Cohomotopy groups are similar to homotopy groups. A cohomotopy group is a group related to the homotopy classes of maps from a space X into a sphere S^n.

A set S in a vector space over R is called a convex set if the line segment joining any pair of points of S lies entirely in S.

The plane spanned by two coordinate axes in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. The coordinate plane spanned by the x- and the y-axis is called xy-plane.

The cotangent bundle of a manifold is similar to the tangent bundle, except that it is the set (x,f) where x in M and f is a dual vector in the tangent space to x in M. The ...

The n-cyclohedron, also known as the Bott-Taubes polytope, is defined as the compactification of the configuration space of n points on the circle. The cyclohedron can be ...

In elliptic n-space, the pole of an (n-1)-flat is a point located at an arc length of pi/2 radians away from each point of the (n-1)-flat.

The Gelfand-Naimark theorem states that each C^*-algebra is isometrically *-isomorphic to a closed *-subalgebra of the algebra B(H) consisting of all bounded operators acting ...

Let V be an inner product space and let x,y,z in V. Hlawka's inequality states that ||x+y||+||y+z||+||z+x||<=||x||+||y||+||z||+||x+y+z||, where the norm ||z|| denotes the ...

A measure algebra which has many properties associated with the convolution measure algebra of a group, but no algebraic structure is assumed for the underlying space.

A d-hyperoctant is one of the 2^d regions of space defined by the 2^d possible combinations of signs (+/-,+/-,...,+/-). The 2-hyperoctant is known as a quadrant and the ...
