More concepts to explore

  • Covering spaces

    A covering locally maps disjoint sheets homeomorphically onto an open neighborhood.

  • Hausdorff spaces

    Distinct points admit disjoint neighborhoods in a Hausdorff space.

  • Homotopy

    A homotopy continuously deforms one map into another.

  • Connectedness

    A connected space cannot be separated into two disjoint nonempty open pieces.

  • Homeomorphisms

    A homeomorphism is a bijection continuous in both directions.
