Smooth Vector Bundle 向量丛

A smooth vector bundle is a locally trivial smooth family of vector spaces whose changes of fiber coordinates are linear.

Terminology

Sobolev Space Sobolev空间

A Sobolev space controls a function and its weak derivatives in specified Lebesgue norms.

Terminology

Sobolev Trace Sobolev函数的迹

A Sobolev trace assigns boundary values by continuously extending restriction from smooth functions.

Terminology

Spectral Sequence 谱序列

A spectral sequence is a sequence of differential objects whose successive pages are their cohomology, often computing associated graded pieces of a filtered cohomology group.

Terminology

Stable Homotopy Group 稳定同伦群

Stable homotopy groups retain information that survives repeated suspension.

Terminology

Stable Infinity-Category

Stability requires a zero object, fibers and cofibers of every map, and agreement of fiber and cofiber sequences. Begin with spectra, then follow how stable infinity-categories retain the homotopy information behind triangulated categories.

Stiefel–Whitney Classes

These mod-two cohomology classes detect features of real vector bundles that survive pullback. Start with the axioms and Whitney sum formula, then relate the classes to obstructions to independent sections.

Stochastic Differential Equation 随机微分方程

A stochastic differential equation specifies an integral evolution driven by noise, with solution and integration conventions forming part of the problem.

Terminology

Stokes' Theorem on Manifolds Stokes 定理

Stokes' theorem equates the integral of an exterior derivative over an oriented manifold with the integral of the original form over its oriented boundary.

Terminology

Stopping Time 停时

A stopping time is a random time for which deciding whether stopping has occurred uses only information already available.

Terminology

Symplectic Manifold 辛流形

A symplectic manifold carries a closed nondegenerate differential two-form.

Terminology

Szemerédi's Graph Regularity Lemma

A bounded partition makes most vertex pairs behave regularly with respect to edge density. The energy-increment proof explains why repeated refinements terminate, despite the rapidly growing number of parts.

Tangent Space 切空间

The tangent space at a manifold point captures first-order directions in local smooth coordinates.

Terminology

Tensor Product of Modules 模的张量积

The tensor product represents balanced bilinear maps from a right module and a left module.

Terminology

Thom Isomorphism

A Thom class shifts cohomology from a vector bundle's base into the relative cohomology of its disk and sphere bundles. Track the orientation hypothesis when moving from mod-two to integer coefficients.

Tilting of Perfectoid Spaces

Tilting relates perfectoid spaces over a perfectoid field to spaces over its characteristic-p tilt. Follow the functorial definition and the gluing theorem, noting the identification of underlying topological spaces.

topological conjugacy 拓扑共轭

A homeomorphism intertwining two evolution maps transports their orbit structure. Use the defining commuting equation to track periodic points and transitivity, and distinguish this equivalence from a noninvertible factor map.

Terminology

topological entropy 拓扑熵

Topological entropy measures the exponential growth of orbit segments distinguishable at a fixed resolution. Compare spanning and separated sets before using the variational principle to relate this growth to invariant measures.

Terminology

Topological Space 拓扑空间

A topology specifies open subsets and thereby continuity without choosing distances.

Terminology

Topological Transitivity 拓扑传递

Topological transitivity means some iterate connects any prescribed pair of nonempty open regions.

Terminology

Tree in Graph Theory 树

A finite tree is a nonempty connected simple graph without cycles, equivalently one with a unique path between every pair of vertices.

Terminology

Uniform Continuity 一致连续

Uniform continuity uses one input tolerance for every pair of points in a domain.
