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.
Homology manifold 1970-01-01
A homology manifold is a concept in algebraic topology, which generalizes some properties of manifolds in the context of homology theory. Specifically, a topological space is called a homology manifold if it satisfies certain homological conditions that are analogous to those of a manifold.
Homotopical algebra 1970-01-01
Homotopical algebra is a branch of mathematics that studies algebraic structures and their relationships through the lens of homotopy theory. It combines ideas from algebra, topology, and category theory, and it is particularly concerned with the properties of mathematical objects that are invariant under continuous deformations (homotopies).
Homotopy extension property 1970-01-01
The Homotopy Extension Property (HEP) is a fundamental concept in algebraic topology, particularly in the context of topological spaces and homotopy theory. It essentially describes a condition under which homotopies defined on a subspace can be extended to the entire space.
Homotopy fiber 1970-01-01
In algebraic topology, the concept of the homotopy fiber is a key tool used to study maps between topological spaces. It can be considered as a generalization of the notion of the fiber in the context of fibration, and it helps to understand the homotopical properties of the map in question.
Homotopy group with coefficients 1970-01-01
In algebraic topology, homotopy groups are algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homotopy equivalence. Typically, the most commonly discussed homotopy groups are the homotopy groups of a space \( X \), denoted \( \pi_n(X) \), which for a given integer \( n \) represent the \( n \)-th homotopy group of \( X \).
Homotopy lifting property 1970-01-01
The Homotopy Lifting Property (HLP) is a fundamental concept in algebraic topology, particularly in the study of fiber bundles and covering spaces. It describes how homotopies (continuous deformations) can be lifted from the base space to a total space in a fibration or covering space situation.
Hopf construction 1970-01-01
The Hopf construction is a mathematical procedure used in topology to create new topological spaces from given ones, particularly in the context of fiber bundles and homotopy theory. The method was introduced by Heinz Hopf in the early 20th century. A common application of Hopf construction involves taking a topological space known as a sphere and forming what is called a "Hopf fibration.
House with two rooms 1970-01-01
The phrase "House with two rooms" doesn’t refer to a specific or widely recognized concept or title. However, it can evoke various interpretations depending on the context. Here are a few possibilities: 1. **Metaphorical Interpretation**: It might symbolize a simple or modest lifestyle, focusing on minimalism or the idea of contentment with what one has.
Induced homomorphism 1970-01-01
An induced homomorphism is a concept in abstract algebra, particularly in the study of group theory, ring theory, and other algebraic structures. It refers to a homomorphism that arises from the application of a function or map at a more basic level to a broader structure.
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.
Invariance of domain 1970-01-01
Invariance of domain is a theorem in topology that relates to the concept of continuous functions between topological spaces, particularly finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces.
James embedding 1970-01-01
James embedding is a mathematical concept used in the field of differential geometry and topology, particularly in relation to the study of manifolds and vector bundles. It refers to a specific type of embedding that allows one to consider a given space as a subspace of a larger space. Specifically, the James embedding can be understood in the context of the study of infinite-dimensional topological vector spaces.
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.
Lazard's universal ring 1970-01-01
Lazard's universal ring, denoted as \( L \), is a fundamental construction in algebraic topology, specifically in the context of homotopy theory and stable homotopy categories. It is a ring that encodes information about stable homotopy groups of based topological spaces. More formally, Lazard's universal ring can be thought of as a certain commutative ring that classifies vector bundles over spheres and, by extension, stable homotopy types of spaces.
Lehrbuch der Topologie 1970-01-01
"Lehrbuch der Topologie" is a German phrase that translates to "Textbook of Topology." It typically refers to a comprehensive resource or textbook that covers various topics within the field of topology, a branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous transformations. There are several notable texts on topology, and one well-known book with a similar title is "Lehrbuch der Topologie" by Karl Heinrich Dähn.
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.
