Virtual fundamental class

In mathematics, specifically enumerative geometry, the virtual fundamental class of a space is a replacement of the classical fundamental class in its chow ring which has better behavior with respect to the enumerative problems being considered. In this way, there exists a cycle with can be used for answering specific enumerative problems, such as the number of degree rational curves on a quintic threefold. For example, in Gromov–Witten theory, the for a scheme and a class in , their behavior can be wild at the boundary, such aspg 503 having higher-dimensional components at the boundary than on the main space. One such example is in the moduli space for the class of a line in . The non-compact "smooth" component is empty, but the boundary contains maps of curves whose components consist of one degree 3 curve which contracts to a point. There is a virtual fundamental class which can then be used to count the number of curves in this family. (Wikipedia).

Abstract Algebra - 11.1 Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups

We complete our study of Abstract Algebra in the topic of groups by studying the Fundamental Theorem of Finite Abelian Groups. This tells us that every finite abelian group is a direct product of cyclic groups of prime-power order. Video Chapters: Intro 0:00 Before the Fundamental Theorem
