A section of a fiber bundle gives an element of the fiber over every point in B. Usually it is described as a map s:B->E such that pi degreess is the identity on B. A ...

A set of planes sharing a point in common. For planes specified in Hessian normal form, a bundle of planes can therefore be specified as ...

The integral transform defined by (Kphi)(x)=int_0^infty(x^2-t^2)_+^(lambda/2)P_nu^lambda(t/x)phi(t)dt, where y_+^alpha is the truncated power function and P_nu^lambda(x) is ...

A C^*-algebra is a Banach algebra with an antiautomorphic involution * which satisfies (x^*)^* = x (1) x^*y^* = (yx)^* (2) x^*+y^* = (x+y)^* (3) (cx)^* = c^_x^*, (4) where ...

A representation of a C^*-algebra A is a pair (H,phi) where H is a Hilbert space and phi:A->B(H) is a *-homomorphism. (H,phi) is said to be faithful if phi is injective. For ...

The Riemann sphere C^*=C union {infty}, also called the extended complex plane. The notation C^^ is sometimes also used (Krantz 1999, p. 82). The notation C^* is also used to ...

The field of complex numbers, denoted C.

If X is any space, then there is a CW-complex Y and a map f:Y->X inducing isomorphisms on all homotopy, homology, and cohomology groups.

Let K_1 be a torus knot. Then the satellite knot with companion knot K_2 is a cable knot on K_2.

A Mandelbrot set-like fractal obtained by iterating the map z_(n+1)=z_n^3+(z_0-1)z_n-z_0.
