  ESRI News -- ArcNews Summer 2002 Issue -- ArcGIS 8.3 Brings Topology to the Geodatabase
Topology rules, when applied to geographic features or feature classes in a geodatabase, enable GIS users to model such spatial relationships as connectivity (are all of my road lines connected?) and adjacency (are there gaps between my parcel polygons?).
Topology is also used to manage the integrity of coincident geometry between different feature classes (e.g., are the coastlines and country boundaries coincident?).
A topology is a set of integrity rules for the spatial relationships along with a few important properties: a cluster tolerance, feature class ranks (for coordinate accuracy), errors (rule violations), and any exceptions to the rules you've defined.

Topology (Greek topos, "place," and logos, "study") is a branch of mathematics that is an extension of geometry.
The most basic division within topology is into point-set topology, which investigates such concepts as compactness, connectedness, countability, and algebraic topology, which investigates such concepts as homotopy, homology, and knot theory.
In pointless topology one considers instead the lattice of open sets as the basic notion of the theory, while Grothendieck topologies are certain structures defined on arbitrary categories which allow the definition of sheaves on those categories, and with that the definition of quite general cohomology theories.

  Cover (topology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a cover of a set X is a collection of subsets C of X whose union is X.
Covers are commonly used in the context of topology.
An open cover of X is said to be locally finite if every point of X has a neighborhood which intersects only finitely many sets in the cover.

 Topology Summary
Topology is sometimes called "rubber-sheet geometry" because if a shape is drawn on a rubber sheet (like a piece of a balloon), then all of the shapes you can make by stretching or twisting—but never tearing—the sheet are considered to be topologically the same.
Topology has sometimes been called rubber-sheet geometry, because it does not distinguish between a circle and a square (a circle made out of a rubber band can be stretched into a square) but does distinguish between a circle and a figure eight (you cannot stretch a figure eight into a circle without tearing).
However, Lacan's use of topology, like his use of algebra, does not meet the standards of rigour normally evinced by a mathematical discipline, and should be seen more as an analogy (the value of which is left to the reader to decide upon) than as a branch of applied mathematics.

Topology is "rubber geometry," technically, the mathematics of bicontinuous one-to-one transformations of a set of points comprising a so-called space.
Associated with the points is a family of "open sets" that cover the space, like the response fields that constitute neighborhoods of the actual neurons in the brain.
This is where algebraic topology comes in, in the form of simplicial topology and fibrations.

Even though the book has no figures (as one would expect from a topology book), almost every detail is covered and there are not obscure parts in the proofs.
Many books of topology cover just that, but this one goes all the way to generalizations in other areas as is appropriate for topologists.
Topology is about geography, shapes and sizes, folding and stretching/squeezing without breaking.

If X is a countably paracompact normal space, then the fine topology coincides with the graph topology and if moreover Y is separable, then the fine topology coincides with the Krikorian topology.
The fine topology on C(X,\Bbb R) is seen to behave like a metric topology in the sense that weight, density, Lindelof number and cellularity are all equal for this topology.
To answer some questions from the paper "G. DiMaio, S. Naimpally, Proximal Topologies 10, Q \& A in General Topology (1992), 97 -- 125" other function spaces are investigated, namely, Krikorian topology, open-cover topology, graph topology, topology of uniform convergence and proximal graph topology.

 Topology --- cover page   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Course Description: Topology is a relatively new branch of geometry that studies very general properties of geometric objects, how these objects can be modified, and the relations between them.
Three key concepts in topology are compactness, connectedness, and continuity, and the mathematics associated with these concepts is the focus of the course.
Continuous functions are studied in calculus, and the general concept can be thought of as a way by which functions permit us to compare properties of different spaces or as a way of modifying one space so that it has the shape or properties of another.

The topology S3 means that any flat projection (ala Alexa) is going to cause distortion Failure to account for the Z2 (double-cover) will cause global neighborhood errors.
The only way to handle the topology problems is to explicitly know what group you are dealing with, and to account for that space.
Alexa is treating the global topology as S1*S1*S1, which is just wrong, that's not the same as S3, which is what he should be using.

The family t is called a topology (for X) when it satisfies these axioms and its elements are called _open sets_ (open wrt the topology).
The topological space (X,t) is defined to be _compact_ if for every open cover F of X, there is a FINITE subset F' of F which is also a cover of X. A subset of X is compact if the induced (subspace) topology is compact.
Call a topology t _stronger_ than the topology t' (both for the same set X) if t is contained in t'.

 2005 Summer Research Conference on Quantum Topology--Contemporary Issues and Perspectives
Quantum topology is the interdisciplinary study of a number of new invariants of manifolds, links, and related objects, as well as some possible frameworks for them.
It was born through a few independent contributions in the early 1980s and quickly ramified into a wide variety of techniques at several levels of abstraction and generality.
The algebraic topology of the above invariants is a particularly important aspect to be explored.
