Teichmüller's theorem asserts the existence and uniqueness of the extremal quasiconformal map between two compact Riemann surfaces of the same genus modulo an equivalence ...

A sigma-compact topological space is a topological space that is the union of countably many compact subsets.

According to most authors (e.g., Kelley 1955, p. 113; McCarty 1967, p. 144; Willard 1970, p. 92) a regular space is a topological space in which every neighborhood of a point ...

A space-filling polyhedron is a polyhedron which can be used to generate a tessellation of space. Although even Aristotle himself proclaimed in his work On the Heavens that ...

A metric space X is boundedly compact if all closed bounded subsets of X are compact. Every boundedly compact metric space is complete. (This is a generalization of the ...

A Euclidean-like space having line element ds^2=(dz^1)^2+...+(dz^p)^2-(dz^(p+1))^2-...-(dz^(p+q))^2, having dimension m=p+q (Rosen 1965). In contrast, the signs would be all ...

Suppose that V={(x_1,x_2,x_3)} and W={(x_1,0,0)}. Then the quotient space V/W (read as "V mod W") is isomorphic to {(x_2,x_3)}=R^2. In general, when W is a subspace of a ...

For d>=1, Omega an open subset of R^d, p in [1;+infty] and s in N, the Sobolev space W^(s,p)(R^d) is defined by W^(s,p)(Omega)={f in L^p(Omega): forall ...

A totally disconnected space is a space in which all subsets with more than one element are disconnected. In particular, if it has more than one element, it is a disconnected ...

If it is possible to transform a coordinate system to a form where the metric elements g_(munu) are constants independent of x^mu, then the space is flat.
