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 ...

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.

A subset of a topological space is called clopen if it is both closed and open.

The closed ball with center x and radius r is defined by B_r(x)={y:|y-x|<=r}.

An n-dimensional closed disk of radius r is the collection of points of distance <=r from a fixed point in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Krantz (1999, p. 3) uses the symbol ...
