  2. Resolution of singularities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_of_singularities

    In algebraic geometry, the problem of resolution of singularities asks whether every algebraic variety V has a resolution, which is a non-singular variety W with a proper birational map W→V. For varieties over fields of characteristic 0 , this was proved by Heisuke Hironaka in 1964; [ 1 ] while for varieties of dimension at least 4 over ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_solving

    Problem solving is the process of achieving a goal by overcoming obstacles, a frequent part of most activities. Problems in need of solutions range from simple personal tasks (e.g. how to turn on an appliance) to complex issues in business and technical fields.

  5. Ethical dilemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethical_dilemma

    A person is in an ethical dilemma if they stand under several conflicting moral obligations and no obligation overrides the others. Two ethical requirements are conflicting if the agent can do one or the other but not both: the agent has to choose one over the other.

  6. Bott–Samelson resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bott–Samelson_resolution

    In algebraic geometry, the Bott–Samelson resolution of a Schubert variety is a resolution of singularities. It was introduced by Bott & Samelson (1958) in the context of compact Lie groups. [1] The algebraic formulation is independently due to Hansen (1973) and Demazure (1974).

  7. Resolution (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(algebra)

    In mathematics, and more specifically in homological algebra, a resolution (or left resolution; dually a coresolution or right resolution [1]) is an exact sequence of modules (or, more generally, of objects of an abelian category) that is used to define invariants characterizing the structure of a specific module or object of this category.

  8. Angular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

    Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.

  9. Spectral resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_resolution

    The spectral resolution of a spectrograph, or, more generally, of a frequency spectrum, is a measure of its ability to resolve features in the electromagnetic spectrum.It is usually denoted by , and is closely related to the resolving power of the spectrograph, defined as =, where is the smallest difference in wavelengths that can be distinguished at a wavelength of .
