Word: Riemann sphere Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Named after German mathematician Bernhard Riemann. 1. The complex numbers extended with the number ∞; the complex plane (representation of the complex numbers as a Euclidean plane) extended with a single idealised point at infinity and consequently homeomorphic to a sphere in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Example: We use #92;hat#123;#92;Complex#125;#92;times (resp. #92;Complex) to denote the subset #92;#123;z#92;in#92;hat#92;Complex#58;z#92;ne 0#92;#125; (resp. #92;#123;z#92;in#92;hat#92;Complex#58;z#92;ne#92;infty#92;#125;) in the Riemann sphere #92;hat#92;Complex. 2. The 2-sphere embedded in Euclidean three-dimensional space and often represented as a unit sphere, regarded as a homeomorphic representation of the extended complex plane and thus the extended complex numbers. Example: 1967 [Prentice-Hall], Richard A. Silverman, Introductory Complex Analysis, Dover, 1972, page 22, Every circle γ on the Riemann sphere Σ which does not go through a given point P^*∈Σ divides Σ into two parts, such that one part contains P^* and the other does not. Example: In order to visualize the point at infinity, we consider the Riemann sphere that has radius 1#47;2 and is tangent to the complex plane at the origin (see Figure 1.8). We call the point of contact the south pole (denoted by S) and the point diametrically opposite S the north pole (denoted by N). Let z be an arbitrary point in the complex plane, represented by the point P. We draw the line PN which intersects the Riemann sphere at the unique point P', distinct from N. Conversely, to each point P' on the sphere, other than the north pole N, we draw the line P'N which cuts uniquely one point P in the complex plane. Clearly, there exists a one-to-one correspondence between points on the Riemann sphere, except N, and all the finite points on the complex plane. We assign the north pole N as the point at infinity. With such an assignment, we then establish a one-to-one correspondence between all the points on the Riemann sphere and all the points in the extended complex plane. This correspondence is known as the stereographic projection.

A polka jacket completes the costume. The embroidery on the dresses was literally sumptuous; what I most admired was a dove-coloured watered silk with a deep embroidery of wheat-ears in pure gold, the finest jeweller’s gold laid on in solid pieces for the leaves and ears, the stalks in gold thread. Example: When expecting company, they were decked out suitably. Calico for chemises was once issued, and, doubtless, made up by some of them in olden days. The polka jacket was gaily got up, though only worn on festive occasions. When I made a remark as to the paucity of clothes, and their miserable appearance in such weather, there was the repetition of the complaint of their selling for drink the dresses, even though all had been stamped with the Government mark.
