https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochhammer%20contour
In mathematics, the Pochhammer contour, introduced by and , is a contour in the complex plane with two points removed, used for contour integration. If A and B are loops around the two points, both starting at some fixed point P, then the Pochhammer contour is the commutator ABA−1B−1, where the superscript −1 denote...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gammoid
In matroid theory, a field within mathematics, a gammoid is a certain kind of matroid, describing sets of vertices that can be reached by vertex-disjoint paths in a directed graph. The concept of a gammoid was introduced and shown to be a matroid by , based on considerations related to Menger's theorem characterizing ...
