Property they Homotopy extension property

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the December 30th, 2006

In mathematics, in the area of algebraic topology, the homotopy extension property indicates when a homotopy can be extended to another one, so that the original homotopy is simply the restriction of the extended homotopy.

Definition

Given <math>A \subset X </math>, we say that the pair <math>\mathbf{\mathit{(A,X)}}</math> has the homotopy extension property with respect to <math>\mathbf{\mathit{Y}}</math> if the following holds:

Given any continuous <math>f: X \to Y</math>, <math>g: A \to Y</math> for which there is a homotopy <math>G: A \times I \to Y</math> of <math>\mathbf{\mathit{f}}</math> and <math>\mathbf{\mathit{g}}</math>, we can extend this to a homotopy <math>F: X \times I \to Y</math> of <math>\mathbf{\mathit{f}}</math> and some <math>\mathbf{\mathit{g’}}</math>, where <math>g’ : X \to Y</math> and <math>g’\mid A = g</math>.


Other

If <math>\mathbf{\mathit{(A,X)}}</math> has the homotopy extension property independent of <math>\mathbf{\mathit{Y}}</math>, then the simple inclusion map <math>i: A \to X</math> is a cofibration.

In fact, if you consider any cofibration <math>i: Y \to Z</math>, then we have that <math>\mathbf{\mathit{Y}}</math> is homeomorphic to its image under <math>\mathbf{\mathit{i}}</math>. This implies that any cofibration can be treated as an inclusion map, and therefore it can be treated as having the homotopy extension property.

Real Customary freehold

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the December 19th, 2006

Customary freehold is in English law a species of tenure which may be described as a variety of copyhold. It is also termed privileged copyhold or copyhold of frank tenure. It is a tenure by copy of court roll, but not expressed to be at the will of the lord. It is, in fact, only a superior kind of copyhold, and the freehold is in the lord. It is subject to the general law of copyholds, except where the law may be varied by the custom of the particular manor.

Real estate Transfer tax

Posted in Uncategorized by admin on the December 8th, 2006

A transfer tax is a tax on the passing of title to property from one person (or entity) to another.

In a narrow legal sense, a transfer tax is essentially a transaction fee (often relatively small in relation to the value of property) imposed on the transfer of title to property. This kind of tax is typically imposed where there is a legal requirement for registration of the transfer, such as transfers of real estate, shares, or bond. Examples of such taxes include some forms of stamp duty, real estate transfer tax, and levies for the formal registration of a transfer. In some jurisdictions, transfers of certain forms of property require confirmation by a notary. While notarial fees may add to the cost of the transaction, they are not a transfer tax in the strict sense of the term.

In the United States, the term transfer tax also refers to Estate tax and Gift tax. Both these taxes levy a charge on the transfer of property from a person (or that person’s estate) to another without consideration. In 1900, the United States Supreme Court in the case of Knowlton v. Moore, 178 U.S. 41 (1900), confirmed that the estate tax was a tax on the transfer of property as a result of a death and not a tax on the property itself. The taxpayer argued that the estate tax was a direct tax and that, since it had not been apportioned among the states according to population, it was unconstitutional. The Court ruled that the estate tax, as a transfer tax (and not a tax on property by reason of its ownership) was an indirect tax. In the wake of Knowlton the Internal Revenue Code of the United States continues to refer to the Estate tax and the related Gift tax as “Transfer taxes.”

In this broader sense, estate tax, gift tax, capital gains tax, sales tax on goods (not services), and certain use taxes are all transfer taxes because they involve a tax on the transfer of title.
