Visual Geometry and Topology by Anatolij T. Fomenko, M.V. Tsaplina

By Anatolij T. Fomenko, M.V. Tsaplina

Geometry and topology are strongly prompted by means of the visualization of excellent gadgets that experience yes specified features. a transparent formula of a particular estate or a logically constant evidence of a theorem frequently comes basically after the mathematician has adequately "seen" what's going. those images that are intended to function signposts resulting in mathematical realizing, often additionally comprise a great thing about their very own. The primary goal of this ebook is to relate, in an available and reasonably visible language, approximately a few classical and sleek achievements of geometry and topology in either intrinsic mathematical difficulties and purposes to mathematical physics. The e-book starts off from classical notions of topology and ends with notable new ends up in Hamiltonian geometry. Fomenko lays designated emphasis upon visible motives of the issues and effects and downplays the summary logical elements of calculations. for instance, readers can in a short time penetrate into the recent concept of topological descriptions of integrable Hamiltonian differential equations. The ebook comprises quite a few graphical sheets drawn via the writer, that are provided in targeted sections of "Visual material". those photos illustrate the mathematical rules and effects inside the booklet. utilizing those photographs, the reader can comprehend many glossy mathematical rules and strategies. even if "Visual Geometry and Topology" is set arithmetic, Fomenko has written and illustrated this publication in order that scholars and researchers from the entire typical sciences and likewise artists and paintings scholars will locate whatever of curiosity inside its pages.

Simplicial polyhedra. Cubic partitions and cubic homologies. To M. A. Bulgakov 1. Polyhedra. Simplicial Complexes. Homologies will soon be of use in the discussion of the concept of chains and of the important algebro-geometric fact that summation of chains leads in some cases to mutual annihilation of common pieces of the boundary. "Glueing" the crack in the polyhedron in Fig. 26, we thus obviously decrease its boundary: the crack boundaries are mutually annihilated. e. 8(A+B) =8A+8B-(8An8B). 27 represents prisms into the union of which there splits the direct product of the polyhedron by a segment.

Simplicial Complexes. Homologies a finite group Zp of residues modulo p. The indicated groups are most frequently used in topology. For definiteness, we shall for the present be concerned with the case G = Z. An extension of all further constructions to the case of an arbitrary Abelian group is made automatically and does not add any new essential points. 17 are kdimensional simplexes, and assume the sum to contain only a finite number of nonzero ai. Such linear combinations are called integer valued k-dimensional chains (or simplicial integer-valued k-dimensional chains).

18 9) Homologies of a Klein bottle. We consider triangulation of a Klein bottle K illustrated in Fig. 18. One can see that this manifold is non-orientable. As in the preceding cases, we immediately obtain that anyone-dimensional cycle z is homologous to a cycle z' of the form z' = rna: + n(3, where rn and n are some integers and a: and (3 are cycles, and a: = a + b, (3 = c + d. e. Al = A2 = A3 = A4 (as on a torus). We shall examine a two-dimensional chain T which takes the value 1 on all the oriented triangles (fig.
