Torsion-free abelian groupIn mathematics, specifically in abstract algebra, a torsion-free abelian group is an abelian group which has no non-trivial torsion elements; that is, a group in which the group operation is commutative and the identity element is the only element with finite order. While finitely generated abelian groups are completely classified, not much is known about infinitely generated abelian groups, even in the torsion-free countable case. Abelian group An abelian group is said to be torsion-free if no element other than the identity is of finite order.
Fuchsian modelIn mathematics, a Fuchsian model is a representation of a hyperbolic Riemann surface R as a quotient of the upper half-plane H by a Fuchsian group. Every hyperbolic Riemann surface admits such a representation. The concept is named after Lazarus Fuchs. By the uniformization theorem, every Riemann surface is either elliptic, parabolic or hyperbolic. More precisely this theorem states that a Riemann surface which is not isomorphic to either the Riemann sphere (the elliptic case) or a quotient of the complex plane by a discrete subgroup (the parabolic case) must be a quotient of the hyperbolic plane by a subgroup acting properly discontinuously and freely.
Module libreEn algèbre, un module libre est un module M qui possède une base B, c'est-à-dire un sous-ensemble de M tel que tout élément de M s'écrive de façon unique comme combinaison linéaire (finie) d'éléments de B. Une base de M est une partie B de M qui est à la fois : génératrice pour M, c'est-à-dire que tout élément de M est combinaison linéaire d'éléments de B ; libre, c'est-à-dire que pour toutes familles finies (ei)1≤i≤n d'éléments de B deux à deux distincts et (ai)1≤i≤n d'éléments de l'anneau sous-jacent telles que a1e1 + .
DifféotopieEn mathématiques, une difféotopie est une classe d'équivalence pour la relation d’isotopie entre difféomorphismes sur une variété différentielle. Plus explicitement, étant donnés deux difféomorphismes sur une telle variété M, c’est-à-dire deux applications φ, φ : M → M différentiables et bijectives avec des réciproques différentiables, on dit que ces difféomorphismes sont isotopes s’il existe une famille de difféomorphismes φ pour t ∈ ]0, 1[ telle que Φ : (t, x) ↦ φ(x) définisse une application différentiable sur [0, 1] × M.
Fundamental pair of periodsIn mathematics, a fundamental pair of periods is an ordered pair of complex numbers that defines a lattice in the complex plane. This type of lattice is the underlying object with which elliptic functions and modular forms are defined. A fundamental pair of periods is a pair of complex numbers such that their ratio is not real. If considered as vectors in , the two are not collinear. The lattice generated by and is This lattice is also sometimes denoted as to make clear that it depends on and It is also sometimes denoted by or or simply by The two generators and are called the lattice basis.
