Whitehead manifold — In mathematics, the Whitehead manifold is an open 3 manifold that is contractible, but not homeomorphic to R3. Henry Whitehead discovered this puzzling object while he was trying to prove the Poincaré conjecture.A contractible manifold is one… … Wikipedia
Haken manifold — In mathematics, a Haken manifold is a compact, P² irreducible 3 manifold that contains a two sided incompressible surface. Sometimes one considers only orientable Haken manifolds, in which case a Haken manifold is a compact, orientable,… … Wikipedia
Hilbert manifold — In mathematics, a Hilbert manifold is a manifold modeled on Hilbert spaces. Thus it is a separable Hausdorff space in which each point has a neighbourhood homeomorphic to an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. The concept of a Hilbert manifold… … Wikipedia
Homotopy — This article is about topology. For chemistry, see Homotopic groups. The two dashed paths shown above are homotopic relative to their endpoints. The animation represents one possible homotopy. In topology, two continuous functions from one… … Wikipedia
Stable normal bundle — In surgery theory, a branch of mathematics, the stable normal bundle of a differentiable manifold is an invariant which encodes the stable normal (dually, tangential) data. It is also called the Spivak normal bundle, after Michael Spivak… … Wikipedia
Covering space — A covering map satisfies the local triviality condition. Intuitively, such maps locally project a stack of pancakes above an open region, U, onto U. In mathematics, more specifically algebraic topology, a covering map is a continuous surjective… … Wikipedia
Timelike homotopy — On a Lorentzian manifold, certain curves are distinguished as timelike. A timelike homotopy between two timelike curves is a homotopy such that each intermediate curve is timelike. No closed timelike curve (CTC) on a Lorentzian manifold is… … Wikipedia
Normal invariant — In mathematics, a normal map is a concept in geometric topology due to William Browder which is of fundamental importance in surgery theory. Given a Poincaré complex X, a normal map on X endows the space, roughly speaking, with some of the… … Wikipedia
Grassmannian — In mathematics, a Grassmannian is a space which parameterizes all linear subspaces of a vector space V of a given dimension. For example, the Grassmannian Gr 1( V ) is the space of lines through the origin in V , so it is the same as the… … Wikipedia
Degree of a continuous mapping — This article is about the term degree as used in algebraic topology. For other uses, see degree (mathematics). A degree two map of a sphere onto itself. In topology, the degree is a numerical invariant that describes a continuous mapping between… … Wikipedia
homotopy — /heuh mot euh pee, hoh /, n., pl. homotopies. Math. the relation that exists between two mappings in a topological space if one mapping can be deformed in a continuous way to make it coincide with the other. [1915 20; HOMO + topy ( < Gr tóp(os)… … Universalium
