Loop (topology)

Index Loop (topology)

In mathematics, a loop in a topological space is a continuous function from the unit interval to such that In other words, it is a path whose initial point is equal to its terminal point. [1]

Continuous function

In mathematics, a continuous function is a function such that a small variation of the argument induces a small variation of the value of the function.

See Loop (topology) and Continuous function

Free loop

In the mathematical field of topology, a free loop is a variant of the notion of a loop. Loop (topology) and free loop are topology and topology stubs.

See Loop (topology) and Free loop

Fundamental group

In the mathematical field of algebraic topology, the fundamental group of a topological space is the group of the equivalence classes under homotopy of the loops contained in the space.

Loop algebra

In mathematics, loop algebras are certain types of Lie algebras, of particular interest in theoretical physics.

Loop group

In mathematics, a loop group (not to be confused with a loop) is a group of loops in a topological group G with multiplication defined pointwise.

See Loop (topology) and Loop group

Loop space

In topology, a branch of mathematics, the loop space ΩX of a pointed topological space X is the space of (based) loops in X, i.e. continuous pointed maps from the pointed circle S1 to X, equipped with the compact-open topology. Loop (topology) and loop space are topology.

Mathematics

Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes abstract objects, methods, theories and theorems that are developed and proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself.

Path (topology)

In mathematics, a path in a topological space X is a continuous function from a closed interval into X. Paths play an important role in the fields of topology and mathematical analysis. Loop (topology) and path (topology) are topology.

Pointed space

In mathematics, a pointed space or based space is a topological space with a distinguished point, the basepoint. Loop (topology) and pointed space are topology.

Princeton University Press

Princeton University Press is an independent publisher with close connections to Princeton University.

Quasigroup

In mathematics, especially in abstract algebra, a quasigroup is an algebraic structure resembling a group in the sense that "division" is always possible.

Quotient space (topology)

In topology and related areas of mathematics, the quotient space of a topological space under a given equivalence relation is a new topological space constructed by endowing the quotient set of the original topological space with the quotient topology, that is, with the finest topology that makes continuous the canonical projection map (the function that maps points to their equivalence classes). Loop (topology) and quotient space (topology) are topology.

Topological space

In mathematics, a topological space is, roughly speaking, a geometrical space in which closeness is defined but cannot necessarily be measured by a numeric distance.

Unit circle

In mathematics, a unit circle is a circle of unit radius—that is, a radius of 1.

See Loop (topology) and Unit circle

Unit interval

In mathematics, the unit interval is the closed interval, that is, the set of all real numbers that are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Loop (topology) and unit interval are topology.
