Let f be a contraction mapping from a closed subset F of a Banach space E into F. Then there exists a unique z in F such that f(z)=z.

If X is any space, then there is a CW-complex Y and a map f:Y->X inducing isomorphisms on all homotopy, homology, and cohomology groups.

The space of continuously differentiable functions is denoted C^1, and corresponds to the k=1 case of a C-k function.

A family of subsets of a topological space such that every point has a neighborhood that intersects only one of them.

A bounded operator U on a Hilbert space H is called essentially unitary if U^*U-I and UU^*-I are compact operators.

The curvature and torsion functions along a space curve determine it up to an orientation-preserving isometry.

The homeomorphism group of a topological space X is the set of all homeomorphisms f:X->X, which forms a group by composition.

A family of subsets of a topological space such that every point has a neighborhood which intersects only a finite number of them.

A space X is locally pathwise-connected if for every neighborhood around every point in X, there is a smaller, pathwise-connected neighborhood.

An infinite-dimensional differential calculus on the Wiener space, also called stochastic calculus of variations.
