  2. Disk (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The Euler characteristic of a point (and therefore also that of a closed or open disk) is 1. [7] Every continuous map from the closed disk to itself has at least one fixed point (we don't require the map to be bijective or even surjective); this is the case n=2 of the Brouwer fixed-point theorem. [8] The statement is false for the open disk: [9]

  3. Shape of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_of_the_universe

    A "closed universe" is necessarily a closed manifold. An "open universe" can be either a closed or open manifold. For example, in the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) model, the universe is considered to be without boundaries, in which case "compact universe" could describe a universe that is a closed manifold.

  4. Open and closed maps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_and_closed_maps

    This function from the unit circle to the half-open interval [0,2π) is bijective, open, and closed, but not continuous. It shows that the image of a compact space under an open or closed map need not be compact. Also note that if we consider this as a function from the unit circle to the real numbers, then it is neither open nor closed.

  5. Surface (topology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_(topology)

    The closed disk is a simple example of a surface with boundary. The boundary of the disc is a circle. The term surface used without qualification refers to surfaces without boundary. In particular, a surface with empty boundary is a surface in the usual sense. A surface with empty boundary which is compact is known as a 'closed' surface.

  6. Unit disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_disk

    Unit disks are special cases of disks and unit balls; as such, they contain the interior of the unit circle and, in the case of the closed unit disk, the unit circle itself. Without further specifications, the term unit disk is used for the open unit disk about the origin, (), with respect to the standard Euclidean metric.

  7. Closed manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_manifold

    The only connected one-dimensional example is a circle. The sphere, torus, and the Klein bottle are all closed two-dimensional manifolds. The real projective space RP n is a closed n-dimensional manifold. The complex projective space CP n is a closed 2n-dimensional manifold. [1] A line is not closed because it is not

    The Biden administration is wading into a contentious debate about whether the most powerful artificial intelligence systems should be “open-source” or closed. The White House said Wednesday ...

  9. Neighbourhood (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    A set that is a neighbourhood of each of its points is open since it can be expressed as the union of open sets containing each of its points. A closed rectangle, as illustrated in the figure, is not a neighbourhood of all its points; points on the edges or corners of the rectangle are not contained in any open set that is contained within the ...
