Subbundle — In mathematics, a subbundle U of a vector bundle V on a topological space X is a collection of linear subspaces U x of the fibers V x of V at x in X , that make up a vector bundle in their own right.In connection with foliation theory, a… … Wikipedia
Generalized complex structure — In the field of mathematics known as differential geometry, a generalized complex structure is a property of a differential manifold that includes as special cases a complex structure and a symplectic structure. Generalized complex structures… … Wikipedia
Ehresmann connection — In differential geometry, an Ehresmann connection (after the French mathematician Charles Ehresmann who first formalized this concept) is a version of the notion of a connection which is defined on arbitrary fibre bundles. In particular, it may… … Wikipedia
Frobenius theorem (differential topology) — In mathematics, Frobenius theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for finding a maximal set of independent solutions of an overdetermined system of first order homogeneous linear partial differential equations. In modern geometric terms … Wikipedia
Anosov diffeomorphism — In mathematics, more particularly in the fields of dynamical systems and geometric topology, an Anosov map on a manifold M is a certain type of mapping, from M to itself, with rather clearly marked local directions of expansion and contraction .… … Wikipedia
CR manifold — In mathematics, a CR manifold is a differentiable manifold together with a geometric structure modeled on that of a real hypersurface in a complex vector space, or more generally modeled on an edge of a wedge. Formally, a CR manifold is a… … Wikipedia
Vertical bundle — In mathematics, the vertical bundle of a smooth fiber bundle is the subbundle of the tangent bundle that consists of all vectors which are tangent to the fibers. More precisely, if pi; : E rarr; M is a smooth fiber bundle over a smooth manifold M … Wikipedia
G-structure — In differential geometry, a G structure on an n manifold M , for a given structure group [Which is a Lie group G o GL(n,mathbf{R}) mapping to the general linear group GL(n,mathbf{R}). This is often but not always a Lie subgroup; for instance, for … Wikipedia
Frame bundle — In mathematics, a frame bundle is a principal fiber bundle F(E) associated to any vector bundle E. The fiber of F(E) over a point x is the set of all ordered bases, or frames, for Ex. The general linear group acts naturally on F(E) via a change… … Wikipedia
Affine connection — An affine connection on the sphere rolls the affine tangent plane from one point to another. As it does so, the point of contact traces out a curve in the plane: the development. In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an… … Wikipedia
