Seifert fiber space

A Seifert fiber space is a 3-manifold together with a decomposition as a disjoint union of circles. In other words, it is a -bundle (circle bundle) over a 2-dimensional orbifold. Many 3-manifolds are Seifert fiber spaces, and they account for all compact oriented manifolds in 6 of the 8 Thurston geometries of the geometrization conjecture. (Wikipedia).

Dual Space

Dual spaces and linear functionals In this video, I introduce the concept of a dual space, which is the analog of a "shadow world" version, but for vector spaces. I also give some examples of linear and non-linear functionals. This seems like an innocent topic, but it has a huge number of

Vectors in 2D and 3D Space

This is the second video of a series from the Worldwide Center of Mathematics explaining the basics of vectors. This video deals with vectors in the 2D and 3D planes, and shows the geometric interpretations of some vector operations. For more math videos, visit our channel or go to www.cen

Basis and Dimension

Now we know about vector spaces, so it's time to learn how to form something called a basis for that vector space. This is a set of linearly independent vectors that can be used as building blocks to make any other vector in the space. Let's take a closer look at this, as well as the dimen

Topologically Interesting Felt – Gwen Laura Fisher

A roving of sheep’s wool is a bundle of fiber that has been washed and combed, and perhaps dyed, but not yet spun into yarn. Roving can be turned into soft and flexible felt objects of many varied forms and functions, including topologically interesting surfaces. Examples include Möbius ba

Kimihiko Motegi: L-space knots in twist families and satellite L-space knots

Abstract: Twisting a knot K in S3 along a disjoint unknot c produces a twist family of knots {Kn} indexed by the integers. Comparing the behaviors of the Seifert genus g(Kn) and the slice genus g4(Kn) under twistings, we prove that if g(Kn)−g4(Kn) [is less than] C for some constant C for i

Vector spaces and subspaces

We will describe the construction of complete non-compact Ricci-flat manifolds of dimension 7 and 8 with holonomy $G_{2}$ and Spin(7) respectively. The examples we consider all have non-maximal volume growth and an asymptotic geometry, so-called ALC geometry, that generalises to higher dim
