Let P(L) be the set of all prime ideals of L, and define r(a)={P|a not in P}. Then the Stone space of L is the topological space defined on P(L) by postulating that the sets ...

A knot used to prevent the end of a string from slipping through a hole.

A set that is a smooth embedded two-dimensional manifold except for a subset that consists of smooth embedded curves, except for a set of isolated points.

A submersion is a smooth map f:M->N when dimM>=dimN, given that the differential, or Jacobian, is surjective at every x in M. The basic example of a submersion is the ...

An ordinary knot in three dimensions suspended in four dimensions to create a knotted 2-sphere. Suspended knots are not smooth at the poles.

A pair (M,omega), where M is a manifold and omega is a symplectic form on M. The phase space R^(2n)=R^n×R^n is a symplectic manifold. Near every point on a symplectic ...

For any two points x,y in X, there is an open set U such that x in U and y not in U or y in U and x not in U. A space fulfilling this axiom is called a T0-space.

A topological space fulfilling the T0-separation axiom: For any two points x,y in X, there is an open set U such that x in U and y not in U or y in U and x not in U. ...

For any two points x,y in X there exists two open sets U and V such that x in U and y not in U, and y in V and x not in V. A space satisfying this axiom is known as a ...

X fulfils the T1-separation axiom and is regular. A space satisfying the T_3-separation axiom is said to be a T3-space.
