Embedded Submanifold
In mathematics, a submanifold of a manifold ''M'' is a subset ''S'' which itself has the structure of a manifold, and for which the inclusion map satisfies certain properties. There are different types of submanifolds depending on exactly which properties are required. Different authors often have different definitions. Formal definition In the following we assume all manifolds are differentiable manifolds of class ''C''''r'' for a fixed , and all morphisms are differentiable of class ''C''''r''. Immersed submanifolds An immersed submanifold of a manifold ''M'' is the image ''S'' of an immersion map ; in general this image will not be a submanifold as a subset, and an immersion map need not even be injective (one-to-one) – it can have self-intersections. More narrowly, one can require that the map be an injection (one-to-one), in which we call it an injective immersion, and define an immersed submanifold to be the image subset ''S'' together with a topology and differentia ...

Lie Group
In mathematics, a Lie group (pronounced ) is a group that is also a differentiable manifold. A manifold is a space that locally resembles Euclidean space, whereas groups define the abstract concept of a binary operation along with the additional properties it must have to be thought of as a "transformation" in the abstract sense, for instance multiplication and the taking of inverses (division), or equivalently, the concept of addition and the taking of inverses (subtraction). Combining these two ideas, one obtains a continuous group where multiplying points and their inverses are continuous. If the multiplication and taking of inverses are smooth (differentiable) as well, one obtains a Lie group. Lie groups provide a natural model for the concept of continuous symmetry, a celebrated example of which is the rotational symmetry in three dimensions (given by the special orthogonal group \text(3)). Lie groups are widely used in many parts of modern mathematics and physics. Lie ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Neat Submanifold
In differential topology, an area of mathematics, a neat submanifold of a manifold with boundary is a kind of "well-behaved" submanifold. To define this more precisely, first let :M be a manifold with boundary, and :A be a submanifold of M. Then A is said to be a neat submanifold of M if it meets the following two conditions:. *The boundary of A is a subset of the boundary of M. That is, \partial A \subset \partial M. *Each point of A has a neighborhood within which A's embedding in M is equivalent to the embedding of a hyperplane in a higher-dimensional Euclidean space. More formally, A must be covered by charts (U, \phi) of M such that A \cap U = \phi^(\mathbb^m) where m is the dimension For instance, in the category of smooth manifolds, this means that the embedding of A must also be smooth. See also *Local flatness In topology, a branch of mathematics, local flatness is smoothness condition that can be imposed on topological submanifolds. In the category of topological ...

Schoenflies Theorem
Arthur Moritz Schoenflies (; 17 April 1853 – 27 May 1928), sometimes written as Schönflies, was a German mathematician, known for his contributions to the application of group theory to crystallography, and for work in topology. Schoenflies was born in Landsberg an der Warthe (modern Gorzów, Poland). Arthur Schoenflies married Emma Levin (1868–1939) in 1896. He studied under Ernst Kummer and Karl Weierstrass, and was influenced by Felix Klein. The Schoenflies problem is to prove that an (n - 1)-sphere in Euclidean ''n''-space bounds a topological ball, however embedded. This question is much more subtle than it initially appears. He studied at the University of Berlin from 1870 to 1875. He obtained a doctorate in 1877, and in 1878 he was a teacher at a school in Berlin. In 1880, he went to Colmar to teach. Schoenflies was a frequent contributor to Klein's encyclopedia: In 1898 he wrote on set theory, in 1902 on kinematics, and on projective geometry in 1910. He was a g ...

Alexander's Theorem
In mathematics Alexander's theorem states that every knot or link can be represented as a closed braid; that is, a braid in which the corresponding ends of the strings are connected in pairs. The theorem is named after James Waddell Alexander II, who published a proof in 1923. Braids were first considered as a tool of knot theory In the mathematical field of topology, knot theory is the study of knot (mathematics), mathematical knots. While inspired by knots which appear in daily life, such as those in shoelaces and rope, a mathematical knot differs in that the ends are ... by Alexander. His theorem gives a positive answer to the question ''Is it always possible to transform a given knot into a closed braid?'' A good construction example is found in Colin Adams's book. However, the correspondence between knots and braids is clearly not one-to-one: a knot may have many braid representations. For example, conjugate braids yield equivalent knots. This leads to a second fu ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Atlas (topology)
In mathematics, particularly topology, one describes a manifold using an atlas. An atlas consists of individual ''charts'' that, roughly speaking, describe individual regions of the manifold. If the manifold is the surface of the Earth, then an atlas has its more common meaning. In general, the notion of atlas underlies the formal definition of a manifold and related structures such as vector bundles and other fiber bundles. Charts The definition of an atlas depends on the notion of a ''chart''. A chart for a topological space ''M'' (also called a coordinate chart, coordinate patch, coordinate map, or local frame) is a homeomorphism \varphi from an open subset ''U'' of ''M'' to an open subset of a Euclidean space. The chart is traditionally recorded as the ordered pair (U, \varphi). Formal definition of atlas An atlas for a topological space M is an indexed family \ of charts on M which covers M (that is, \bigcup_ U_ = M). If the codomain of each chart is the ''n''-dimensiona ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Plane (mathematics)
In mathematics, a plane is a Euclidean space, Euclidean (flatness (mathematics), flat), two-dimensional surface (mathematics), surface that extends indefinitely. A plane is the two-dimensional analogue of a point (geometry), point (zero dimensions), a line (geometry), line (one dimension) and three-dimensional space. Planes can arise as Euclidean subspace, subspaces of some higher-dimensional space, as with one of a room's walls, infinitely extended, or they may enjoy an independent existence in their own right, as in the setting of two-dimensional Euclidean geometry. Sometimes the word ''plane'' is used more generally to describe a two-dimensional surface (mathematics), surface, for example the hyperbolic plane and elliptic plane. When working exclusively in two-dimensional Euclidean space, the definite article is used, so ''the'' plane refers to the whole space. Many fundamental tasks in mathematics, geometry, trigonometry, graph theory, and graph of a function, graphing are p ...

Embedding
In mathematics, an embedding (or imbedding) is one instance of some mathematical structure contained within another instance, such as a group that is a subgroup. When some object X is said to be embedded in another object Y, the embedding is given by some injective and structure-preserving map f:X\rightarrow Y. The precise meaning of "structure-preserving" depends on the kind of mathematical structure of which X and Y are instances. In the terminology of category theory, a structure-preserving map is called a morphism. The fact that a map f:X\rightarrow Y is an embedding is often indicated by the use of a "hooked arrow" (); thus: f : X \hookrightarrow Y. (On the other hand, this notation is sometimes reserved for inclusion maps.) Given X and Y, several different embeddings of X in Y may be possible. In many cases of interest there is a standard (or "canonical") embedding, like those of the natural numbers in the integers, the integers in the rational numbers, the rational n ...
