The unit of solid angle. The solid angle corresponding to all of space being subtended is 4pi steradians.

A metric space X is isometric to a metric space Y if there is a bijection f between X and Y that preserves distances. That is, d(a,b)=d(f(a),f(b)). In the context of ...

Let (X,tau) be a topological space, and let p in X. Then the arc component of p is union {A subset= X:A is an arc and p in A}.

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.

Any collineation from P(V) to P(V), where V is a three-dimensional vector space, is associated with a semilinear map from V to V.

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