The 120-cell is a finite regular four-dimensional polytope with Schläfli symbol {5,3,3}. It is also known as the hyperdodecahedron or hecatonicosachoron, and is composed of ...

A compactum (plural: compacta) is a compact metric space. An example of a compactum is any finite discrete metric space. Also, the space [0,1] union [2,3] is a compactum, ...

The terms "measure," "measurable," etc. have very precise technical definitions (usually involving sigma-algebras) that can make them appear difficult to understand. However, ...

A weakened version of pointwise convergence hypothesis which states that, for X a measure space, f_n(x)->f(x) for all x in Y, where Y is a measurable subset of X such that ...

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}.

A basepoint is the beginning and ending point of a loop. The fundamental group of a topological space is always with respect to a particular choice of basepoint.

A subset X subset Y is said to be bicollared in Y if there exists an embedding b:X×[-1,1]->Y such that b(x,0)=x when x in X. The map b or its image is then said to be the ...

If F is the Borel sigma-algebra on some topological space, then a measure m:F->R is said to be a Borel measure (or Borel probability measure). For a Borel measure, all ...

The points on a line can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with the real numbers.

omega^epsilon=epsilon, where omega is an ordinal number and epsilon is an inaccessible cardinal.
