Let G be a locally compact Abelian group. Let G^* be the group of all continuous homeomorphisms G->R/Z, in the compact open topology. Then G^* is also a locally compact ...

An iterated fibration of Eilenberg-Mac lane spaces. Every topological space has this homotopy type.

For a given monic quartic equation f(x)=x^4+a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0, (1) the resolvent cubic is the monic cubic polynomial g(x)=x^3+b_2x^2+b_1x+b_0, (2) where the coefficients ...

A subspace A of X is called a retract of X if there is a continuous map f:X->X (called a retraction) such that for all x in X and all a in A, 1. f(x) in A, and 2. f(a)=a. ...

A retraction is a continuous map of a space onto a subspace leaving each point of the subspace fixed. Alternatively, retraction can refer to withdrawal of a paper containing ...

If J is a simple closed curve in R^2, the closure of one of the components of R^2-J is homeomorphic with the unit 2-ball. This theorem may be proved using the Riemann mapping ...

The surface given by the parametric equations x = asinu (1) y = asinv (2) z = asin(u+v). (3) It is a sextic surface with algebraic equation (4) The coefficients of the first ...

The space of immersions of a manifold in another manifold is homotopically equivalent to the space of bundle injections from the tangent space of the first to the tangent ...

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.
