Abelian - Topology and Number Theory

Topology and Number Theory

  • Abelian variety, a complex torus that can be embedded into projective space
  • Abelian surface, a two-dimensional abelian variety
  • Abelian function, a meromorphic function on an abelian variety
  • Abelian integral, a function related to the indefinite integral of a differential of the first kind
In category theory
  • Pre-abelian category, an additive category that has all kernels and cokernels
  • Abelian category, a preabelian category in which every monomorphism is a kernel and every epimorphism is a cokernel
In physics
  • A gauge theory is abelian or non-abelian depending on whether its symmetry group is commutative or non-commutative, respectively

Famous quotes containing the words number and/or theory:

    The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    The weakness of the man who, when his theory works out into a flagrant contradiction of the facts, concludes “So much the worse for the facts: let them be altered,” instead of “So much the worse for my theory.”
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
