The operation of interchanging true and false in a logical statement. The negation of A is often called "NOT-A," and can be denoted !A, or with the negation sign ¬, so not-A ...

If A=>!B and B=>!A (i.e., (A=>!B) ^ (B=>!A), where !A denotes NOT, => denotes implies, and ^ denotes AND), then A and B are said to be inequivalent, a relationship which is ...

In a space E equipped with a symmetric, differential k-form, or Hermitian form, the orthogonal sum is the direct sum of two subspaces V and W, which are mutually orthogonal. ...

An inner automorphism of a group G is an automorphism of the form phi(g)=h^(-1)gh, where h is a fixed element of G. An outer automorphism of G is an automorphism which cannot ...

A change in a knot projection such that a pair of oppositely oriented strands are passed through another pair of oppositely oriented strands.

The knot move obtained by fixing disk 1 in the figure above and flipping disks 2 and 3.

The plumbing of a p-sphere and a q-sphere is defined as the disjoint union of S^p×D^q and D^p×S^q with their common D^p×D^q, identified via the identity homeomorphism. This ...

The Reidemeister move of type II.

A Cartesian product equipped with a "product topology" is called a product space (or product topological space, or direct product).

A group action of a topological group G on a topological space X is said to be a proper group action if the mapping G×X->X×X(g,x)|->(gx,x) is a proper map, i.e., inverses of ...
