  2. Transversality (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    In mathematics, transversality is a notion that describes how spaces can intersect; transversality can be seen as the "opposite" of tangency, and plays a role in general position. It formalizes the idea of a generic intersection in differential topology. It is defined by considering the linearizations of the intersecting spaces at the points of ...

  3. Transversality theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversality_theorem

    There are several possibilities; see the book by Hirsch. What is usually understood by Thom's transversality theorem is a more powerful statement about jet transversality. See the books by Hirsch and by Golubitsky and Guillemin. The original reference is Thom, Bol. Soc. Mat. Mexicana (2) 1 (1956), pp. 59–71.

  4. Transversal (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    [10] An independent transversal (also called a rainbow-independent set or independent system of representatives ) is a transversal which is also an independent set of a given graph. To explain the difference in figurative terms, consider a faculty with m departments, where the faculty dean wants to construct a committee of m members, one member ...

  5. Thom space - Wikipedia

    The embedded manifold together with the isomorphism class of the normal bundle actually encodes the same information as the cobordism class []. This can be shown [ 2 ] by using a cobordism W {\displaystyle W} and finding an embedding to some R N W + n × [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{N_{W}+n}\times [0,1]} which gives a homotopy class ...

  6. Hodge theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodge_theory

    In mathematics, Hodge theory, named after W. V. D. Hodge, is a method for studying the cohomology groups of a smooth manifold M using partial differential equations.The key observation is that, given a Riemannian metric on M, every cohomology class has a canonical representative, a differential form that vanishes under the Laplacian operator of the metric.

    In mathematics, the theorem of Bertini is an existence and genericity theorem for smooth connected hyperplane sections for smooth projective varieties over algebraically closed fields, introduced by Eugenio Bertini.
