Rational mapping
In mathematics, a rational mapping is a concept of algebraic geometry which resembles that of a partial function. Loosely speaking, a rational map is a regular map of algebraic varieties which is only defined on an open subset of the domain; the fact that this does, in fact, carry significant geometric data reflects the phenomenon that algebraic geometry is fundamentally more “rigid” than other geometries, for example differential geometry.
