	Finite intersection property - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In topology, the finite intersection property is a property of a collection of subsets of a set X.
		This is trivially satisfied if the intersection over the entire collection is nonempty (in particular, if the collection itself is empty), and it is also trivially satisfied if the collection is nested, meaning that for any finite subcollection, a particular element of the subcollection is contained in all the other elements of the subcollection, e.g.
		The finite intersection property is useful in formulating an alternative definition of compactness: a space is compact if and only if every collection of closed sets satisfying the finite intersection property has nonempty intersection itself.

	Tychonoff's theorem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To actually prove Tychonoff's theorem, we use the definition of compactness based on the FIP, by taking an FIP collection A of sets, and showing that the intersection over closures of elements of A is nonempty.
		But then these basis elements intersect every element of D, and so x is a limit point of each element of D, and so is in the closure of each element of D.
		Another proof uses the Alexander subbase theorem, and yet another proof follows trivially from the properties of nets on product spaces, in particular that a net converges in a product space iff each coordinate converges and the fact that compactness can be expressed in terms of nets.

	Properties
		Properties, by contrast, do not seem to have spatial parts; indeed, they are sometimes said to be wholly-present in each of their instances.
		Properties and relations measured on an interval scale are invariant under positive linear transformations, but this isn't true of all properties and relations measured on ordinal scales.
		The fact that properties confer causal powers on their instances is also naturally understood as the claim that the instances of a property have those powers in all possible worlds in which that property exists.

		We prove that the number of near-coherence classes of non-principal ultrafilters on the natural numbers is either finite or at least the larger of the dominating number and the minimum number of generators for such an ultrafilter.
		We study some weakenings of the finite intersection property for families of subsets of the natural numbers.
		The weakenings involve (1) requiring intersections for only a fixed number of sets from the family and (2) requiring the sets to have elements near each other rather than actually intersecting.

	Journey through Intersection Graph County (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Although a large amount of work has been done for several intersection graph models, there are still only very few basic concepts and ideas which work for general intersection graphs, and even these ideas are not as widely known as they maybe should.
		In application it is often important to find certain large substructures in the intersection graphs occuring, see this or this or this example.
		By duality, intersection graphs should be viewed as the union of certain complete subgraphs---if we have the Helly-property, these complete subgraphs are really (maximal) cliques.

	Finite Rings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Hence the intersection of all prime ideals is also the ideal consisting of all nilpotent elements of a ring; this ideal is called the nil radical of the ring.
		When the ring under consideration is Noetherian, the nil radical is finitely generated so there is an upper bound k on the index of nilpotency of the generators.
		The Jacobson radical of an Artinian ring is the product of its (finite collection of) maximal ideals and is a nilpotent ideal; each prime ideal is maximal and consists of zero-divisors; the complement of the union of all maximal ideals consists of units.

		It is also possible to define a hypergraph in a more general way as a pair of sets (X,E) where E is some arbitrary subset of the power set of X.
		A property of graphs that encourages their study, is that it is easy to draw a representation of them on a piece of paper.
		This is not so for hypergraphs and so their study tends to be conducted using the nomenclature of set theory rather than the more pictoral descriptions (for instance 'trees','forests' and 'cycles') of graph theory.

	All finite distributive lattices occur as intervals between Hausdorff topologies

		The distribution of Compton scattered photons from a particular point in space can be described as the sum of a set of annula (rings) centered at the intersection of the second detection plane with the vector originating at the scattering point and continuing along the direction of the incoming photon, as shown in Figures 4C-4E.

		The first and second detector layers (666 and 668) are shown in a second position with radius vector 676, chosen for rebinning purposes to be perpendicular to this incident path (for the purpose of equivalent parallel collimation).
