Cocompact group action — In mathematics, an action of a group G on a topological space X is cocompact if the quotient space X/G is a compact space or, equivalently, if there is a compact subset K of X such that the image of K under the action of G covers X . This algebra … Wikipedia

James W. Cannon — (b. January 30, 1943) is an American mathematician working in the areas of low dimensional topology and geometric group theory. He is an Orson Pratt Professor of Mathematics at the Brigham Young University.Biographical dataJames W. Cannon was… … Wikipedia
Baum–Connes conjecture — In mathematics, specifically in operator K theory, the Baum ndash;Connes conjecture suggests a link between the C* algebra of a group and the K homology of the corresponding classifying space of proper actions of that group.It thus sets up a… … Wikipedia
Space group — In mathematics and geometry, a space group is a symmetry group, usually for three dimensions, that divides space into discrete repeatable domains. In three dimensions, there are 219 unique types, or counted as 230 if chiral copies are considered… … Wikipedia
Nilmanifold — In mathematics, a nilmanifold is a differentiable manifold which has a transitive nilpotent group of diffeomorphisms acting on it. As such, a nilmanifold is an example of a homogeneous space and is diffeomorphic to the quotient space N / H, the… … Wikipedia
Fake projective plane — For Freedman s example of a non smoothable manifold with the same homotopy type as the complex projective plane, see 4 manifold. In mathematics, a fake projective plane (or Mumford surface) is one of the 50 complex algebraic surfaces that have… … Wikipedia
Group action — This article is about the mathematical concept. For the sociology term, see group action (sociology). Given an equilateral triangle, the counterclockwise rotation by 120° around the center of the triangle acts on the set of vertices of the… … Wikipedia
Orbifold — This terminology should not be blamed on me. It was obtained by a democratic process in my course of 1976 77. An orbifold is something with many folds; unfortunately, the word “manifold” already has a different definition. I tried “foldamani”,… … Wikipedia
Lattice (group) — A lattice in the Euclidean plane. In mathematics, especially in geometry and group theory, a lattice in Rn is a discrete subgroup of Rn which spans the real vector space Rn. Every lattice in Rn … Wikipedia
