The type of homology which results when the spaces being studied are restricted to simplicial complexes and subcomplexes.

The general type of homology which is what mathematicians generally mean when they say "homology." Singular homology is a more general version than Poincaré's original ...

The continuous image of a Polish space, also called an analytic set.

The Miller Institute knot is the 6-crossing prime knot 6_2. It is alternating, chiral, and invertible. A knot diagram of its laevo form is illustrated above, which is ...

Solomon's seal knot is the prime (5,2)-torus knot 5_1 with braid word sigma_1^5. It is also known as the cinquefoil knot (a name derived from certain herbs and shrubs of the ...

The stevedore's knot is the 6-crossing prime knot 6_1. It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as KnotData["Stevedore"]. It has braid word ...

An abstract simplicial complex is a collection S of finite nonempty sets such that if A is an element of S, then so is every nonempty subset of A (Munkres 1993, p. 15).

Characteristic classes are cohomology classes in the base space of a vector bundle, defined through obstruction theory, which are (perhaps partial) obstructions to the ...

A gadget defined for complex vector bundles. The Chern classes of a complex manifold are the Chern classes of its tangent bundle. The ith Chern class is an obstruction to the ...

A homology class in a singular homology theory is represented by a finite linear combination of geometric subobjects with zero boundary. Such a linear combination is ...
