-
A.
Dehn twist
A Dehn twist is a fundamental type of self-homeomorphism of a surface obtained by cutting along a simple closed curve, twisting one side by 360 degrees, and gluing it back, playing a central role in low-dimensional topology and the study of mapping class groups.
-
B.
Dehn surgery
Dehn surgery is a fundamental operation in 3-manifold topology that modifies a 3-dimensional manifold by cutting out a solid torus and gluing it back in a different way, playing a central role in the classification and study of 3-manifolds.
-
C.
Dehn lemma
The Dehn lemma is a fundamental result in 3-manifold topology that gives conditions under which a loop on the boundary of a 3-manifold bounds an embedded disk in the manifold.
-
D.
Dehn invariant
The Dehn invariant is a mathematical quantity in geometry that helps determine whether two polyhedra are scissors-congruent, playing a key role in the solution of Hilbert’s third problem.
-
E.
Lefschetz fibration
A Lefschetz fibration is a smooth map from a higher-dimensional manifold to a lower-dimensional one whose singularities are modeled on complex Morse-type critical points, playing a central role in symplectic and complex geometry.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
