Half-disk topology
Half-disk topology is a type of network topology that is used in certain wireless communication systems. It is characterized by a circular or semi-circular arrangement where devices (nodes) are positioned within a half-disk area, facilitating communication among them. In a half-disk topology, the nodes that are placed within the half-disk can communicate directly with one another if they are within range.
Hedgehog space
"Hedgehog space" is a term that can refer to a couple of different concepts depending on the context, such as mathematics, gaming, or other fields. However, one of the most common references is in topology, particularly in the study of spaces related to the "hedgehog" model in algebraic topology or differential topology.
Heine–Borel theorem
The Heine–Borel theorem is a fundamental result in real analysis and topology that characterizes compact subsets of Euclidean space. The theorem states that in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), a subset is compact if and only if it is closed and bounded. To elaborate: 1. **Compact Set**: A set \( K \) is compact if every open cover of \( K \) has a finite subcover.
Initial topology
In topology, the concept of an **initial topology** is a way to construct a topology on a set that reflects the structure imposed by a collection of functions (or maps) from that set to other topological spaces. Specifically, it provides a minimal topology that makes certain maps continuous.
Integer broom topology
The term "integer broom topology" is not a standard term in mathematics or topology, as of my knowledge cut-off in October 2023. However, the concept of a "broom" in topology typically refers to a certain type of space that is designed to illustrate specific properties of convergence and limits.
Interior (topology)
In topology, the *interior* of a set refers to the collection of all points within that set which are not on its boundary.
Interlocking interval topology
Interlocking interval topology is a concept in the field of topology, specifically dealing with spaces constructed using intervals that have a particular relationship with one another. Here's a basic overview of the concept: ### Definitions: 1. **Intervals:** In a typical setting (especially in \(\mathbb{R}\)), intervals can be open, closed, or half-open.
Irreducible component
In algebraic geometry, an **irreducible component** of a topological space, particularly a scheme or algebraic variety, is a maximal irreducible subset of that space. To elaborate: 1. **Irreducibility**: A topological space is considered irreducible if it cannot be expressed as the union of two or more nonempty closed subsets.
Isolated point
In topology and mathematical analysis, an **isolated point** (or isolated point of a set) is a point that is a member of a set but does not have other points of the set arbitrarily close to it.
The Katětov–Tong insertion theorem is a result in the field of topology, particularly in the area of set-theoretic topology. It deals with the properties of certain types of topological spaces, specifically separable metric spaces. The theorem is named after mathematicians František Katětov and David Tong.
The lexicographic order topology on the unit square, which we denote as \( [0, 1] \times [0, 1] \), is based on an ordering of the points in the unit square. In this topology, we define a way to compare points \((x_1, y_1)\) and \((x_2, y_2)\) in the square using the lexicographic order, similar to how words are ordered in a dictionary.
Lindelöf space
A **Lindelöf space** is a concept from topology, a branch of mathematics that deals with the properties of space that are preserved under continuous transformations. Specifically, a topological space is termed **Lindelöf** if every open cover of the space has a countable subcover.
In general topology, various examples illustrate different concepts and properties. Here is a list of significant examples that are commonly discussed: 1. **Discrete Topology**: In this topology, every subset is open. For any set \(X\), the discrete topology on \(X\) consists of all possible subsets of \(X\).
List of general topology topics
General topology, also known as point-set topology, is a branch of topology dealing with the basic set-theoretic definitions and constructions used in topology. Here’s a list of key topics typically covered in a general topology course: 1. **Topological Spaces** - Definition of topological spaces - Basis for a topology - Subspace topology - Product topology - Quotient topology 2.
Local property
The term "local property" can refer to different concepts depending on the context in which it is used. Here are a few interpretations of "local property": 1. **Real Estate Context**: In real estate, local property may refer to real estate assets that are situated in a specific geographic area. This can involve considerations like property value, market trends, zoning laws, and community characteristics that pertain to that specific locality.
Locally closed subset
In topology, a subset \( A \) of a topological space \( X \) is called **locally closed** if it can be expressed as the intersection of an open set and a closed set in \( X \). More formally, a subset \( A \subseteq X \) is locally closed if there exists an open set \( U \subseteq X \) and a closed set \( C \subseteq X \) such that: \[ A = U \cap C.
Locally connected space
In topology, a space is said to be **locally connected** at a point if every neighborhood of that point contains a connected neighborhood of that point. More formally, a topological space \(X\) is said to be **locally connected** if for every point \(x \in X\) and every neighborhood \(U\) of \(x\), there exists a connected neighborhood \(V\) of \(x\) such that \(V \subseteq U\).
Locally finite space
In topology, a **locally finite space** is a type of topological space that possesses a specific property related to the concept of local finiteness of open covers.
Mapping torus
A **mapping torus** is a concept in topology, specifically in the study of fiber bundles and manifolds. It is a way to construct a new topological space from a given manifold and a continuous function defined on it. To describe a mapping torus formally, consider the following: 1. **Space**: Let \( M \) be a topological space (often a manifold) and let \( f: M \to M \) be a continuous map.
