Homology

Noun

Definitionen

1.NounThe relationship of being homologous; a homologous relationship. specifically, such relationship in the context of the geometry of perspective. An automorphism of the projective plane (representing a perspective projection) that leaves all the points of some straight line (the homology axis) fixed and maps all the lines through some single point (the homology centre) onto themselves.
"If the homology centre lies on the homology axis, the homology is said to be singular or parabolic; otherwise, it is called non-singular or hyperbolic.; Because of their connection with both homology and cohomology, chain complexes are an important topic of study in homological algebra.; "
