  2. Embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedding

    An embedding, or a smooth embedding, is defined to be an immersion that is an embedding in the topological sense mentioned above (i.e. homeomorphism onto its image). [ 4 ] In other words, the domain of an embedding is diffeomorphic to its image, and in particular the image of an embedding must be a submanifold .

    Mathematical fiction is a genre of creative fictional work in which mathematics and mathematicians play important roles. The form and the medium of the works are not important. The form and the medium of the works are not important.

  4. Immersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A smooth embedding is an injective immersion f : M → N that is also a topological embedding, so that M is diffeomorphic to its image in N. An immersion is precisely a local embedding – that is, for any point x ∈ M there is a neighbourhood, U ⊆ M, of x such that f : U → N is an embedding, and conversely a local embedding is an ...

  5. Regular embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_embedding

    For example, if X and Y are smooth over a scheme S and if i is an S-morphism, then i is a regular embedding. In particular, every section of a smooth morphism is a regular embedding. [1] If ⁡ is regularly embedded into a regular scheme, then B is a complete intersection ring. [2]

  6. Compact embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_embedding

    The embedding of X into Y is a compact operator: any bounded set in X is totally bounded in Y, i.e. every sequence in such a bounded set has a subsequence that is Cauchy in the norm ||•|| Y. If Y is a Banach space, an equivalent definition is that the embedding operator (the identity) i : X → Y is a compact operator.

  7. Graph embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_embedding

    An embedded graph uniquely defines cyclic orders of edges incident to the same vertex. The set of all these cyclic orders is called a rotation system.Embeddings with the same rotation system are considered to be equivalent and the corresponding equivalence class of embeddings is called combinatorial embedding (as opposed to the term topological embedding, which refers to the previous ...

A terse, pithy saying, akin to a proverb, maxim, or aphorism. aposiopesis A rhetorical device in which speech is broken off abruptly and the sentence is left unfinished. apostrophe A figure of speech in which a speaker breaks off from addressing the audience (e.g., in a play) and directs speech to a third party such as an opposing litigant or some other individual, sometimes ...

  9. Nash embedding theorems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nash_embedding_theorems

    The Nash embedding theorem is a global theorem in the sense that the whole manifold is embedded into R n. A local embedding theorem is much simpler and can be proved using the implicit function theorem of advanced calculus in a coordinate neighborhood of the manifold. The proof of the global embedding theorem relies on Nash's implicit function ...
