1Ambient construction — In conformal geometry, the ambient construction refers to a construction of Charles Fefferman and Robin Graham [Fefferman, C. and Graham, R. Conformal invariants , in Élie Cartan et les Mathématiques d Aujourdui , Asterisque (1985), 95 116.] for… …
2Cartan connection — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a Cartan connection is a flexible generalization of the notion of an affine connection. It may also be regarded as a specialization of the general concept of a principal connection, in which the …
3Jet (mathematics) — In mathematics, the jet is an operation which takes a differentiable function f and produces a polynomial, the truncated Taylor polynomial of f , at each point of its domain. Although this is the definition of a jet, the theory of jets regards… …

8List of astronomy acronyms — This is a compilation of acronyms commonly used in astronomy. Most of the acronyms are drawn from professional astronomy and are used quite frequently in scientific publications. However, a few of these acronyms are frequently used by the general …
9Vector space — This article is about linear (vector) spaces. For the structure in incidence geometry, see Linear space (geometry). Vector addition and scalar multiplication: a vector v (blue) is added to another vector w (red, upper illustration). Below, w is… …
10Associated bundle — In mathematics, the theory of fiber bundles with a structure group G (a topological group) allows an operation of creating an associated bundle, in which the typical fiber of a bundle changes from F 1 to F 2, which are both topological spaces… …
