projective topology
1Projective geometry — is a non metrical form of geometry, notable for its principle of duality. Projective geometry grew out of the principles of perspective art established during the Renaissance period, and was first systematically developed by Desargues in the 17th …
2Projective space — In mathematics a projective space is a set of elements constructed from a vector space such that a distinct element of the projective space consists of all non zero vectors which are equal up to a multiplication by a non zero scalar. A formal… …
3Projective unitary group — In mathematics, the projective unitary group PU( n ) is the quotient of the unitary group U( n ) by the right multiplication of its center, U(1), embedded as scalars.Abstractly, it is the isometry group of complex projective space, just as the… …
4Projective cone — A projective cone (or just cone) in projective geometry is the union of all lines that intersect a projective subspace R (the apex of the cone) and an arbitrary subset A (the basis) of some other subspace S , disjoint from R . In the special case …
5Initial topology — In general topology and related areas of mathematics, the initial topology (projective topology or weak topology) on a set X, with respect to a family of functions on X, is the coarsest topology on X which makes those functions continuous.The… …
6Complex projective space — The Riemann sphere, the one dimensional complex projective space, i.e. the complex projective line. In mathematics, complex projective space is the projective space with respect to the field of complex numbers. By analogy, whereas the points of a …
7Zariski topology — In algebraic geometry, the Zariski topology is a particular topology chosen for algebraic varieties that reflects the algebraic nature of their definition. It is due to Oscar Zariski and took a place of particular importance in the field around… …
8Real projective line — In real analysis, the real projective line (also called the one point compactification of the real line, or the projectively extended real numbers ), is the set mathbb{R}cup{infty}, also denoted by widehat{mathbb{R and by mathbb{R}P^1.The symbol… …
9Fake projective plane — For Freedman s example of a non smoothable manifold with the same homotopy type as the complex projective plane, see 4 manifold. In mathematics, a fake projective plane (or Mumford surface) is one of the 50 complex algebraic surfaces that have… …
10Real projective space — In mathematics, real projective space, or RP n is the projective space of lines in R n +1. It is a compact, smooth manifold of dimension n , and a special case of a Grassmannian.ConstructionAs with all projective spaces, RP n is formed by taking… …
