These subspaces increase with n. The 0-skeleton is a discrete space, and the 1-skeleton a topological graph. The skeletons of a space are used in obstruction theory, to construct spectral sequences by means of filtrations, and generally to make inductive arguments. They are particularly important when X has infinite di...

In mathematics, particularly in calculus, a stationary point of a differentiable function of one variable is a point on the graph of the function where the function's derivative is zero. Informally, it is a point where the function "stops" increasing or decreasing (hence the name). For a differentiable function of seve...

In mathematics, particularly in category theory, a morphism is a structure-preserving map from one mathematical structure to another one of the same type. The notion of morphism recurs in much of contemporary mathematics. In set theory, morphisms are functions; in linear algebra, linear transformations; in group theory...

c_arhgz9jqxz5k
In category theory, morphism is a broadly similar idea: the mathematical objects involved need not be sets, and the relationships between them may be something other than maps, although the morphisms between the objects of a given category have to behave similarly to maps in that they have to admit an associative opera...

In mathematics, particularly in combinatorics, a Stirling number of the second kind (or Stirling partition number) is the number of ways to partition a set of n objects into k non-empty subsets and is denoted by S ( n , k ) {\displaystyle S(n,k)} or { n k } {\displaystyle \textstyle \left\{{n \atop k}\right\}} .

A two-dimensional real manifold can be turned into a Riemann surface (usually in several inequivalent ways) if and only if it is orientable and metrizable. So the sphere and torus admit complex structures, but the Möbius strip, Klein bottle and real projective plane do not. Geometrical facts about Riemann surfaces are ...

One disk is allowed to spin freely, and the other is driven by a motor.

In mathematics, particularly in the subfield of real analytic geometry, a subanalytic set is a set of points (for example in Euclidean space) defined in a way broader than for semianalytic sets (roughly speaking, those satisfying conditions requiring certain real power series to be positive there). Subanalytic sets sti...

In mathematics, particularly in the subfields of set theory and topology, a set C {\displaystyle C} is said to be saturated with respect to a function f: X → Y {\displaystyle f:X\to Y} if C {\displaystyle C} is a subset of f {\displaystyle f} 's domain X {\displaystyle X} and if whenever f {\displaystyle f} sends two p...

In topology, a subset of a topological space ( X , τ ) {\displaystyle (X,\tau )} is saturated if it is equal to an intersection of open subsets of X . {\displaystyle X.} In a T1 space every set is saturated.

In mathematics, particularly in the theory of C*-algebras, a uniformly hyperfinite, or UHF, algebra is a C*-algebra that can be written as the closure, in the norm topology, of an increasing union of finite-dimensional full matrix algebras.

In mathematics, particularly in the theory of spinors, the Weyl–Brauer matrices are an explicit realization of a Clifford algebra as a matrix algebra of 2⌊n/2⌋ × 2⌊n/2⌋ matrices. They generalize the Pauli matrices to n dimensions, and are a specific construction of higher-dimensional gamma matrices. They are named for ...

In mathematics, particularly in universal algebra and category theory, transport of structure refers to the process whereby a mathematical object acquires a new structure and its canonical definitions, as a result of being isomorphic to (or otherwise identified with) another object with a pre-existing structure. Defini...

The idea is that ϕ {\displaystyle \phi } allows one to consider V {\displaystyle V} and W {\displaystyle W} as "the same" vector space, and by following this analogy, then one can transport an inner product from one space to the other. A more elaborated example comes from differential topology, in which the notion of s...

That is, X {\displaystyle X} is a smooth manifold via transport of structure. This is a special case of transport of structures in general.The second example also illustrates why "transport of structure" is not always desirable. Namely, one can take M {\displaystyle M} to be the plane, and X {\displaystyle X} to be an ...

By "flattening" the cone, a homeomorphism of X {\displaystyle X} and M {\displaystyle M} can be obtained, and therefore the structure of a smooth manifold on X {\displaystyle X} , but the cone is not "naturally" a smooth manifold. That is, one can consider X {\displaystyle X} as a subspace of 3-space, in which context ...
