Localization (mathematics)
- Localization (mathematics)
In mathematics, the term localization may refer to:
* Localization of a category, adding to a category inverse morphisms for some collection of morphisms, constraining them to become isomorphisms
* Localization of a ring, in abstract algebra, a systematic method of adding multiplicative inverses to a ring
* Localization of a module, a closely related construction that introduces denominators into a module over a ring
* Localization of a topological space

Localization of a topological space — In mathematics, well behaved topological spaces can be localized at primes, in a similar way to the localization of a ring at a prime. This construction was described by Dennis Sullivan in 1970 lecture notes that were finally published in… … Wikipedia
Localization of a module — In mathematics, the localization of a module is a construction to introduce denominators in a module for a ring. More precisely, it is a systematic way to construct a new module S −1 M out of a given module M containing fractions… … Wikipedia
Localization of a category — In mathematics, localization of a category consists of adding to a category inverse morphisms for some collection of morphisms, constraining them to become isomorphisms. This is formally similar to the process of localization of a ring; it in… … Wikipedia
