Two closed simply connected 4-manifolds are homeomorphic iff they have the same bilinear form beta and the same Kirby-Siebenmann invariant kappa. Any beta can be realized by ...

If a sequence of double points is passed as a closed curve is traversed, each double point appears once in an even place and once in an odd place.

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 ...

The geometric span is largest possible distance between two points drawn from a finite set of points. It is therefore closely related to the generalized diameter of a closed ...

A disk D in a solid torus V=S^1×D^2 is called meridinal if its boundary is a nontrivial curve in del V (so that it is a meridian). Then a closed subset X subset V is called ...

The interesting function defined by the definite integral G(x)=int_0^xsin(tsint)dt, illustrated above (Glasser 1990). The integral cannot be done in closed form, but has a ...

A glome is a 4-sphere (in the geometer's sense of the word) x^2+y^2+z^2+w^2=r^2 (as opposed to the usual 3-sphere). The term derives from the Latin "glomus" meaning "ball of ...

A method for predicting the onset of widespread chaos. It is based on the hypothesis that the dissolution of an invariant torus can be associated with the sudden change from ...

A half-plane is a planar region consisting of all points on one side of an infinite straight line, and no points on the other side. If the points on the line are included, ...

The Hall-Montgomery constant is related to the multiplicative spectrum of completely multiplicative functions and has closed form delta_0 = ...
