Given a bijective function f between two topological spaces, the inverse function f −1 need not be continuous. A bijective continuous function with continuous inverse function is called a homeomorphism. If a continuous bijection has as its domain a compact space and its codomain is Hausdorff, then it is a homeomorphism.
The real numbers form a topological group under addition. In mathematics, topological groups are the combination of groups and topological spaces, i.e. they are groups and topological spaces at the same time, such that the continuity condition for the group operations connects these two structures together and consequently they are not independent from each other.
Any compact group is locally compact.. In particular the circle group T of complex numbers of unit modulus under multiplication is compact, and therefore locally compact. The circle group historically served as the first topologically nontrivial group to also have the property of local compactness, and as such motivated the search for the more general theory, presented here.
In mathematics, topological modular forms (tmf) is the name of a spectrum that describes a generalized cohomology theory.In concrete terms, for any integer n there is a topological space , and these spaces are equipped with certain maps between them, so that for any topological space X, one obtains an abelian group structure on the set of homotopy classes of continuous maps from X to .
The two dashed paths shown above are homotopic relative to their endpoints. The animation represents one possible homotopy. In topology, two continuous functions from one topological space to another are called homotopic (from Ancient Greek: ὁμός homós "same, similar" and τόπος tópos "place") if one can be "continuously deformed" into the other, such a deformation being called a ...
In mathematics, a bitopological space is a set endowed with two topologies. Typically, if the set is X {\displaystyle X} and the topologies are σ {\displaystyle \sigma } and τ {\displaystyle \tau } then the bitopological space is referred to as ( X , σ , τ ) {\displaystyle (X,\sigma ,\tau )} .
In mathematics, a topological group G is a group that is also a topological space such that the group multiplication G × G→G and the inverse operation G→G are continuous maps. Subcategories This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total.
The version of the theorem in Hedlund's paper applied only to one-dimensional finite automata, but a generalization to higher dimensional integer lattices was soon afterwards published by Richardson (1972), [3] and it can be even further generalized from lattices to discrete groups. One important consequence of the theorem is that, for ...
