torsion form
11torsion — n. [L. torquere, to twist] 1. Spiral bending; twisting. 2. (MOLLUSCA: Gastropoda) The theory in ancestral gastropods that a 180 degree counterclockwise twisting occurred that caused the crossing of the pleural visceral connectives in the nervous… …
12Connection form — In mathematics, and specifically differential geometry, a connection form is a manner of organizing the data of a connection using the language of moving frames and differential forms. Historically, connection forms were introduced by Élie Cartan …
13Curvature form — In differential geometry, the curvature form describes curvature of a connection on a principal bundle. It can be considered as an alternative to or generalization of curvature tensor in Riemannian geometry. Contents 1 Definition 1.1 Curvature… …
14Whitehead torsion — In mathematics, Whitehead torsion is an invariant of an h cobordism in a Whitehead group, that is important in simple homotopy theory and surgery theory. It is named for J. H. C. Whitehead.Whitehead torsionSuppose that W is an h cobordism from M… …
15Intersection 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… …
16Balance of torsion — Balance Bal ance (b[a^]l ans), n. [OE. balaunce, F. balance, fr. L. bilanx, bilancis, having two scales; bis twice (akin to E. two) + lanx plate, scale.] 1. An apparatus for weighing. [1913 Webster] Note: In its simplest form, a balance consists… …
17Dystonia, torsion — A form of dystonia known as early onset torsion dystonia (also called idiopathic or generalized torsion dystonia) begins in childhood around the age of 12. Symptoms typically start in one part of the body, usually in an arm or leg, and eventually …
18Second fundamental form — In differential geometry, the second fundamental form is a quadratic form on the tangent plane of a smooth surface in the three dimensional Euclidean space, usually denoted by II. Together with the first fundamental form, it serves to define… …
19Dystonia, idiopathic torsion — A form of dystonia known as early onset torsion dystonia (also called generalized torsion dystonia) begins in childhood around the age of 12. Symptoms typically start in one part of the body, usually in an arm or leg, and eventually spread to the …
20Solder form — In mathematics, more precisely in differential geometry, a soldering (or sometimes solder form) of a fibre bundle to a smooth manifold is a manner of attaching the fibres to the manifold in such a way that they can be regarded as tangent.… …
