Topological map — Topological tube map of the London Underground In cartography and geology, a topological map is one that has been simplified so that only vital information remains and unnecessary detail has been removed. These maps lack scale, and distance and… … Wikipedia
Mapping class group — In mathematics, in the sub field of geometric topology, the mapping class group is an important algebraic invariant of a topological space. Briefly, the mapping class group is a discrete group of symmetries of the space. Contents 1 Motivation 2… … Wikipedia
Mapping cone (homological algebra) — In homological algebra, the mapping cone is a construction on a map of chain complexes inspired by the analogous construction in topology. In the theory of triangulated categories it is a kind of combined kernel and cokernel: if the chain… … Wikipedia
Mapping cylinder — In mathematics, specifically algebraic topology, the mapping cylinder of a function f between topological spaces X and Y is the quotient where the union is disjoint, and ∼ is the equivalence relation That is, the mapping cylinder Mf … Wikipedia

Topological conjugacy — In mathematics, two functions are said to be topologically conjugate to one another if there exists a homeomorphism that will conjugate the one into the other. Topological conjugacy is important in the study of iterated functions and more… … Wikipedia
Topological quantum number — In physics, a topological quantum number is any quantity, in a physical theory, that takes on only one of a discrete set of values, due to topological considerations. Most commonly, topological quantum numbers are topological invariants… … Wikipedia
Mapping cone — In mathematics, especially homotopy theory, the mapping cone is a construction Cf of topology, analogous to a quotient space. It is also called the homotopy cofiber, and also notated Cf. Contents 1 Definition 1.1 Example of circle … Wikipedia
Mapping torus — In mathematics, the mapping torus in topology of a homeomorphism f of some topological space X to itself is a particular geometric construction with f. Take the cartesian product of X with a closed interval I, and glue the boundary components… … Wikipedia
Topological half-exact functor — In mathematics, a topological half exact functor F is a functor from a fixed topological category (for example CW complexes or pointed spaces) to an abelian category (most frequently in applications, category of abelian groups or category of… … Wikipedia
