But I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart.
But these manifold mistakes in depicting the whale are not so very surprising after all.
This gives an equivalent more geometric way of describing the connection in terms of lifting paths in the manifold to paths in the frame bundle.
In mathematics and theoretical physics, the induced metric is the metric tensor defined on a submanifold which is calculated from the metric tensor on a larger manifold into which the submanifold is embedded.
Let
be a map from the domain of the curve formula_7 with parameter formula_8 into the euclidean manifold formula_9.
In other words, the manifold formula_7 admits Riemannian metrics with higher systolic ratio formula_9 than for its symmetric metric, see Bangert et al.
In mathematics, Donaldson's theorem states that a definite intersection form of a simply connected smooth manifold of dimension 4 is diagonalisable.
Michael Freedman had previously shown that any unimodular symmetric bilinear form is realized as the intersection form of some closed, oriented four-manifold.
Based on the Helmholtz resonance principle, the intake manifold is equipped with 3 chambers tuned to a specific resonant frequency.
A series of two butterfly valves coupled with electronically controlled actuators varied the volume and length of a resonant chamber within the intake manifold.
If "X" is a manifold, "Mf" will be a manifold of dimension one higher, and it is said to "fiber over the circle".
A deep result of Thurston states that in this case the 3-manifold "Mf" is hyperbolic if and only if "f" is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism of "S".
In mathematics, a statistical manifold is a Riemannian manifold, each of whose points is a probability distribution.
A simple example of a statistical manifold, taken from physics, would be the canonical ensemble: it is a one-dimensional manifold, with the temperature "T" serving as the coordinate on the manifold.
Thus, the dosage is the coordinate on the manifold.
Let "X" be an orientable manifold, and let formula_1 be a measure on "X".
The statistical manifold "S"("X") of "X" is defined as the space of all measures formula_6 on "X" (with the sigma-algebra formula_7 held fixed).
Restricting to gauge transformations that preserve the connection at infinity gives a 4"k"-dimensional manifold "M""k", which is a circle bundle over the true moduli space and carries a natural complete hyperKähler metric (c.f. also Kähler–Einstein manifold).
With suspected to any of the complex structures of the hyper-Kähler family, this manifold is holomorphically equivalent to the space of based rational mapping of degree "k" from "P"1 to itself.
Given a circle in the boundary of a manifold, we would often like to find a disk embedded in the manifold whose boundary is the given circle.
If the manifold is simply connected then we can find a map from a disc to the manifold with boundary the given circle, and if the manifold is of dimension at least 5 then by putting this disc in "general position" it becomes an embedding.
In particular, a disc (of dimension 2) in general position will have no self intersections inside a manifold of dimension greater than 2+2.
If the manifold is 4 dimensional, this does not work: the problem is that a disc in general position may have double points where two points of the disc have the same image.
Informally we can think of this as taking a small neighborhood of the skeleton (thought of as embedded in some 4-manifold).
Monogenic functions are special cases of harmonic spinors on a spin manifold.

where τ is the scalar curvature on the manifold, and Γ* is the adjoint of Γ.
