Aspherical space — In topology, an aspherical space is a topological space with all higher homotopy groups equal to {0}. If one works with CW complexes, one can reformulate this condition: an aspherical CW complex is a CW complex whose universal cover is… … Wikipedia
Essential manifold — In mathematics, in algebraic topology and differential geometry, the notion of an essential manifold seems to have been first introduced explicitly in Mikhail Gromov s classic text in 83 (see below). DefinitionA closed manifold M is called… … Wikipedia
Gromov's systolic inequality for essential manifolds — In Riemannian geometry, M. Gromov s systolic inequality for essential n manifolds M dates from 1983. It is a lower bound for the volume of an arbitrary metric on M, in terms of its homotopy 1 systole. The homotopy 1 systole is the least length of … Wikipedia
Cohomological dimension — In abstract algebra, cohomological dimension is an invariant which measures the homological complexity of representations of a group. It has important applications in geometric group theory, topology, and algebraic number theory. Contents 1… … Wikipedia
Borel conjecture — In mathematics, specifically geometric topology, the Borel conjecture asserts that an aspherical closed manifold is determined by its fundamental group, up to homeomorphism. It is a rigidity conjecture, demanding that a weak, algebraic notion of… … Wikipedia
Geometrization conjecture — Thurston s geometrization conjecture states that compact 3 manifolds can be decomposed canonically into submanifolds that have geometric structures. The geometrization conjecture is an analogue for 3 manifolds of the uniformization theorem for… … Wikipedia
Sectional curvature — In Riemannian geometry, the sectional curvature is one of the ways to describe the curvature of Riemannian manifolds. The sectional curvature K(σp) depends on a two dimensional plane σp in the tangent space at p. It is the Gaussian curvature of… … Wikipedia
Seifert fiber space — A Seifert fiber space is a 3 manifold together with a nice decomposition as a disjoint union of circles. In other words it is a S^1 bundle (circle bundle) over a 2 dimensional orbifold. Most small 3 manifolds are Seifert fiber spaces, and they… … Wikipedia
Space form — In mathematics, a space form is a complete Riemannian manifold M of constant sectional curvature K . Reduction to generalized crystallographyIt is a theorem of Riemannian geometry that the universal cover of an n dimensional space form M^n with… … Wikipedia
