Intersection homology 1970-01-01
Intersection homology is a mathematical concept in algebraic topology that generalizes the notion of homology for singular spaces, particularly for spaces that may have singularities or non-manifold structures. Developed by mathematician Goresky and MacPherson in the 1980s, intersection homology provides tools to study these more complex spaces in a way that is coherent with classical homology theory.
James reduced product 1970-01-01
James reduced product is a construction in algebraic topology, specifically in the context of homotopy theory. It is named after the mathematician I. M. James, who introduced it in his work on fiber spaces and homotopy groups. The James reduced product addresses the issue of a certain type of product in the category of pointed spaces (spaces with a distinguished base point), particularly when working with spheres. The concept is useful when studying the stable homotopy groups of spheres.
Join (topology) 1970-01-01
In the context of topology, a **join** is an operation that combines two topological spaces into a new space. Given two topological spaces \( X \) and \( Y \), the join of \( X \) and \( Y \), denoted \( X * Y \), is constructed in a specific way. The join \( X * Y \) can be visualized as follows: 1. **Take the Cartesian product** \( X \times Y \).
L-theory 1970-01-01
L-theory, also known as L-theory of types, is a branch of mathematical logic that primarily concerns itself with the study of objects using a logical framework called "L" or "L(T)." It investigates various kinds of structures in relation to specific logical operations. In a broader context, L-theory often relates to modal logic, type theory, and sometimes category theory, where it deals with the formal properties of different types of systems and their relationships.
Shriek map 1970-01-01
A "shriek map" seems to refer to a concept in different contexts, but it is not widely recognized as a standard term in disciplines like geography, computer science, or social sciences.
Simple space 1970-01-01
"Simple space" could refer to different concepts depending on the context. Here are a few interpretations: 1. **Mathematics and Topology**: In mathematics, particularly in topology and algebraic topology, "simple space" might refer to a basic or fundamental type of topological space that has straightforward properties, such as being homeomorphic to simple geometric shapes like open intervals or Euclidean spaces.
Raymond Beausoleil 1970-01-01
Raymond Beausoleil is a Canadian criminal known primarily for his involvement in the Charles Manson family and the Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. He was not directly involved in the murders but was associated with the Manson family during that period and later became a key figure in a separate notable crime case. Beausoleil was convicted for the murder of Gary Hinman, a musician, which was part of the Manson family's activities.
Dunce hat (topology) 1970-01-01
In topology, the **Dunce hat** is a classic example of a space that provides interesting insights into the properties of topological spaces, especially in terms of non-manifold behavior and how simple constructions can lead to complex topological properties. The Dunce hat is constructed as follows: 1. **Begin with a square**: Take a square, which we can call \( [0, 1] \times [0, 1] \).
List of algebraic topology topics 1970-01-01
Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces.
Local system 1970-01-01
The term "local system" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few common interpretations: 1. **Local Area Network (LAN)**: In computing, a local system often refers to devices and computers connected within a limited geographical area, such as a home, office, or school. This can include computers, printers, and other devices that communicate with each other using a local network, often without accessing the broader internet.
Lusternik–Schnirelmann category 1970-01-01
The Lusternik–Schnirelmann (LS) category is a concept in algebraic topology that measures the "complexity" of a topological space in terms of how it can be covered by open sets that have some sort of "simple" structure, specifically, contractible sets.

Homological stability 1970-01-01
Homological stability is a concept in algebraic topology and representation theory that deals with the behavior of homological groups of topological spaces or algebraic structures as their dimensions or parameters vary. The basic idea is that for a sequence of spaces \(X_n\) (or groups, schemes, etc.), as \(n\) increases, the homological properties of these spaces become stable in a certain sense.
