Word: inverse limit Part of Speech: noun 1. A subset of the Cartesian product of all the members of an inverse system, such that a member M of the subset is a sort of “cross section” of the inverse system (as fiber bundle) induced by the morphisms of it.

Example: An inverse limit has “natural projections” which are restrictions of the projections of the Cartesian product (to a domain which is the inverse limit). The reason why the projections are described as “natural” would be the following: besides the functor from an index poset to the inverse system, there is another functor from the same index poset to the inverse limit of that system, this functor being a constant functor. Then there is a natural transformation from the constant functor to the inverse limit’s functor: the components of such natural transformation are the said “natural projections”.

The illegal dumping of rubbish on unauthorised sites. Labels: UK, uncountable Example: Ten tonnes of rubbish have been removed by Network Rail from a trackside fly-tipping hotspot north of the station. Example: What can be done about fly-tipping? It’s one of the great scourges of the modern countryside – and it’s getting worse. Fly-tipping – the illegal dumping of rubbish on public land, farmland, laybys and country lanes – has soared to an all-time high in England, according to new statistics released by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). In 2024–25, 1.26m fly-tipping incidents were recorded by local authorities, an increase of almost 9% on the 1.15m reported for the previous year. These figures do not include waste cleared by private landowners from their land. Convicted fly-tippers can receive a significant fine, a community sentence or even a prison sentence. While fixed penalty notices for fly-tipping have increased by 9% over the past year, court fines have decreased by the same percentage. The picture in parts of Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland is similarly dismal. Many fly-tippers are getting away with it. It’s not just the odd mattress or bag of nappies. Some of the worst instances involve massive volumes of waste.
