John Willard Milnor (born February 20, 1931) is an American mathematician known for his work in differential topology, algebraic K-theory and low-dimensional...

Milnor conjecture may refer to: Milnor conjecture (K-theory) in algebraic K-theory Milnor conjecture (knot theory) in knot theory Milnor conjecture (Ricci...

In the mathematical theory of knots, the Fáry–Milnor theorem, named after István Fáry and John Milnor, states that three-dimensional smooth curves with...

mathematical subject of geometric group theory, the Švarc–Milnor lemma (sometimes also called Milnor–Švarc lemma, with both variants also sometimes spelling...

create new manifolds out of disk bundles. It was first described by John Milnor and subsequently used extensively in surgery theory to produce manifolds...

(hence the name "exotic"). The first exotic spheres were constructed by John Milnor (1956) in dimension n = 7 {\displaystyle n=7} as S 3 {\displaystyle S^{3}}...

In mathematics, Milnor maps are named in honor of John Milnor, who introduced them to topology and algebraic geometry in his book Singular Points of Complex...

analog of the knot group of a knot. They were described by John Milnor in his Ph.D. thesis, (Milnor 1954). Notably, the link group is not in general the fundamental...

In mathematics, the Milnor conjecture was a proposal by John Milnor (1970) of a description of the Milnor K-theory (mod 2) of a general field F with characteristic...

mathematics, Milnor K-theory is an algebraic invariant (denoted K ∗ ( F ) {\displaystyle K_{*}(F)} for a field F {\displaystyle F} ) defined by John Milnor (1970)...
