  2. Karol Borsuk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Borsuk

    Karol Borsuk (8 May 1905 – 24 January 1982) was a Polish mathematician. His main area of interest was topology . He made significant contributions to shape theory , a term which he coined.

  3. Retraction (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retraction_(topology)

    A space is an absolute neighborhood retract for the class , written ⁡ (), if is in and whenever is a closed subset of a space in , is a neighborhood retract of . Various classes C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}} such as normal spaces have been considered in this definition, but the class M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} of metrizable spaces ...

  4. Section (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(category_theory)

    The concept in topology was defined by Karol Borsuk in 1931. [ 2 ] Borsuk's student, Samuel Eilenberg , was with Saunders Mac Lane the founder of category theory, and (as the earliest publications on category theory concerned various topological spaces) one might have expected this term to have initially be used.

  5. Balance sheet recession - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_sheet_recession

    In a balance sheet recession, GDP declines by the amount of debt repayment and un-borrowed individual savings, leaving government stimulus spending as the primary remedy. [3] [4] [7] Koo wrote in 2010 that firms may switch from a profit maximization objective to debt minimization until they are solvent (i.e., equity is positive). This may take ...

  6. Balance sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_sheet

    A balance sheet is often described as a "snapshot of a company's financial condition". [1] It is the summary of each and every financial statement of an organization. Of the four basic financial statements, the balance sheet is the only statement which applies to a single point in time of a business's calendar year. [2]

  7. Shape theory (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_theory_(mathematics)

    Shape theory is a branch of topology that provides a more global view of the topological spaces than homotopy theory. The two coincide on compacta dominated homotopically by finite polyhedra . Shape theory associates with the Čech homology theory while homotopy theory associates with the singular homology theory.

  8. Borsuk's conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borsuk's_conjecture

    [7] For all n for fields of revolution — shown by Boris Dekster (1995). [8] The problem was finally solved in 1993 by Jeff Kahn and Gil Kalai, who showed that the general answer to Borsuk's question is no. [9] They claim that their construction shows that n + 1 pieces do not suffice for n = 1325 and for each n > 2014.

  9. Bing–Borsuk conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing–Borsuk_conjecture

    In mathematics, the Bing–Borsuk conjecture states that every -dimensional homogeneous absolute neighborhood retract space is a topological manifold. The conjecture has been proved for dimensions 1 and 2, and it is known that the 3-dimensional version of the conjecture implies the Poincaré conjecture .
