Complex infinity is an infinite number in the complex plane whose complex argument is unknown or undefined. Complex infinity may be returned by the Wolfram Language, where it ...

A directed infinity in direction z is an infinite numerical quantity that is a positive real multiple of the complex number z. Directed infinity may be returned in the ...

The invariance of domain theorem states that if f:M->N is a one-to-one and continuous map between n-manifolds without boundary, then f is an open map.

A double bubble is pair of bubbles which intersect and are separated by a membrane bounded by the intersection. The usual double bubble is illustrated in the left figure ...

Exotic cohomology is a cohomology theory that extends index theory to a larger class of manifolds.

Donaldson (1983) showed there exists an exotic smooth differential structure on R^4. Donaldson's result has been extended to there being precisely a continuum of ...

Two closed simply connected 4-manifolds are homeomorphic iff they have the same bilinear form beta and the same Kirby-Siebenmann invariant kappa. Any beta can be realized by ...

A lens space L(p,q) is the 3-manifold obtained by gluing the boundaries of two solid tori together such that the meridian of the first goes to a (p,q)-curve on the second, ...

An n-dimensional open ball of radius r is the collection of points of distance less than r from a fixed point in Euclidean n-space. Explicitly, the open ball with center x ...

The plane spanned by the three points x(t), x(t+h_1), and x(t+h_2) on a curve as h_1,h_2->0. Let z be a point on the osculating plane, then [(z-x),x^',x^('')]=0, where ...
