  2. Pullback (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_(category_theory)

    Another example of a pullback comes from the theory of fiber bundles: given a bundle map π : E → B and a continuous map f : X → B, the pullback (formed in the category of topological spaces with continuous maps) X × B E is a fiber bundle over X called the pullback bundle. The associated commutative diagram is a morphism of fiber bundles.

  3. Pullback (differential geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_(differential...

    When =, then the pullback and the pushforward describe the transformation properties of a tensor on the manifold . In traditional terms, the pullback describes the transformation properties of the covariant indices of a tensor; by contrast, the transformation of the contravariant indices is given by a pushforward.

  4. Pullback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback

    The pullback bundle is an example that bridges the notion of a pullback as precomposition, and the notion of a pullback as a Cartesian square. In that example, the base space of a fiber bundle is pulled back, in the sense of precomposition, above. The fibers then travel along with the points in the base space at which they are anchored: the ...

  5. Exterior derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exterior_derivative

    The exterior derivative is natural in the technical sense: if f : M → N is a smooth map and Ω k is the contravariant smooth functor that assigns to each manifold the space of k-forms on the manifold, then the following diagram commutes so d( f ∗ ω) = f ∗ dω, where f ∗ denotes the pullback of f .

  6. Limit (category theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_(category_theory)

    The limit of this diagram is called the J th power of X and denoted X J. Equalizers. If J is a category with two objects and two parallel morphisms from one object to the other, then a diagram of shape J is a pair of parallel morphisms in C. The limit L of such a diagram is called an equalizer of those morphisms. Kernels.

  7. Funnel chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_chart

    A typical example of a funnel chart starts with the sales leads on top, then down to the qualified leads, the hot leads and the closed deals. A business is bound to lose some number of potential deals at each step in the sales process and this is represented by the narrowing sections as you move from the top section (the widest) to the bottom section (the narrowest.)

  8. Pullback bundle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pullback_bundle

    In mathematics, a pullback bundle or induced bundle [1] [2] [3] is the fiber bundle that is induced by a map of its base-space. Given a fiber bundle π : E → B and a continuous map f : B′ → B one can define a "pullback" of E by f as a bundle f * E over B′. The fiber of f * E over a point b′ in B′ is just the fiber of E over f(b′).

  9. Homotopy colimit and limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homotopy_colimit_and_limit

    A homotopy pullback (or homotopy fiber-product) is the dual concept of a homotopy pushout. It satisfies the universal property of a pullback up to homotopy. [ citation needed ] Concretely, given f : X → Z {\displaystyle f:X\to Z} and g : Y → Z {\displaystyle g:Y\to Z} , it can be constructed as
