Homology sphere — In algebraic topology, a homology sphere is an n manifold X having the homology groups of an n sphere, for some integer n ≥ 1. That is, we have: H 0( X ,Z) = Z = H n ( X ,Z)and : H i ( X ,Z) = {0} for all other i .Therefore X is a connected space … Wikipedia
Homology manifold — In mathematics, a homology manifold (or generalized manifold)is a locally compact topological space X that looks locally like a topological manifold from the point of view of homology theory.DefinitionA homology G manifold (without boundary) of… … Wikipedia

3-sphere — Stereographic projection of the hypersphere s parallels (red), meridians (blue) and hypermeridians (green). Because this projection is conformal, the curves intersect each other orthogonally (in the yellow points) as in 4D. All curves are circles … Wikipedia
Homotopy sphere — In algebraic topology, a branch of mathematics, a homotopy sphere is an n manifold homotopy equivalent to the n sphere. It thus has the same homotopy groups and the same homology groups, as the n sphere. So every homotopy sphere is an homology… … Wikipedia

3-sphère — Projection stéréographique des parallèles (en rouge) des méridiens (en bleu) et des hyperméridiens (en vert) de l hypersphère : ce sont les lignes sur lesquelles une seule des coordonnées hypersphériques varie (voir le texte). À cause des… … Wikipédia en Français
Poincaré sphere — Poincaré sphere, often spelled Poincare sphere (ie without the accent) may refer to: * Poincaré sphere, in polarimetry, a visualization of polarized light * Poincaré homology sphere, in mathematics, an example of a homology sphere … Wikipedia
N-sphere — can project a sphere s surface to a plane, it can also project a 3 sphere s surface into 3 space. This image shows three coordinate directions projected to 3 space:parallels (red), meridians (blue) and hypermeridians (green).Due to the conformal… … Wikipedia
