  2. Cone (topology) - Wikipedia

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

    The cone over a closed interval I of the real line is a filled-in triangle (with one of the edges being I), otherwise known as a 2-simplex (see the final example). The cone over a polygon P is a pyramid with base P. The cone over a disk is the solid cone of classical geometry (hence the concept's name). The cone over a circle given by

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone

    The definition of a cone may be extended to higher dimensions; see convex cone. In this case, one says that a convex set C in the real vector space R n {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{n}} is a cone (with apex at the origin) if for every vector x in C and every nonnegative real number a , the vector ax is in C . [ 2 ]

  4. Convex cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_cone

    According to the above definition, if C is a convex cone, then C ∪ {0} is a convex cone, too. A convex cone is said to be pointed if 0 is in C, and blunt if 0 is not in C. [2] [21] Blunt cones can be excluded from the definition of convex cone by substituting "non-negative" for "positive" in the condition of α, β.

  5. Ruled surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruled_surface

    In geometry, a surface S in 3-dimensional Euclidean space is ruled (also called a scroll) if through every point of S, there is a straight line that lies on S. Examples include the plane , the lateral surface of a cylinder or cone , a conical surface with elliptical directrix , the right conoid , the helicoid , and the tangent developable of a ...

  6. Projective cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_cone

    Let X be a projective space over some field K, and R, S be disjoint subspaces of X. Let A be an arbitrary subset of S. Then we define RA, the cone with top R and basis A, as follows : When A is empty, RA = A. When A is not empty, RA consists of all those points on a line connecting a point on R and a point on A.

  7. Normal cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_cone

    If X is a point, then the normal cone and the normal bundle to it are also called the tangent cone and the tangent space (Zariski tangent space) to the point. When Y = Spec R is affine, the definition means that the normal cone to X = Spec R/I is the Spec of the associated graded ring of R with respect to I.

  8. Cone of curves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_of_curves

    Let be a proper variety. By definition, a (real) 1-cycle on is a formal linear combination = of irreducible, reduced and proper curves , with coefficients . Numerical equivalence of 1-cycles is defined by intersections: two 1-cycles and ′ are numerically equivalent if = ′ for every Cartier divisor on .

  9. Cone (algebraic geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cone_(algebraic_geometry)

    In algebraic geometry, a cone is a generalization of a vector bundle.Specifically, given a scheme X, the relative Spec = ⁡ of a quasi-coherent graded O X-algebra R is called the cone or affine cone of R.
