An abstract simplicial complex is a collection S of finite nonempty sets such that if A is an element of S, then so is every nonempty subset of A (Munkres 1993, p. 15).

A vector space V is a set that is closed under finite vector addition and scalar multiplication. The basic example is n-dimensional Euclidean space R^n, where every element ...

The set St^_v-Stv, where St^_v is a closed star and Stv is a star, is called the link of v in a simplicial complex K and is denoted Lkv (Munkres 1993, p. 11).

Let A be a commutative ring and let C_r be an R-module for r=0,1,2,.... A chain complex C__ of the form C__:...|->C_n|->C_(n-1)|->C_(n-2)|->...|->C_2|->C_1|->C_0 is said to ...

An H-space, named after Heinz Hopf, and sometimes also called a Hopf space, is a topological space together with a continuous binary operation mu:X×X->X, such that there ...

The set P^2 is the set of all equivalence classes [a,b,c] of ordered triples (a,b,c) in C^3\(0,0,0) under the equivalence relation (a,b,c)∼(a^',b^',c^') if ...

A topological space X in which each subset of X of the "first category" has an empty interior. A topological space which is homeomorphic to a complete metric space is a Baire ...

The polyhedron compound of the icosahedron (U_(22)) and the great dodecahedron (U_(35)), sometimes known as the small cid. Four faces meet at each edge of the small complex ...

A discrete space is simply a topological space equipped with the discrete topology. A discrete space is always a metric space, namely the metric space with the same ...
