Topological Algebra
In mathematics, a topological algebra A is an algebra and at the same time a topological space, where the algebraic and the topological structures are coherent in a specified sense. Definition A topological algebra A over a topological field K is a topological vector space together with a bilinear multiplication :\cdot: A \times A \to A, :(a,b) \mapsto a \cdot b that turns A into an algebra over K and is continuous in some definite sense. Usually the ''continuity of the multiplication'' is expressed by one of the following (non-equivalent) requirements: * ''joint continuity'': for each neighbourhood of zero U\subseteq A there are neighbourhoods of zero V\subseteq A and W\subseteq A such that V \cdot W\subseteq U (in other words, this condition means that the multiplication is continuous as a map between topological spaces or * ''stereotype continuity'': for each totally bounded set S\subseteq A and for each neighbourhood of zero U\subseteq A there is a neighbourhood of zero V\s ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of t ...

Topological Ring
In mathematics, a topological ring is a ring R that is also a topological space such that both the addition and the multiplication are continuous as maps: R \times R \to R where R \times R carries the product topology. That means R is an additive topological group and a multiplicative topological semigroup. Topological rings are fundamentally related to topological fields and arise naturally while studying them, since for example completion of a topological field may be a topological ring which is not a field. General comments The group of units R^\times of a topological ring R is a topological group when endowed with the topology coming from the embedding of R^\times into the product R \times R as \left(x, x^\right). However, if the unit group is endowed with the subspace topology as a subspace of R, it may not be a topological group, because inversion on R^\times need not be continuous with respect to the subspace topology. An example of this situation is the adele ring of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Banach Algebra
In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a Banach algebra, named after Stefan Banach, is an associative algebra A over the real or complex numbers (or over a non-Archimedean complete normed field) that at the same time is also a Banach space, that is, a normed space that is complete in the metric induced by the norm. The norm is required to satisfy \, x \, y\, \ \leq \, x\, \, \, y\, \quad \text x, y \in A. This ensures that the multiplication operation is continuous. A Banach algebra is called ''unital'' if it has an identity element for the multiplication whose norm is 1, and ''commutative'' if its multiplication is commutative. Any Banach algebra A (whether it has an identity element or not) can be embedded isometrically into a unital Banach algebra A_e so as to form a closed ideal of A_e. Often one assumes ''a priori'' that the algebra under consideration is unital: for one can develop much of the theory by considering A_e and then applying the outcome in the o ...

Fréchet Algebra
In mathematics, especially functional analysis, a Fréchet algebra, named after Maurice René Fréchet, is an associative algebra A over the real or complex numbers that at the same time is also a (locally convex) Fréchet space. The multiplication operation (a,b) \mapsto a*b for a,b \in A is required to be jointly continuous. If \_^\infty is an increasing family of seminorms for the topology of A, the joint continuity of multiplication is equivalent to there being a constant C_n >0 and integer m \ge n for each n such that \left\, a b \right\, _n \leq C_n \left\, a \right\, _m \left\, b \right\, _m for all a, b \in A. Fréchet algebras are also called ''B''0-algebras. A Fréchet algebra is m-convex if there exists such a family of semi-norms for which m=n. In that case, by rescaling the seminorms, we may also take C_n = 1 for each n and the seminorms are said to be submultiplicative: \, a b \, _n \leq \, a \, _n \, b \, _n for all a, b \in A. m-convex Fréchet algebras may ...

Thesis
A thesis ( : theses), or dissertation (abbreviated diss.), is a document submitted in support of candidature for an academic degree or professional qualification presenting the author's research and findings.International Standard ISO 7144: Documentation�Presentation of theses and similar documents International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, 1986. In some contexts, the word "thesis" or a cognate is used for part of a bachelor's or master's course, while "dissertation" is normally applied to a doctorate. This is the typical arrangement in American English. In other contexts, such as within most institutions of the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, the reverse is true. The term graduate thesis is sometimes used to refer to both master's theses and doctoral dissertations. The required complexity or quality of research of a thesis or dissertation can vary by country, university, or program, and the required minimum study period may thus vary significantly in d ...

Associative Algebra
In mathematics, an associative algebra ''A'' is an algebraic structure with compatible operations of addition, multiplication (assumed to be associative), and a scalar multiplication by elements in some field ''K''. The addition and multiplication operations together give ''A'' the structure of a ring; the addition and scalar multiplication operations together give ''A'' the structure of a vector space over ''K''. In this article we will also use the term ''K''-algebra to mean an associative algebra over the field ''K''. A standard first example of a ''K''-algebra is a ring of square matrices over a field ''K'', with the usual matrix multiplication. A commutative algebra is an associative algebra that has a commutative multiplication, or, equivalently, an associative algebra that is also a commutative ring. In this article associative algebras are assumed to have a multiplicative identity, denoted 1; they are sometimes called unital associative algebras for clarification. ...

Algebra Over A Field
In mathematics, an algebra over a field (often simply called an algebra) is a vector space equipped with a bilinear product. Thus, an algebra is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with operations of multiplication and addition and scalar multiplication by elements of a field and satisfying the axioms implied by "vector space" and "bilinear". The multiplication operation in an algebra may or may not be associative, leading to the notions of associative algebras and non-associative algebras. Given an integer ''n'', the ring of real square matrices of order ''n'' is an example of an associative algebra over the field of real numbers under matrix addition and matrix multiplication since matrix multiplication is associative. Three-dimensional Euclidean space with multiplication given by the vector cross product is an example of a nonassociative algebra over the field of real numbers since the vector cross product is nonassociative, satisfying the Jacobi ...

Totally Bounded Set
In topology and related branches of mathematics, total-boundedness is a generalization of compactness for circumstances in which a set is not necessarily closed. A totally bounded set can be covered by finitely many subsets of every fixed “size” (where the meaning of “size” depends on the structure of the ambient space). The term precompact (or pre-compact) is sometimes used with the same meaning, but precompact is also used to mean relatively compact. These definitions coincide for subsets of a complete metric space, but not in general. In metric spaces A metric space (M,d) is ''totally bounded'' if and only if for every real number \varepsilon > 0, there exists a finite collection of open balls in ''M'' of radius \varepsilon whose union contains . Equivalently, the metric space ''M'' is totally bounded if and only if for every \varepsilon >0, there exists a finite cover such that the radius of each element of the cover is at most \varepsilon. This is equival ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neighbourhood (mathematics)
In topology and related areas of mathematics, a neighbourhood (or neighborhood) is one of the basic concepts in a topological space. It is closely related to the concepts of open set and interior. Intuitively speaking, a neighbourhood of a point is a set of points containing that point where one can move some amount in any direction away from that point without leaving the set. Definitions Neighbourhood of a point If X is a topological space and p is a point in X, then a of p is a subset V of X that includes an open set U containing p, p \in U \subseteq V \subseteq X. This is also equivalent to the point p \in X belonging to the topological interior of V in X. The neighbourhood V need be an open subset X, but when V is open in X then it is called an . Some authors have been known to require neighbourhoods to be open, so it is important to note conventions. A set that is a neighbourhood of each of its points is open since it can be expressed as the union of open sets ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
