Free loop — In the mathematical field of topology, a free loop is a variant of the mathematical notion of a loop. Whereas a loop has a distinguished point on it, called a basepoint, a free loop lacks such a distinguished point. Formally, let X be a… … Wikipedia
Rational homotopy theory — In mathematics, rational homotopy theory is the study of the rational homotopy type of a space, which means roughly that one ignores all torsion in the homotopy groups. It was started by Dennis Sullivan (1977) and Daniel Quillen (1969) … Wikipedia
Out(Fn) — In mathematics, Out(Fn) is the outer automorphism group of a free group on n generators. These groups play an important role in geometric group theory. Contents 1 Outer space 1.1 Definition 1.2 Connection to length fun … Wikipedia
Conjugacy class — In mathematics, especially group theory, the elements of any group may be partitioned into conjugacy classes; members of the same conjugacy class share many properties, and study of conjugacy classes of non abelian groups reveals many important… … Wikipedia
Isospectral — In mathematics, two linear operators are called isospectral or cospectral if they have the same spectrum. Roughly speaking, they are supposed to have the same sets of eigenvalues, when those are counted with multiplicity. The theory of… … Wikipedia
Fundamental group — In mathematics, the fundamental group is one of the basic concepts of algebraic topology. Associated with every point of a topological space there is a fundamental group that conveys information about the 1 dimensional structure of the portion of … Wikipedia
Singular homology — In algebraic topology, a branch of mathematics, singular homology refers to the study of a certain set of topological invariants of a topological space X , the so called homology groups H n(X). Singular homology is a particular example of a… … Wikipedia
Classifying space — In mathematics, specifically in homotopy theory, a classifying space BG of a topological group G is the quotient of a weakly contractible space EG (i.e. a topological space for which all its homotopy groups are trivial) by a free action of G. It… … Wikipedia
Link group — In knot theory, an area of mathematics, the link group of a link is an analog of the knot group of a knot. They were described by John Milnor in his Bachelor s thesis, (Milnor 1954). Contents 1 Definition 2 Examples 3 … Wikipedia
CW complex — In topology, a CW complex is a type of topological space introduced by J. H. C. Whitehead to meet the needs of homotopy theory. This class of spaces is broader and has some better categorical properties than simplicial complexes, but still… … 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
