The Stratified Structure Of Spaces Of Smooth Orbifold Mappings, Joseph E. Borzellino, Victor Brunsden
The Stratified Structure Of Spaces Of Smooth Orbifold Mappings, Joseph E. Borzellino, Victor Brunsden
Mathematics
We consider four notions of maps between smooth C∞ orbifolds , with compact (without boundary). We show that one of these notions is natural and necessary in order to uniquely define the notion of orbibundle pullback. For the notion of complete orbifold map, we show that the corresponding set of Cr maps between and with the Cr topology carries the structure of a smooth C∞ Banach (r finite)/Fréchet (r = ∞) manifold. For the notion of complete reduced orbifold map, the corresponding set of Cr maps between and with the Cr topology carries the …

Hilbert Space Theory And Applications In Basic Quantum Mechanics, Matthew Gagne
Mathematics
We explore the basic mathematical physics of quantum mechanics. Our primary focus will be on Hilbert space theory and applications as well as the theory of linear operators on Hilbert space. We show how Hermitian operators are used to represent quantum observables and investigate the spectrum of various linear operators. We discuss deviation and uncertainty and briefly suggest how symmetry and representations are involved in quantum theory.
