 Cone (topology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In topology, especially algebraic topology, the cone CX of a topological space X is the quotient space:
The cone over a disk is the solid cone of classical geometry (hence the concept's name).
The cone is used in algebraic topology precisely because it embeds a space as a subspace of a contractible space.

 Topologies on Minkowski Space-Time, by Strashimir G. Popvassilev
S", or T" The fine topology on M, proposed by Zeeman in [2], is the finest topology on M which induces the 3-dimensional Euclidean topology on every space-axis and the 1-dimensional Euclidean topology on every time-axis.
The main result of Zeeman paper states that the group of all auto-homeomorphisms of the fine topology is generated by the Lorentz group (of all Lorentz transformations), translations and multiplications by scalars.
Lorentz group, the causal structure, various modifications of Zeeman topology, some groups of transformations which preserve certain subsets of the space-time - for example light cones or time like arcs) were investigated in [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], and [14] where a number of additional references is given.

Contemporary Mathematics The A-Category and A-Cone Length of a Map Martin Arkowitz, Donald Stanley and Jeffrey Strom Abstract.For any collection A of spaces we define two numerical invari- ants of maps: LA(f), the A-category of f, and LA(f), the A-cone length of f.
In this paper we simultaneously generalize both of these notions by defining the category and cone length of a map f relative to a collection A, denoted LA * *(f) and LA (f) and called the A-category and A-cone length of f, respectively.
Y is a mapping cone sequence with A 2 A, then `A (f) 1; (5) (Equivalence Axiom) If f is homotopy equivalent to g, then `A (f) = `A * *(g).

 Crystallographic Topology - Critical Nets 2
However, local topology may not be adequate to differentiate two closely related structures, such as fcc and hcp.
But now we have to double everything that was lying on the hemisphere surface where the mirror was located so we now have a cone with an antipodal identification operation on the cone's surface, which means the boundary cone is now a projective plane.
The resulting underlying space is half bounded by a mirror and half by a projective plane with a suspension point at the cone apex; thus it may be called a singly suspended silvered ball.

In ad hoc wireless networks, various topology control algorithms have been proposed to reduce the transmission range of nodes based on local information and yet maintain a connected topology.
We have designed an analytical framework for evaluating the performance of topology control algorithms using overall network throughput, and total energy consumption per packet delivered, as the metrics.
The topology of a wireless multi-hop network can be controlled by varying the transmission power at each node.

 A topological question
If repeated patterns, "circles in the sky", were to be found in the CMB radiation that would be evidence of a closed universe.
Try a cone, not only is it spatially finite, and so explains the large angle anisotopry deficiency but if of a large enough size would not necessarily show any detectable "circles in the sky", and is conformally flat, so it would be concordant with all the major WMAP features.
In the absence of such repeated patterns in the sky it might seem a little extravagant to invoke multiple-connected topologies, when a simply connected cone - the freely coasting closed universe - would do just as well.

 Dandelin's Spheres (PRIME)
lassically, conic sections (the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola) are defined by the intersection of a plane with a cone.
As a conic section, an ellipse is the intersection of a cone and a plane whose angle to the vertical is larger than that of the generator of the cone.
Evidently, as we would expect, the tangent curve between a sphere and a cone is a circle, one whose every point is equidistant from the vertex of the cone.

 Geometry and Topology - Numericana
The area of a trapezoid is the arithmetic average (i.e., the half-sum) of its two parallel bases multiplied by its height (the height is the distance between the bases).
Background : The so-called general quadratic equation you are giving describes planar curves which are known as conic sections, for historical reasons (the "ordinary" ones are obtained as the the intersection of a plane and a full cone, defined as the surface generated by a straight line rotating around an axis that intersects it).
A conic section may be an ellipse (possibly a circle), a parabola, or a hyperbola.

 CLTC: A Cluster-Based Topology Control Framework for Ad Hoc Networks   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The topology of an ad hoc network has a significant impact on its performance in that a dense topology may induce high interference and low capacity, while a sparse topology is vulnerable to link failure and network partitioning.
Topology control aims to maintain a topology that optimizes network performance while minimizing energy consumption.
In this paper, we present the CLTC framework; describe topology control algorithms based on CLTC and prove that k-connectivity is achieved using those algorithms; analyze the message complexity of an implementation of CLTC, namely, CLTC-A, and present simulation studies that evaluate the effectiveness of CLTC-A for a range of networks.

CHANGING THE DEFINITIONS: CONE POINTS If a symmetric plane pattern has a gyration point of order n, the angles at the corresponding point (a ``cone point'') in the associated surface will sum only to 360/n.
Henceforth, the_local angle defect_ at a cone point of order n shall equal 360/n - (sum of all the angles at the point) and now we shall call a surface_flat_ when when all its _local angle defects_ (in this new sense) equal 0.
Euler's formula tells us that we can determine V - E + F just from the topology of a surface (knowing how many handles, holes, mobius strips, cone points and corner points we have to add to a sphere to manufacture the surface).

Let O be a three-dimensional Nil–orbifold, with branching locus a knot Σ transverse to the Seifert fibration.
We prove that O is the limit of hyperbolic cone manifolds with cone angle in (π-ε,π).
As a corollary of this, we find examples of spherical cone manifolds with singular set a knot that are not locally rigid.

The size of the AS customer cone in terms of the number of ASes in the cone is a coarse measure since individual AS sizes can be drastically different.
The prefix customer cone of an AS is the union of its own prefix set and the prefix set of all the ASes in its AS customer cone.
The number of /24 prefixes in the cone better captures the contribution from smaller ASes that use and advertise smaller portions of IP address space.

 Conics (PRIME)
Although to most people the word “cone” conjures up an image of a solid figure with a round base and a pointed top, to a mathematician a cone is a surface, one which is obtained in a very precise way.
Notice that a cone has an upper half and a lower half (called the nappes), and that these are joined at a single point, called the vertex.
Second, our plane may have exactly the same angle to the vertical axis as the generator of the cone, so that it is parallel to the side of the cone.
