Properly discontinuous action — In topology and related branches of mathematics, an action of a group G on a topological space X is called proper if the map from G×X to X×X taking (g,x) to (gx,x) is proper, and is called properly discontinuous if in addition G is discrete.… … Wikipedia
Group action — This article is about the mathematical concept. For the sociology term, see group action (sociology). Given an equilateral triangle, the counterclockwise rotation by 120° around the center of the triangle acts on the set of vertices of the… … Wikipedia
Hyperbolic group — In group theory, a hyperbolic group, also known as a word hyperbolic group, Gromov hyperbolic group, negatively curved group is a finitely generated group equipped with a word metric satisfying certain properties characteristic of hyperbolic… … Wikipedia
Geometric group action — In mathematics, specifically geometric group theory, a geometric group action is a certain type of action of a discrete group on a metric space.DefinitionIn geometric group theory, a geometry is any proper, geodesic metric space. An action of a… … Wikipedia
Orbifold — This terminology should not be blamed on me. It was obtained by a democratic process in my course of 1976 77. An orbifold is something with many folds; unfortunately, the word “manifold” already has a different definition. I tried “foldamani”,… … 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
Ping-pong lemma — In mathematics, the ping pong lemma, or table tennis lemma, is any of several mathematical statements which ensure that several elements in a group acting on a set freely generate a free subgroup of that group.HistoryThe ping pong argument goes… … Wikipedia
Kazhdan's property (T) — In mathematics, a locally compact topological group G has property (T) if the trivial representation is an isolated point in its unitary dual equipped with the Fell topology. Informally, this means that if G acts unitarily on a Hilbert space and… … Wikipedia

Graph of groups — In geometric group theory, a graph of groups is an object consisting of a collection of groups indexed by the vertices and edges of a graph, together with a family of injective homomorphisms of the edge groups into the vertex groups.There is a… … Wikipedia
