(n)
generalization
In mathematics, the process or result of modifying a proposition so as to obtain another having wider subject and predicate, but such that a limitation which, if applied to the new subject, gives the old subject, will reproduce the old predicate when applied to the new. For example, Fermat's theorem is that if ρ is any positive prime number and a any number not divisible by ρ, then the division of αρ by ρ leaves 1 as the remainder. A generalization of this is, that if κ is any positive integer, and φκ the number of numbers as small as κ and prime to it, and α is any number relatively prime to κ, then the division of αφκ by κ leaves 1 as the remainder; for when κ is a prime number, φκ = κ—1, and every number not divisible by κ is prime to it. The language of mathematics differs from that of logic in that from every generalization of a proposition the proposition itself is immediately deducible, which is not true in the logicians' sense of the word. The distinction between generalization and extension in mathematical language is not very clear, but the latter term applies primarily to a conception or function which has received a new and wider definition; also, the modification of a proposition concerning two dimensions so as to make it apply to three is called an extension. -

In general, if N is a generalized complex submanifold then the induced generalized complex need not have σ ′ = 0.
Generalized Complex Submanifolds
We are now ready to prove our last theorem, namely that these conditions are guaranteed to be satisfied by a generalized K ¨ahler structure and so our notion of generalized complex submanifold preserves generalized K ¨ahler structures.
Generalized Complex Submanifolds
Generalized K¨ahler manifolds are a special type of generalized complex manifolds, and as such many of their properties stem from general properties of generalized complex structures.
Formality in generalized Kahler geometry
It follows that a generalized bracket of two generalized vector fields can be defined and generalized vector fields form a Lie algebra with this generalized bracket.
Generalized forms and vector fields
We could define a generalized vector as an ordered pair of a vector and a bivector, dual to a generalized one-form, referring either to the ring of real functions, or to the ring of generalized zero-forms.

And still my presence marred the general peace,
And when I parted, leaving them behind,
They felt, and I, release.
It was matter for general remark,
Rushed madly ahead and was lost to their view
In his zeal to discover the Snark
Thou givest again a rocking-horse to ride,
And wildly glad he groweth as the grim
Old jurist with the drum thou givest him:
But the night of that, mist lifting, rain ceasing,
Silent as a ghost, while they thought they were sure of him, my
General retreated.
The blind Boy's little dog took part;
He leapt about, and oft did kiss
His master's hands in sign of bliss,
With sound like lamentation.
By virtue rapt, by party uncontroll'd;
Britons for Britain shall the crook employ;
Britons for Britain's glory shear the fold."
