A mathematical property P holds locally if P is true near every point. In many different areas of mathematics, this notion is very useful. For instance, the sphere, and more ...

There are no fewer than three distinct notions of the term local C^*-algebra used throughout functional analysis. A normed algebra A=(A,|·|_A) is said to be a local ...

A local ring is a ring R that contains a single maximal ideal. In this case, the Jacobson radical equals this maximal ideal. One property of a local ring R is that the subset ...

A lattice L is locally bounded if and only if each of its finitely generated sublattices is bounded. Every locally bounded lattice is locally subbounded, and every locally ...

A topological space X is locally compact if every point has a neighborhood which is itself contained in a compact set. Many familiar topological spaces are locally compact, ...

A topology tau on a topological vector space X=(X,tau) (with X usually assumed to be T2) is said to be locally convex if tau admits a local base at 0 consisting of balanced, ...

A graph Gamma is locally Petersen if, for each point t of Gamma, the graph induced by Gamma on all points adjacent to t (i.e., the neighborhood graph) is isomorphic to the ...

Let L be a lattice (or a bounded lattice or a complemented lattice, etc.), and let C_L be the covering relation of L: C_L={(x,y) in L^2|x covers y or y covers x}. Then C_L is ...

A lattice L is locally subbounded if and only if each of its finite subsets is contained in a finitely generated bounded sublattice of L. Every locally bounded lattice is ...

A locus is the set of all points (usually forming a curve or surface) satisfying some condition. For example, the locus of points in the plane equidistant from a given point ...
