The lab approaches curved spaces and manifolds through mathematics.

AboutAbout the lab
Thinking about straight lines in curved space.
Prof. Yamada teaches mathematics in the Division of General Education at the University of Electro-Communications.
The professor's page lists workshops and conferences on Casson handles, low-dimensional and infinite-dimensional manifolds, Casson-Freedman theory, and the East Asia School on knots.
The page also lists an intensive lecture course, “Plane Curves and Surgery on 3-Manifolds,” at Tokyo Metropolitan University in November 2007, and a talk, “Straight Lines in Curved Space,” at Science Café Chofu in January 2019.
A note dated April 2010 on the page says that teaching within the department and supervising undergraduate and graduate students will be done only to the extent that it does not interfere with the professor's mathematics duties in the Division of General Education.
Key terms
- manifold
- A mathematical object that generalizes surfaces and similar objects. Looked at only locally, it resembles a plane or ordinary space.
- low-dimensional manifold
- A manifold of small dimension. Examples include surfaces and three-dimensional space.
- knot
- A mathematical object used to study how a closed loop of string, placed in space, can be tangled.
ResearchResearch themes
The research section of Prof. Yamada's page lists workshops and conferences on themes such as Casson handles, low-dimensional and infinite-dimensional manifolds, and Casson-Freedman theory. It also includes information on the East Asia School, which covers topics related to knots.
