Let H be a Hilbert space, B(H) the set of bounded linear operators from H to itself, T an operator on H, and sigma(T) the operator spectrum of T. Then if T in B(H) and T is ...

When can homology classes be realized as the image of fundamental classes of manifolds? The answer is known, and singular bordism groups provide insight into this problem.

The Stiefel-Whitney number is defined in terms of the Stiefel-Whitney class of a manifold as follows. For any collection of Stiefel-Whitney classes such that their cup ...

A subspace A of X is called a strong deformation retract of X if there is a homotopy F:X×I->X (called a retract) such that for all x in X, a in A, and t in I, 1. F(x,0)=x, 2. ...

A map phi:M->M where M is a manifold is C^r structurally stable if any C^r perturbation is topologically conjugate to phi. Here, C^r perturbation means a function psi such ...

A set in a Polish space is a Borel set iff it is both analytic and coanalytic. For subsets of w, a set is delta_1^1 iff it is "hyperarithmetic."

The space join of a topological space X and a pair of points S^0, Sigma(X)=X*S^0.

The problem of finding all independent irreducible algebraic relations among any finite set of quantics.

A surface given by the parametric equations x = A(u-a)^m(v-a)^n (1) y = B(u-b)^m(v-b)^n (2) z = C(u-c)^m(v-c)^n. (3)

A special case of a quartic Kummer surface.
