  2. Immersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_(mathematics)

    A smooth embedding is an injective immersion f : M → N that is also a topological embedding, so that M is diffeomorphic to its image in N. An immersion is precisely a local embedding – that is, for any point x ∈ M there is a neighbourhood, U ⊆ M, of x such that f : U → N is an embedding, and conversely a local embedding is an ...

  3. On-the-job training - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On-the-job_training

    On-the-job training (widely known as OJT) is an important topic of human resource management. It helps develop the career of the individual and the prosperous growth of the organization. On-the-job training is a form of training provided at the workplace. During the training, employees are familiarized with the working environment they will ...

  4. Submanifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submanifold

    This image of the open interval (with boundary points identified with the arrow marked ends) is an immersed submanifold. An immersed submanifold of a manifold is the image of an immersion map :; in general this image will not be a submanifold as a subset, and an immersion map need not even be injective (one-to-one) – it can have self-intersections.

  5. Local diffeomorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_diffeomorphism

    As another example, there can be no local diffeomorphism from the 2-sphere to Euclidean 2-space, although they do indeed have the same local differentiable structure. This is because all local diffeomorphisms are continuous , the continuous image of a compact space is compact, and the 2-sphere is compact whereas Euclidean 2-space is not.

  6. Embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedding

    An embedding, or a smooth embedding, is defined to be an immersion that is an embedding in the topological sense mentioned above (i.e. homeomorphism onto its image). [4] In other words, the domain of an embedding is diffeomorphic to its image, and in particular the image of an embedding must be a submanifold.

  7. Submersion (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submersion_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a submersion is a differentiable map between differentiable manifolds whose differential is everywhere surjective. This is a basic concept in differential topology. The notion of a submersion is dual to the notion of an immersion.

  8. Regular homotopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_homotopy

    Any two knots in 3-space are equivalent by regular homotopy, though not by isotopy. This curve has total curvature 6π, and turning number 3.. The Whitney–Graustein theorem classifies the regular homotopy classes of a circle into the plane; two immersions are regularly homotopic if and only if they have the same turning number – equivalently, total curvature; equivalently, if and only if ...

  9. Direct image functor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_image_functor

    If dealing with sheaves of sets instead of sheaves of abelian groups, the same definition applies. Similarly, if f: (X, O X) → (Y, O Y) is a morphism of ringed spaces, we obtain a direct image functor f ∗: Sh(X,O X) → Sh(Y,O Y) from the category of sheaves of O X-modules to the category of sheaves of O Y-modules.
