  2. Image (mathematics) - Wikipedia

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

    The preimage of an output value is the set of input values that produce . More generally, evaluating f {\displaystyle f} at each element of a given subset A {\displaystyle A} of its domain X {\displaystyle X} produces a set, called the " image of A {\displaystyle A} under (or through) f {\displaystyle f} ".

    Moreover, f is the composition of the canonical projection from f to the quotient set, and the bijection between the quotient set and the codomain of . The composition of two surjections is again a surjection, but if g ∘ f {\displaystyle g\circ f} is surjective, then it can only be concluded that g {\displaystyle g} is surjective (see figure).

  4. Fiber (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    The fibers of are that line and all the straight lines parallel to it, which form a partition of the plane . More generally, if f {\displaystyle f} is a linear map from some linear vector space X {\displaystyle X} to some other linear space Y {\displaystyle Y} , the fibers of f {\displaystyle f} are affine subspaces of X {\displaystyle X ...

  5. Pullback (category theory) - Wikipedia

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

    Then a pullback of f and g (in Set) is given by the preimage f1 [B 0] together with the inclusion of the preimage in A. f1 [B 0] ↪ A. and the restriction of f to f1 [B 0] f1 [B 0] → B 0. Because of this example, in a general category the pullback of a morphism f and a monomorphism g can be thought of as the "preimage" under ...

  6. Surjective function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surjective_function

    If f : X → Y is surjective and B is a subset of Y, then f(f1 (B)) = B. Thus, B can be recovered from its preimage f1 (B). For example, in the first illustration in the gallery, there is some function g such that g(C) = 4. There is also some function f such that f(4) = C.

  7. Preimage theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preimage_theorem

    In mathematics, particularly in the field of differential topology, the preimage theorem is a variation of the implicit function theorem concerning the preimage of particular points in a manifold under the action of a smooth map.

  8. Pushout (category theory) - Wikipedia

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

    The pushout of f and g is the disjoint union of X and Y, where elements sharing a common preimage (in Z) are identified, together with the morphisms i 1, i 2 from X and Y, i.e. = / where ~ is the finest equivalence relation (cf. also this) such that f(z) ~ g(z) for all z in Z.

  9. Vertical and horizontal bundles - Wikipedia

    Indeed, if one writes θ for the solder form, then the torsion tensor Θ is given by Θ = D θ (with D the exterior covariant derivative). For any given connection ω, there is a unique one-form σ on TE, called the contorsion tensor, that is vanishing in the vertical bundle, and is such that ω+σ is another connection 1-form that is torsion ...
