Definition
C2Algebraic Geometry
(technical, academic)A morphism between algebraic varieties defined by polynomial functions.
Example
- In algebraic geometry, a regular map can be locally described by polynomials.
C2Graph Theory
(technical, academic)A symmetric embedding of a graph into a closed surface where each vertex-edge-face triple can be transformed into any other by a symmetry.
Example
- A regular map in graph theory ensures that the graph's structure is uniformly embedded on the surface.
