Caractéristique d'EulerEn mathématiques, et plus précisément en géométrie et en topologie algébrique, la caractéristique d'Euler — ou d'Euler-Poincaré — est un invariant numérique, un nombre qui décrit un aspect d'une forme d'un espace topologique ou de la structure de cet espace. Elle est communément notée χ. La caractéristique d'Euler fut définie à l'origine pour les polyèdres et fut utilisée pour démontrer divers théorèmes les concernant, incluant la classification des solides de Platon.
Closed manifoldIn mathematics, a closed manifold is a manifold without boundary that is compact. In comparison, an open manifold is a manifold without boundary that has only non-compact components. The only connected one-dimensional example is a circle. The sphere, torus, and the Klein bottle are all closed two-dimensional manifolds. The real projective space RPn is a closed n-dimensional manifold. The complex projective space CPn is a closed 2n-dimensional manifold. A line is not closed because it is not compact.
P-adic valuationIn number theory, the p-adic valuation or p-adic order of an integer n is the exponent of the highest power of the prime number p that divides n. It is denoted . Equivalently, is the exponent to which appears in the prime factorization of . The p-adic valuation is a valuation and gives rise to an analogue of the usual absolute value. Whereas the completion of the rational numbers with respect to the usual absolute value results in the real numbers , the completion of the rational numbers with respect to the -adic absolute value results in the p-adic numbers .
Geometric genusIn algebraic geometry, the geometric genus is a basic birational invariant p_g of algebraic varieties and complex manifolds. The geometric genus can be defined for non-singular complex projective varieties and more generally for complex manifolds as the Hodge number h^n,0 (equal to h^0,n by Serre duality), that is, the dimension of the canonical linear system plus one. In other words for a variety V of complex dimension n it is the number of linearly independent holomorphic n-forms to be found on V.
Classe caractéristiqueUne classe caractéristique est un objet mathématique défini et étudié notamment en topologie algébrique et en K-théorie, afin de différencier les fibrés vectoriels. De telles classes sont aujourd'hui comprises comme des invariants cohomologiques. La notion de classe caractéristique répond à une tentative de classification. Plus précisément, si est un fibré vectoriel, une classe caractéristique de est une classe dans la cohomologie de la base qui vérifie la condition suivante, dite de compatibilité : pour toute application continue , on a où est le fibré vectoriel induit sur par .
Haken manifoldIn mathematics, a Haken manifold is a compact, P2-irreducible 3-manifold that is sufficiently large, meaning that it contains a properly embedded two-sided incompressible surface. Sometimes one considers only orientable Haken manifolds, in which case a Haken manifold is a compact, orientable, irreducible 3-manifold that contains an orientable, incompressible surface. A 3-manifold finitely covered by a Haken manifold is said to be virtually Haken.
Map layoutMap layout, also called map composition or (cartographic) page layout, is the part of cartographic design that involves assembling various map elements on a page. This may include the map image itself, along with titles, legends, scale indicators, inset maps, and other elements. It follows principles similar to page layout in graphic design, such as balance, gestalt, and visual hierarchy. The term map composition is also used for the assembling of features and symbols within the map image itself, which can cause some confusion; these two processes share a few common design principles but are distinct procedures in practice.
Variété topologiqueEn topologie, une variété topologique est un espace topologique, éventuellement séparé, assimilable localement à un espace euclidien. Les variétés topologiques constituent une classe importante des espaces topologiques, avec des applications à tous les domaines des mathématiques. Le terme variété peut désigner une variété topologique, ou, le plus souvent, une variété topologique munie d'une autre structure. Par exemple, une variété différentielle est une variété topologique munie d'une structure permettant le calcul différentiel.
Coherent sheaf cohomologyIn mathematics, especially in algebraic geometry and the theory of complex manifolds, coherent sheaf cohomology is a technique for producing functions with specified properties. Many geometric questions can be formulated as questions about the existence of sections of line bundles or of more general coherent sheaves; such sections can be viewed as generalized functions. Cohomology provides computable tools for producing sections, or explaining why they do not exist. It also provides invariants to distinguish one algebraic variety from another.
Hyperkähler manifoldIn differential geometry, a hyperkähler manifold is a Riemannian manifold endowed with three integrable almost complex structures that are Kähler with respect to the Riemannian metric and satisfy the quaternionic relations . In particular, it is a hypercomplex manifold. All hyperkähler manifolds are Ricci-flat and are thus Calabi–Yau manifolds. Hyperkähler manifolds were defined by Eugenio Calabi in 1979. Equivalently, a hyperkähler manifold is a Riemannian manifold of dimension whose holonomy group is contained in the compact symplectic group Sp(n).
Linear algebraic groupIn mathematics, a linear algebraic group is a subgroup of the group of invertible matrices (under matrix multiplication) that is defined by polynomial equations. An example is the orthogonal group, defined by the relation where is the transpose of . Many Lie groups can be viewed as linear algebraic groups over the field of real or complex numbers. (For example, every compact Lie group can be regarded as a linear algebraic group over R (necessarily R-anisotropic and reductive), as can many noncompact groups such as the simple Lie group SL(n,R).
Classe d'EulerEn topologie algébrique, la classe d’Euler est une classe caractéristique d'un fibré vectoriel réel orienté. Elle mesure l’obstruction à trouver une section d’un fibré qui ne s’annule pas. Cette notion trouve son origine dans la théorie de l'homologie. Soit ξ un fibré vectoriel réel orienté de rang sur une variété compacte orientée de dimension . Une section générique de ξ est transverse à la section nulle. Par conséquent, le lieu de ses zéros est une sous-variété compacte sans bord orientée de dimension -, elle possède une classe d’homologie [] qui ne dépend pas du choix de la section.
