In mathematics, the term lattice group is used for two distinct notions: a lattice (group), a discrete subgroup of Rn and its generalizations a lattice ordered group, a group that with a partial ordering that is a lattice order
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretopological%20space
In general topology, a pretopological space is a generalization of the concept of topological space. A pretopological space can be defined in terms of either filters or a preclosure operator. The similar, but more abstract, notion of a Grothendieck pretopology is used to form a Grothendieck topology, and is covered i...

In mathematics, the Picard–Fuchs equation, named after Émile Picard and Lazarus Fuchs, is a linear ordinary differential equation whose solutions describe the periods of elliptic curves. Definition Let be the j-invariant with and the modular invariants of the elliptic curve in Weierstrass form: Note that the j-inv...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann%27s%20differential%20equation
In mathematics, Riemann's differential equation, named after Bernhard Riemann, is a generalization of the hypergeometric differential equation, allowing the regular singular points to occur anywhere on the Riemann sphere, rather than merely at 0, 1, and . The equation is also known as the Papperitz equation. The hyp...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willmore%20energy
In differential geometry, the Willmore energy is a quantitative measure of how much a given surface deviates from a round sphere. Mathematically, the Willmore energy of a smooth closed surface embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space is defined to be the integral of the square of the mean curvature minus the Gaus...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%20curvature
In differential geometry, the two principal curvatures at a given point of a surface are the maximum and minimum values of the curvature as expressed by the eigenvalues of the shape operator at that point. They measure how the surface bends by different amounts in different directions at that point. Discussion At eac...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%20of%20small%20categories
In mathematics, specifically in category theory, the category of small categories, denoted by Cat, is the category whose objects are all small categories and whose morphisms are functors between categories. Cat may actually be regarded as a 2-category with natural transformations serving as 2-morphisms. The initial ob...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manifold
In mathematics, a manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, an -dimensional manifold, or -manifold for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of -dimensional Euclidean space. ...

In mathematics, the Glaisher–Kinkelin constant or Glaisher's constant, typically denoted , is a mathematical constant, related to the -function and the Barnes -function. The constant appears in a number of sums and integrals, especially those involving gamma functions and zeta functions. It is named after mathematicia...

Ernst Gottfried Fischer (17 July 1754 – 27 January 1831) was a German chemist. He was born in Hoheneiche near Saalfeld. After studying theology and mathematics at the University of Halle, he was a teacher in Berlin before becoming Professor of Physics in 1810. He translated Claude Berthollet's publication Recherches ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holyhedron
In mathematics, a holyhedron is a type of 3-dimensional geometric body: a polyhedron each of whose faces contains at least one polygon-shaped hole, and whose holes' boundaries share no point with each other or the face's boundary. The concept was first introduced by John H. Conway; the term "holyhedron" was coined by...

A cot is a camp bed or infant bed. Cot or COT may also refer to: In arts and entertainment Chicago Opera Theater, an opera company In mathematics, science, and technology Car of Tomorrow, a car design used in NASCAR racing Cost of transport, an energy calculation Cottage developed from the word cot, which can be...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baire%20space%20%28set%20theory%29
In set theory, the Baire space is the set of all infinite sequences of natural numbers with a certain topology. This space is commonly used in descriptive set theory, to the extent that its elements are often called "reals". It is denoted NN, ωω, by the symbol or also ωω, not to be confused with the countable ordina...
