Path (topology)

In mathematics, a path in a topological space is a continuous function from the closed unit interval into Paths play an important role in the fields of topology and mathematical analysis. For example, a topological space for which there exists a path connecting any two points is said to be path-connected. Any space may be broken up into path-connected components. The set of path-connected components of a space is often denoted One can also define paths and loops in pointed spaces, which are important in homotopy theory. If is a topological space with basepoint then a path in is one whose initial point is . Likewise, a loop in is one that is based at . (Wikipedia).

Connectedness

In this video, I define connectedness, which is a very important concept in topology and math in general. Essentially, it means that your space only consists of one piece, whereas disconnected spaces have two or more pieces. I also define the related notion of path-connectedness. Topology

What is a closed set ?

I define closed sets, an important notion in topology and analysis. It is defined in terms of limit points, and has a priori nothing to do with open sets. Yet I show the important result that a set is closed if and only if its complement is open. More topology videos can be found on my pla

What is a Path? | Graph Theory

What is a path in the context of graph theory? We go over that in today's math lesson! We have discussed walks, trails, and even circuits, now it is about time we get to paths! Recall that a walk is a sequence of vertices in a graph, such that consecutive vertices are adjacent. A path is t

What is a Path Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a path graph? We have previously discussed paths as being ways of moving through graphs without repeating vertices or edges, but today we can also talk about paths as being graphs themselves, and that is the topic of today's math lesson! A path graph is a graph whose vertices can

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Lesson 34 -Introduction to Homotopy

Lie Groups and Lie Algebras: Introduction to Homotopy In order to proceed with Gilmore's study of Lie groups and Lie algebras we now need a concept from algebraic topology. That concept is the notion of homotopy and the Fundamental Group of a topological space. In this lecture we provide

In joint work with Saul Glasman and Peter Haine, we proved that the derived ∞-category of constructible ℓ-adic sheaves ’is’ the ∞-category of continuous functors from an explicitly defined 1-category to the ∞-category of perfect complexes over ℚℓ. In this series of talks, I want to offer s

Emilie Purvine (5/2/21): Homology of Graphs and Hypergraphs

Graphs and hypergraphs are typically studied from a combinatorial perspective. A graph being a collection of vertices and pairwise relationships (edges) among the vertices, and a hypergraph capturing multi-way or groupwise relationships (hyperedges) among the vertices. But both of these ob
