  2. Algebraic topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebraic_topology

    A torus, one of the most frequently studied objects in algebraic topology. Algebraic topology is a branch of mathematics that uses tools from abstract algebra to study topological spaces. The basic goal is to find algebraic invariants that classify topological spaces up to homeomorphism, though usually most classify up to homotopy equivalence.

Topology (from the Greek words τόπος, 'place, location', and λόγος, 'study') is the branch of mathematics concerned with the properties of a geometric object that are preserved under continuous deformations, such as stretching, twisting, crumpling ...

  6. Covering space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covering_space

    The theory for this is set down in Chapter 11 of the book Topology and groupoids referred to below. The main result is that for discontinuous actions of a group G on a Hausdorff space X which admits a universal cover, then the fundamental groupoid of the orbit space X / G is isomorphic to the orbit groupoid of the fundamental groupoid of X , i ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_topologies

    The following is a list of named topologies or topological spaces, many of which are counterexamples in topology and related branches of mathematics. This is not a list of properties that a topology or topological space might possess; for that, see List of general topology topics and Topological property.

  8. CW complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CW_complex

    In mathematics, and specifically in topology, a CW complex (also cellular complex or cell complex) is a topological space that is built by gluing together topological balls (so-called cells) of different dimensions in specific ways. It generalizes both manifolds and simplicial complexes and has particular significance for algebraic topology. [1]
