61Grassmannian — In mathematics, a Grassmannian is a space which parameterizes all linear subspaces of a vector space V of a given dimension. For example, the Grassmannian Gr 1( V ) is the space of lines through the origin in V , so it is the same as the… …
62Divisor (algebraic geometry) — In algebraic geometry, divisors are a generalization of codimension one subvarieties of algebraic varieties; two different generalizations are in common use, Cartier divisors and Weil divisors (named for Pierre Cartier and André Weil). These… …
63Connection (principal bundle) — This article is about connections on principal bundles. See connection (mathematics) for other types of connections in mathematics. In mathematics, a connection is a device that defines a notion of parallel transport on the bundle; that is, a way …
64RH Bing — (October 20, 1914 April 28, 1986) was an influential American mathematician. He worked mainly in the area of topology, where he made many important contributions. His influence can be seen through the number of mathematicians that can trace their …
65Real 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… …
66Floer homology — is a mathematical tool used in the study of symplectic geometry and low dimensional topology. First introduced by Andreas Floer in his proof of the Arnold conjecture in symplectic geometry, Floer homology is a novel homology theory arising as an… …
67Derivative — This article is an overview of the term as used in calculus. For a less technical overview of the subject, see Differential calculus. For other uses, see Derivative (disambiguation) …
68Atiyah–Singer index theorem — In the mathematics of manifolds and differential operators, the Atiyah–Singer index theorem states that for an elliptic differential operator on a compact manifold, the analytical index (closely related to the dimension of the space of solutions) …
69Affine connection — An affine connection on the sphere rolls the affine tangent plane from one point to another. As it does so, the point of contact traces out a curve in the plane: the development. In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an… …
70Holonomy — 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… …
