A list of problems in low-dimensional topology maintained by Kirby (1995). The list currently runs about 380 pages.

A lattice which is built up of layers of n-dimensional lattices in (n+1)-dimensional space. The vectors specifying how layers are stacked are called glue vectors. The order ...

A law in (2-valued) logic which states there is no third alternative to truth or falsehood. In other words, for any statement A, either A or not-A must be true and the other ...

The inverse curve of a lemniscate in a circle centered at the origin and touching the lemniscate where it crosses the x-axis produces a rectangular hyperbola (Wells 1991).
