of an inverse spectrum $\{X_\alpha,\omega_\alpha^\beta:\alpha\in\mathfrak A\}$

A system $x=\{x_\alpha\}$ of points $x_\alpha\in X_\alpha$ (one point from every $X_\alpha$), that is, a point of the product $\prod_{\alpha\in\mathfrak A}X_\alpha$ of the sets $X_\alpha$, such that $\omega_\alpha^\beta(x_\beta)=x_\alpha$ whenever $\beta>\alpha$.


Comments

The sets of threads of an inverse spectrum (or projective system, or inverse system) is called the (projective, inverse) limit of that spectrum (see the editorial comments to Limit).
