Intersection form (4-manifold) — In mathematics, the intersection form of an oriented compact 4 manifold is a special symmetric bilinear form on the 2nd cohomology group of the 4 manifold. It reflects much of the topology of the 4 manifolds, including information on the… … Wikipedia
Complex spin structure — In mathematics a complex spin group Spin C ( n ) is a generalized form of a spin group. Although not all manifolds admit a spin group, all 4 manifolds admit a complex spin group.Scorpan, A., 2005 The Wild World of 4 Manifolds] The complex spin… … Wikipedia
Holonomy — Parallel transport on a sphere depends on the path. Transporting from A → N → B → A yields a vector different from the initial vector. This failure to return to the initial vector is measured by the holonomy of the connection. In differential… … Wikipedia
Rokhlin's theorem — In 4 dimensional topology, a branch of mathematics, Rokhlin s theorem states that if a smooth, compact 4 manifold M has a spin structure (or, equivalently, the second Stiefel Whitney class w 2( M ) vanishes), then the signature of its… … Wikipedia
Clifford analysis — Clifford analysis, using Clifford algebras named after William Kingdon Clifford, is the study of Dirac operators, and Dirac type operators in analysis and geometry, together with their applications. Examples of Dirac type operators include, but… … Wikipedia
