Noref date December 2009 seealso Classification of manifolds Point set In mathematics , a closed manifold is a type of topological space , namely a compact space compact manifold without boundary. In contexts where no boundary is possible, any compact manifold is a closed manifold. The simplest example is a circle , which is a compact one dimensional manifold. Other examples of closed manifolds are the torus and the Klein bottle . As a counterexample, the real line is not a closed manifold because it is not compact. A Disk mathematics disk is a compact two dimensional manifold, but is not a closed manifold because it has a boundary. Compact manifolds are, in an intuitive sense, finite . By the basic properties of compactness, a closed manifold is the disjoint union of a finite number of connected closed manifolds. One of the most basic objectives of geometric topology is to understand what the supply of possible closed manifolds is. All compact topological manifolds can be embedded into math mathbf R n math for some n , by the Whitney embedding theorem . Contrasting terms A compact manifold means a manifold that is compact as a topological space, but possibly has boundary. More precisely, it is a compact manifold with boundary the boundary may be empty . By contrast, a closed manifold is compact without boundary. An open manifold is a manifold without boundary with no compact component. For a connected manifold, open is equivalent to without boundary and non compact , but for a disconnected manifold, open is stronger. For instance, the disjoint union of a circle and the line is non compact, but is not an open manifold, since one component the circle is compact. The notion of closed manifold is unrelated with that of a closed set . A disk with its boundary is a closed set, but not a closed manifold.

In category theory , a branch of mathematics , a closed category is a special kind of category mathematics category . In any category more precisely, in any locally small category , the morphisms between any two given objects x and y comprise a set mathematics set , the external hom x , y . In a closed category, these morphisms can be seen as comprising an object of the category itself, the internal hom x , y . Every closed category has a forgetful functor to the category of sets , which in particular takes the internal hom to the external hom. Definition A closed category can be defined as a category mathematics category V with a so called internal Hom functor math left right V op times V to V math , left Yoneda arrows natural in math B math and math C math and dinatural in math A math math L left B C right to left left A B right left A C right right math and a fixed object I of V such that there is a natural isomorphism math i A A cong left I A right math and a dinatural transformation math j A I to left A A right . , math Examples Cartesian closed category Cartesian closed categories are closed categories. In particular, any topos is closed. The canonical example is the category of sets . Compact closed category Compact closed categories are closed categories. The canonical example is the category mathematics category FdVect with finite dimensional vector spaces as objects and linear maps as morphisms. More generally, any monoidal closed category is a closed category. In this case, the object math I math is the monoidal unit. References Eilenberg, S. & Kelly, G.M.

Unreferenced date February 2007 About the closed circle argument books titled The Closed Circle The Closed Circle disambiguation For the concept in detective fiction, see closed circle of suspects . A closed circle argument is one that is falsifiability unfalsifiable . Psychoanalytic theory, for example, is held up by the proponents of Karl Popper as an example of an ideology rather than a science . A patient regarded by his psychoanalyst as in denial about his sexual orientation may be viewed as confirming he is homosexual simply by denying that he is and if he has sex with women, he may be accused of trying to buttress his denials. In other words, there is no way the patient could convincingly demonstrate his heterosexuality to his analyst. This is an example of what Popper called a closed circle The proposition that the patient is homosexual is not falsifiable. Closed circle theory is sometimes used to denote a relativism relativist , anti realism anti realist philosophy of science, such that different groups may have different self consistent truth claims about the natural world. philosophy stub Category Philosophical arguments Category Philosophy of science sv Cirkelresonemang ... more details

In mathematics , more specifically in abstract algebra , the concept of integrally closed has two meanings, one for group mathematics groups and one for ring mathematics rings . are the concepts related? Commutative rings main Integrally closed domain A commutative ring math R math contained in a ring math S math is said to be integrally closed in math S math if math R math is equal to the integral closure of math R math in math S math . That is, for every monic polynomial f with coefficients in math R math , every root of f belonging to S also belongs to math R math . Typically if one refers to a domain being integrally closed without reference to an overring , it is meant that the ring is integrally closed in its field of fractions , the largest overring of the domain. If the ring is not a domain, typically being integrally closed means that every local ring is an integrally closed domain. Sometimes a domain that is integrally closed is called normal if it is integrally closed and being thought of as a variety. In this respect, the normalization of a Algebraic variety variety or scheme mathematics scheme is simply the math Spec math of the integral closure of all of the rings. Ordered groups An ordered group G is called integrally closed if and only if for all elements a and b of G , if a sup n sup b for all natural n then a 1. This property is somewhat stronger than the fact that an ordered group is Archimedean property Archimedean . Though for a lattice ordered group to be integrally closed and to be Archimedean is equivalent. We have the surprising theorem that every integrally closed directed set directed group is already abelian group abelian . This has to do with the fact that a directed group is embeddable into a complete lattice ordered group if and only if it is integrally closed. Furthermore, every archimedean lattice ordered group is abelian. References R. Hartshorne, Algebraic Geometry , Springer Verlag 1977 M. Atiyah, I.

In linguistics , a closed class or closed word class is a word class to which no new items can normally be added, and that usually contains a relatively small number of items. Typical closed classes found in many languages are adposition s preposition s and postposition s , determiner class determiner s, grammatical conjunction conjunction s, and pronoun s. ref http strazny.com encyclopedia sample function words.html Closed class words ref Contrastingly, an Open class linguistics open class offers possibilities for expansion. Typical open classes such as noun s and verb s can and do get new words often, through the usual means such as compound linguistics compounding , derivation linguistics derivation , coining, borrowing, etc. ref http www.ucl.ac.uk internet grammar wordclas wordclas.htm Both open and closed class words ref A closed class may get new items through these same processes, but the change takes much more time. The closed class is normally viewed as part of the core language and is not expected to change. Most readers can undoubtedly think of new nouns or verbs entering their lexicon, but it s very unlikely that they can recall any new prepositions or pronouns appearing in the same fashion. Different languages have different word classes as open class and closed class for example, in English, pronouns are closed class and verbs are open class see for example the contentious topic of Gender neutral pronoun English gender neutral pronouns in English and how common verbing is , while in Japanese, Japanese pronouns pronouns are open class, while verbs are closed class to form a new verb, one suffixes suru, to do to a noun for example, to exercise is to do exercise .

The term closed system has different meanings in different contexts. In thermodynamics main Thermodynamic system In thermodynamics , a closed system can exchange energy as heat or mechanical work work , but not matter , with its surroundings. In contrast, an isolated system cannot exchange any of heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an Thermodynamic system Open system open system can exchange all of heat, work and matter. For a simple system, with only one type of particle atom or molecule , a closed system amounts to a constant number of particles. However, for systems which are undergoing a chemical equilibrium chemical reaction , there may be all sorts of molecules being generated and destroyed by the reaction process. In this case, the fact that the system is closed is expressed by stating that the total number of each elemental atom is conserved, no matter what kind of molecule it may be a part of. Mathematically math sum j 1 m a ij N j b i math where math N j math is the number of j type molecules, math a ij math is the number of atoms of element i in molecule j and b sub i sub is the total number of atoms of element i in the system, which remains constant, since the system is closed. There will be one such equation for each different element in the system. In classical mechanics In Theory of relativity nonrelativistic classical mechanics , a closed system is a physical system which doesn t exchange any matter with its surroundings, and isn t subject to any force whose source is external to the system. ref cite book last Rana first N.C. coauthors P.S.
