  2. Intersection number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_number

    Let X be a Riemann surface.Then the intersection number of two closed curves on X has a simple definition in terms of an integral. For every closed curve c on X (i.e., smooth function :), we can associate a differential form of compact support, the Poincaré dual of c, with the property that integrals along c can be calculated by integrals over X:

    Any intersection of finitely many elements of τ is an element of τ. If τ is a topology on X, then the pair (X, τ) is called a topological space. The notation X τ may be used to denote a set X endowed with the particular topology τ. By definition, every topology is a π-system. The members of τ are called open sets in X.

  4. Intersection theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_theory

    In mathematics, intersection theory is one of the main branches of algebraic geometry, where it gives information about the intersection of two subvarieties of a given variety. [1] The theory for varieties is older, with roots in Bézout's theorem on curves and elimination theory. On the other hand, the topological theory more quickly reached a ...

  5. Arnold invariants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_invariants

    The + and invariants keep track of how curves change under these transformations and deformations. The + invariant increases by 2 when a direct self-tangency move creates new self-intersection points (and decreases by 2 when such points are eliminated), while decreases by 2 when an inverse self-tangency move creates new intersections (and increases by 2 when they are eliminated).

    The intersection of any finite number of elements of F is again in F. If A is in F and if B contains A, then B is in F. Final topology On a set X with respect to a family of functions into , is the finest topology on X which makes those functions continuous. [9] Fine topology (potential theory)

  7. General topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_topology

    General topology grew out of a number of areas, most importantly the following: the detailed study of subsets of the real line (once known as the topology of point sets; this usage is now obsolete) the introduction of the manifold concept; the study of metric spaces, especially normed linear spaces, in the early days of functional analysis.

  8. Finite intersection property - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_intersection_property

    Let be a set and a nonempty family of subsets of ; that is, is a nonempty subset of the power set of . Then is said to have the finite intersection property if every nonempty finite subfamily has nonempty intersection; it is said to have the strong finite intersection property if that intersection is always infinite.

    If is a set equipped with a mapping satisfying the above properties, then the set of all possible outputs of int satisfies the previous axioms for open sets, and hence defines a topology; it is the unique topology whose associated interior operator coincides with the given int. [28] It follows that on a topological space , all definitions can ...
