    A space is an absolute neighborhood retract for the class , written ⁡ (), if is in and whenever is a closed subset of a space in , is a neighborhood retract of . Various classes C {\displaystyle {\mathcal {C}}} such as normal spaces have been considered in this definition, but the class M {\displaystyle {\mathcal {M}}} of metrizable spaces ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karol_Borsuk

    Karol Borsuk (8 May 1905 – 24 January 1982) was a Polish mathematician. His main area of interest was topology . He made significant contributions to shape theory , a term which he coined.

  4. Bing–Borsuk conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing–Borsuk_conjecture

    In mathematics, the Bing–Borsuk conjecture states that every -dimensional homogeneous absolute neighborhood retract space is a topological manifold. The conjecture has been proved for dimensions 1 and 2, and it is known that the 3-dimensional version of the conjecture implies the Poincaré conjecture .

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_(category_theory)

    The concept in topology was defined by Karol Borsuk in 1931. [ 2 ] Borsuk's student, Samuel Eilenberg , was with Saunders Mac Lane the founder of category theory, and (as the earliest publications on category theory concerned various topological spaces) one might have expected this term to have initially be used.

  6. Borsuk's conjecture - Wikipedia

    The Borsuk problem in geometry, for historical reasons [note 1] incorrectly called Borsuk's conjecture, is a question in discrete geometry. It is named after Karol Borsuk . Problem

    The model may not reflect the changes in the market instigated by online technologies. For example, it does not reflect the recent focus on informal learning. [5] The 70:20:10 model is not prescriptive. Author and learning and development professional Andy Jefferson asserts it "is neither a scientific fact nor a recipe for how best to develop ...

  8. Retract (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retract_(group_theory)

    The following is known about retracts: A subgroup is a retract if and only if it has a normal complement. [4] The normal complement, specifically, is the kernel of the retraction. Every direct factor is a retract. [1] Conversely, any retract which is a normal subgroup is a direct factor. [5] Every retract has the congruence extension property.

  9. Shape theory (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    Shape theory is a branch of topology that provides a more global view of the topological spaces than homotopy theory. The two coincide on compacta dominated homotopically by finite polyhedra . Shape theory associates with the Čech homology theory while homotopy theory associates with the singular homology theory.
