted projective space is a construction on a projective space of importance in homotopy theory, introduced by James (1959). Part of a conventional projective space is collapsed down to a point. More concretely, in a real projective space, complex projective space or quaternionic projective space KP...

This makes a topological space that is no longer a manifold. The importance of this construction was realised when it was shown that real stunted projective spaces arose as Spanier–Whitehead duals of spaces of Ioan James, so-called quasi-projective spaces, constructed from Stiefel manifolds. Their properties were there...

In this way the vector fields on spheres question was reduced to a question on stunted projective spaces: for RPn,m, is there a degree one mapping on the 'next cell up' (of the first dimension not collapsed in the 'stunting') that extends to the whole space? Frank Adams showed that this could not happen, completing the...

In mathematics, a sub-Riemannian manifold is a certain type of generalization of a Riemannian manifold. Roughly speaking, to measure distances in a sub-Riemannian manifold, you are allowed to go only along curves tangent to so-called horizontal subspaces. Sub-Riemannian manifolds (and so, a fortiori, Riemannian manifol...

The Hausdorff dimension of such metric spaces is always an integer and larger than its topological dimension (unless it is actually a Riemannian manifold). Sub-Riemannian manifolds often occur in the study of constrained systems in classical mechanics, such as the motion of vehicles on a surface, the motion of robot ar...

In mathematics, a subadditive set function is a set function whose value, informally, has the property that the value of function on the union of two sets is at most the sum of values of the function on each of the sets. This is thematically related to the subadditivity property of real-valued functions.

In mathematics, a subalgebra is a subset of an algebra, closed under all its operations, and carrying the induced operations. "Algebra", when referring to a structure, often means a vector space or module equipped with an additional bilinear operation. Algebras in universal algebra are far more general: they are a comm...
