A duplicial algebra over is a vector space equipped with two bilinear maps , , verifying the following relations:

A bi-invariant metric on is a distance on such that for any in ,
It will be said if its composition with the map is a continuous map , where is endowed with the compact-open topology.
A linear transformation of a Leibniz algebra is called a derivation if for any
A multiplicative Lie algebra consists of a multiplicative (possibly nonabelian) group together with a binary function , which we shall call Lie product, satisfying the following identities for all in

A map between metric spaces has metrically parallel fibers if for every there exists such that
Let and be elements of . Then we define
A Riemannian manifold is asymptotically hyperbolic provided it is conformally compact, with smooth conformal compactification , and with conformal boundary , such that the metric on a deleted neighborhood of takes the form

Let be a locally finite graph, a finite graph, and an Aut( )-voltage assignment on . We define a graph bundle to be the graph with vertex set , with two vertices adjacent if either one of the following two conditions hold:
Let be a finite dimensional free module over a commutative ring with identity and let be an antisymmetric bilinear form such that for all . Then is a quandle with quandle operation
The dual quandle operation is given by
If is a field and the form is non-degenerate, i.e., if for all implies , then is symplectic vector space and is a symplectic form ; thus it is natural to refer to such as symplectic quandles . For simplicity, we will use the term “symplectic quandle over ” to refer to the general case where is any ring and is any antisymmetric bilinear form. If is non-degenerate, we will say is a non-degenerate symplectic quandle over . and are isometric if there is an -module isomorphism which preserves the bilinear form .
We say that are skew-orthogonal, denoted , if
Let and let be the quotient map. Suppose that
Then we say that is faithful . If in addition is normal, then we say that is faithfully normal .
