Consider the set of compact n-Riemannian manifolds M with diameter(M)<=d, Volume(M)>=V, and |K|<=kappa where kappa is the sectional curvature. Then there is a bound on the ...

A fake knot (i.e., a knot equivalent to the unknot) created by tying a square knot, then looping one end twice through the knot such that when both ends are pulled, the knot ...

A circle bundle pi:E->M is a fiber bundle whose fibers pi^(-1)(x) are circles. It may also have the structure of a principal bundle if there is an action of SO(2) that ...

A compact manifold without boundary.

Let p be a non-wandering point of a diffeomorphism S:M->M of a compact manifold. The closing lemma concerns if S can be arbitrarily well approximated with derivatives of ...

The clove hitch is the hitch illustrated above that is also called the boatman's knot or peg knot.

A complex vector bundle is a vector bundle pi:E->M whose fiber bundle pi^(-1)(x) is a complex vector space. It is not necessarily a complex manifold, even if its base ...

A complex vector space is a vector space whose field of scalars is the complex numbers. A linear transformation between complex vector spaces is given by a matrix with ...

Let L be a link in R^3 and let there be a disk D in the link complement R^3-L. Then a surface F such that D intersects F exactly in its boundary and its boundary does not ...

A concordance between knots K_0 and K_1 in S^3 is a locally flat cylinder C=S^1×[0,1] embedded in S^3×[0,1] in such a way that the ends S^1×{1} are embedded in S^3×{i} as ...
