Let X and Y be topological spaces. Then their join is the factor space X*Y=(X×Y×I)/∼, (1) where ∼ is the equivalence relation (x,y,t)∼(x^',y^',t^')<=>{t=t^'=0 and x=x^'; or ; ...

A spectrum sequence is a sequence formed by successive multiples of a real number a rounded down to the nearest integer s_n=|_na_|. If a is irrational, the spectrum is called ...

The maximum cardinal number of a collection of subsets of a t-element set T, none of which contains another, is the binomial coefficient (t; |_t/2_|), where |_x_| is the ...

A polynomial p(x)=sumc_ix^i is said to split over a field K if p(x)=aproduct_(i)(x-alpha_i) where a and alpha_i are in K. Then the polynomial is said to split into linear ...

A link L is said to be splittable if a plane can be embedded in R^3 such that the plane separates one or more components of L from other components of L and the plane is ...

A three-dimensional knot spun about a plane in four dimensions. Unlike suspended knots, spun knots are smoothly embedded at the poles.

A function f(x) is said to be square integrable if int_(-infty)^infty|f(x)|^2dx is finite.

A notation for large numbers defined by Steinhaus (1983, pp. 28-29). In this notation, denotes n^n, denotes "n in n triangles," and denotes "n in n squares." A modified ...

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

Two numbers which are relatively prime.
