A real vector bundle pi:E->M has an orientation if there exists a covering by trivializations U_i×R^k such that the transition functions are vector space ...

The rank of a vector bundle is the dimension of its fiber. Equivalently, it is the maximum number of linearly independent local bundle sections in a trivialization. ...

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 ...

In the theory of transfinite ordinal numbers, 1. Every well ordered set has a unique ordinal number, 2. Every segment of ordinals (i.e., any set of ordinals arranged in ...

Gives a matrix representation b_i of a braid group in terms of (n-1)×(n-1) matrices. A -t always appears in the (i,i) position. b_1 = [-t 0 0 ... 0; -1 1 0 ... 0; 0 0 1 ... ...

The partial differential equation u_t+uu_x=nuu_(xx) (Benton and Platzman 1972; Zwillinger 1995, p. 417; Zwillinger 1997, p. 130). The so-called nonplanar Burgers equation is ...

The variety which is an invariant of degree four and is given by the equation y_0^4-y_0(y_1^3+y_2^3+y_3^3+y_4^3)+3y_1y_2y_3y_4=0.

Lockwood (1957) terms the ellipse negative pedal curve with pedal point at the focus "Burleigh's oval" in honor of his student M. J. Burleigh, who first drew his attention to ...

Bonato et al. (2014, 2015) defined the burning number of a simple graph as follows. Consider a process called burning involving are discrete time steps. Each node is either ...
