Constant sheafIn mathematics, the constant sheaf on a topological space associated to a set is a sheaf of sets on whose stalks are all equal to . It is denoted by or . The constant presheaf with value is the presheaf that assigns to each non-empty open subset of the value , and all of whose restriction maps are the identity map . The constant sheaf associated to is the sheafification of the constant presheaf associated to . This sheaf identifies with the sheaf of locally constant -valued functions on .
Ringed spaceIn mathematics, a ringed space is a family of (commutative) rings parametrized by open subsets of a topological space together with ring homomorphisms that play roles of restrictions. Precisely, it is a topological space equipped with a sheaf of rings called a structure sheaf. It is an abstraction of the concept of the rings of continuous (scalar-valued) functions on open subsets. Among ringed spaces, especially important and prominent is a locally ringed space: a ringed space in which the analogy between the stalk at a point and the ring of germs of functions at a point is valid.
Leray spectral sequenceIn mathematics, the Leray spectral sequence was a pioneering example in homological algebra, introduced in 1946 by Jean Leray. It is usually seen nowadays as a special case of the Grothendieck spectral sequence. Let be a continuous map of topological spaces, which in particular gives a functor from sheaves of abelian groups on to sheaves of abelian groups on .
HomomorphismIn algebra, a homomorphism is a structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures of the same type (such as two groups, two rings, or two vector spaces). The word homomorphism comes from the Ancient Greek language: ὁμός () meaning "same" and μορφή () meaning "form" or "shape". However, the word was apparently introduced to mathematics due to a (mis)translation of German ähnlich meaning "similar" to ὁμός meaning "same". The term "homomorphism" appeared as early as 1892, when it was attributed to the German mathematician Felix Klein (1849–1925).
Ideal sheafIn algebraic geometry and other areas of mathematics, an ideal sheaf (or sheaf of ideals) is the global analogue of an ideal in a ring. The ideal sheaves on a geometric object are closely connected to its subspaces. Let X be a topological space and A a sheaf of rings on X. (In other words, (X, A) is a ringed space.) An ideal sheaf J in A is a subobject of A in the of sheaves of A-modules, i.e., a subsheaf of A viewed as a sheaf of abelian groups such that Γ(U, A) · Γ(U, J) ⊆ Γ(U, J) for all open subsets U of X.
Spirit (rover)Spirit (« Esprit » en anglais), alias MER-A (Mars Exploration Rover - A), est l'un des deux astromobiles de la mission Mars Exploration Rover de l'agence spatiale américaine, la NASA, lancé vers la planète Mars en 2003. L'engin qui s'est posé sur Mars le 4 janvier 2004 dans le cratère Goussev avait pour but d'étudier la géologie de Mars et de déterminer en particulier le rôle joué par l'eau dans l'histoire de la planète. Sa mission qui devait durer 90 jours s'est achevée officiellement en mars 2010.
Faisceau injectifEn mathématiques, un faisceau injectif est un d'une catégorie abélienne de faisceaux. Typiquement, dans la catégorie des faisceaux de groupes abéliens sur un espace topologique fixé, un faisceau est dit injectif lorsque, pour tout sous-faisceau d'un faisceau , tout morphisme injectif de dans se prolonge en un morphisme de dans . Autrement dit, le foncteur (contravariant) exact à gauche est exact. On en déduit immédiatement : Pour tout point de , il existe un plongement de la fibre dans un groupe abélien injectif .
Image functors for sheavesIn mathematics, especially in sheaf theory—a domain applied in areas such as topology, logic and algebraic geometry—there are four image functors for sheaves that belong together in various senses. Given a continuous mapping f: X → Y of topological spaces, and the Sh(–) of sheaves of abelian groups on a topological space. The functors in question are f∗ : Sh(X) → Sh(Y) f∗ : Sh(Y) → Sh(X) f! : Sh(X) → Sh(Y) Rf! : D(Sh(Y)) → D(Sh(X)).
Perverse sheafThe mathematical term perverse sheaves refers to a certain associated to a topological space X, which may be a real or complex manifold, or a more general topologically stratified space, usually singular. This concept was introduced in the thesis of Zoghman Mebkhout, gaining more popularity after the (independent) work of Joseph Bernstein, Alexander Beilinson, and Pierre Deligne (1982) as a formalisation of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, which related the topology of singular spaces (intersection homology of Mark Goresky and Robert MacPherson) and the algebraic theory of differential equations (microlocal calculus and holonomic D-modules of Joseph Bernstein, Masaki Kashiwara and Takahiro Kawai).
Invertible sheafIn mathematics, an invertible sheaf is a sheaf on a ringed space which has an inverse with respect to tensor product of sheaves of modules. It is the equivalent in algebraic geometry of the topological notion of a line bundle. Due to their interactions with Cartier divisors, they play a central role in the study of algebraic varieties. Let (X, OX) be a ringed space. Isomorphism classes of sheaves of OX-modules form a monoid under the operation of tensor product of OX-modules. The identity element for this operation is OX itself.
OpportunityOpportunity (« Opportunité, Occasion » en anglais), alias MER-B (Mars Exploration Rover - B), est la deuxième astromobile de la mission Mars Exploration Rover de l'agence spatiale américaine, la NASA, lancé vers la planète Mars en 2003. L'engin qui s'est posé sur Mars le dans la région équatoriale de Terra Meridiani avait pour but d'étudier la géologie de Mars et de déterminer en particulier le rôle joué par l'eau dans l'histoire de la planète. Sa mission qui devait durer 90 jours s'est achevée officiellement en février 2019.
Mars Exploration RoverMars Exploration Rover (MER) est une mission double de la NASA lancée en 2003 et composée de deux robots mobiles ayant pour objectif d'étudier la géologie de la planète Mars, en particulier le rôle joué par l'eau dans l'histoire de la planète. Les deux astromobiles ont été lancés au début de l'été 2003 et se sont posés en sur deux sites martiens susceptibles d'avoir conservé des traces de l'action de l'eau dans leur sol.
