https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submanifold | In mathematics, a submanifold of a manifold M is a subset S which itself has the structure of a manifold, and for which the inclusion map satisfies certain properties. There are different types of submanifolds depending on exactly which properties are required. Different authors often have different definitions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codimension | In mathematics, codimension is a basic geometric idea that applies to subspaces in vector spaces, to submanifolds in manifolds, and suitable subsets of algebraic varieties.
For affine and projective algebraic varieties, the codimension equals the height of the defining ideal. For this reason, the height of an ideal is... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular%20perturbation | In mathematics, a singular perturbation problem is a problem containing a small parameter that cannot be approximated by setting the parameter value to zero. More precisely, the solution cannot be uniformly approximated by an asymptotic expansion
as . Here is the small parameter of the problem and are a sequence of ... |

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic%20surface | In mathematics, a cubic surface is a surface in 3-dimensional space defined by one polynomial equation of degree 3. Cubic surfaces are fundamental examples in algebraic geometry. The theory is simplified by working in projective space rather than affine space, and so cubic surfaces are generally considered in projectiv... |
