Pushforward

Pushforward

The notion of pushforward in mathematics is "dual" to the notion of pullback, and can mean a number of different, but closely related things.

*Pushforward (differential): the differential of a smooth map between manifolds, and the "pushforward" operations it defines.
*Direct image sheaf: the pushforward of a sheaf by a map.
*Pushforward (homology): the map induced in homology by a continuous map between topological spaces.
*Fiberwise integral: the direct image of a differential form or cohomology class by a smooth map, defined by "integration on the fibres".
*Pushout (category theory): the categorical dual of Pullback (category theory).
*Pushforward measure: the measure induced on the target measure space by a measurable function.
