In this paper, we consider the space 2 of the planar homeomorphisms that are obtained by gluing two translations together, endowed with the compact-open topology.
The sum operator has the effect of gluing together two modules - see rule (m-sum).
Each presentation of a surface can be reduced to a singleton by inverse and gluing operations since a surface is connected.
No prefix gluing in the cycle can involve a reduction in alphabet.
This is clear if 1 is obtained by a prefix gluing which involves a reduction in alphabet, so suppose otherwise.
Choosing intermediate trees for gluing spindles to trees.
We let active pf-sets grow by gluing them with other pf-sets.
Gluing copies of a 3-dimensional polyhedron to obtain a closed nonpositively curved (pseudo)manifold.
