Embedding

An embedding is an injective homomorphism which induces an isomorphism with its image. See Regular monomorphism for a categorical generalization.

Topology

An embedding is an injective continuous map 𝑓 :π‘Œ β†ͺ𝑋 such that it would be impossible for π‘Œ to have a coarser topology, i.e. the topology of π‘Œ is the same as the Subspace topology induced by 𝑓.1 topology

Differential topology

A πΆπ‘˜ embedding of π‘Œ in 𝑋 is a πΆπ‘˜ diffeomorphism between π‘Œ and a submanifold of 𝑋. diff
