The plumbing of a p-sphere and a q-sphere is defined as the disjoint union of S^p×D^q and D^p×S^q with their common D^p×D^q, identified via the identity homeomorphism. This ...

The surface corresponding to the region of obscuration when a solid is illuminated from a point light source (located at the radiant point). A disk is the shadow of a sphere ...

A closed geometric figure on the surface of a sphere which is formed by the arcs of great circles. The spherical polygon is a generalization of the spherical triangle. If ...

To each epsilon>0, there corresponds a delta such that ||f-g||<epsilon whenever ||f||=||g||=1 and ||(f+g)/2||>1-delta. This is a geometric property of the unit sphere of ...

The above topological structure, composed of a countable union of compact sets, is called Alexander's horned sphere. It is homeomorphic with the ball B^3, and its boundary is ...

A Bloch vector is a unit vector (cosphisintheta, sinphisintheta, costheta) used to represent points on a Bloch sphere.

Cohomotopy groups are similar to homotopy groups. A cohomotopy group is a group related to the homotopy classes of maps from a space X into a sphere S^n.

A compact surface is a surface which is also a compact set. A compact surface has a triangulation with a finite number of triangles. The sphere and torus are compact.

A curve on the unit sphere S^2 is an eversion if it has no corners or cusps (but it may be self-intersecting). These properties are guaranteed by requiring that the curve's ...

A generalization of a solid such as a cube or a sphere to more than three dimensions. A four-dimensional version of a polyhedron is known as a polytope.
