Zariski topology
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Zariski topologies
Etymology: After Russian-born American mathematician Oscar Zariski (1899—1986), regarded as one of the most influential algebraic geometers of the 20th century.
Senses: examples: text: The Zariski topology allows tools from topology to be used in the study of algebraic varieties, even when the underlying field is not a topological field.
text: Thus the Zariski open subsets are 'very big'; in particular, the Zariski topology is highly non-Hausdorff.
A further difference with the classical topology is that the Zariski topology on the product X#92;timesY of two affine varieties is stronger than the product of the Zariski topologies on X and Y.
ref: 1994, V. I. Danilov, “II. Algebraic Varieties and Schemes”, in I. R. Shafarevich, editor, Algebraic Geometry I: Algebraic Curves, Algebraic Manifolds and Schemes, Springer, page 184:
text: In particular, “singular” is a local notion, where “local” so far was mainly considered with respect to the Zariski topology. However, since the Zariski topology is so coarse, small neighbourhoods in the Zariski topology might not be local enough.
ref: 2008, Gert-Martin Greuel, Gerhard Pfister, A Singular Introduction to Commutative Algebra, 2nd edition, Springer, page 523:
text: If Y#92;subseteqKⁿ is an affine variety, then by definition the Zariski topology on Y has the subvarieties of Y as closed sets.
ref: 2011, Gregor Kemper, A Course in Commutative Algebra, Springer, page 34:
topics: algebraic-geometry
geometry
mathematics
sciences
glosses: Originally, a topology applicable to algebraic varieties, such that the closed sets are the variety's algebraic subvarieties; later, a generalisation in which the topological space is the set of prime ideals of a commutative ring and is called the spectrum of the ring.

Part of speech: noun

Senses: examples: text: M. [Théodore] Flournoy includes all the phenomena of "Colored Hearing" and of "Mental Forms" under the convenient and adequate name Synæsthesia—in place of which, to be sure, he himself usually employs the less defensible term Synopsie. […] The phenomena of synæsthesia are divided into three main groups: "photisms," among which are included, as by [Eugen] Bleuler and Lehmann, all the varieties of pseudo-chromesthesia; "Schemes," comprising not only "forms" (diagrammes) associated with series of words or numbers, but "symbols," or particular figures associated with single letters, numerals, colors and the like; and "personifications," in which the associated factor is no mere color or form, but has become richer and more concrete.

text: For me Saturday was a bright red color, just as the other days of the week were chromatically coded. […] This wasn't the true synæsthesia which is such a fascinating mystical hint, a loose thread in the fabric of perception left a-dangle, an unravelling which suggests that we could dissolve all our unreal categories.
ref: 2008, Adam Mars-Jones, “Permission to Die”, in Pilcrow: Novel, London: Faber and Faber, →ISBN; 1st paperback edition, London, 2009, →ISBN, page 231:
