Question

This word is the alphabetically later in a two word-named principle also named for Helmut Hasse which states that a quadratic form has a solution in the rationals if and only if it has a solution in any completion of the rationals. Small categories in which all hom-classes are sets are further described by this adjective. This word is the namesake of the ring operation written S inverse R, which generates a ring of fractions with denominators in S. Manifolds are often referred to as being “this adjective” Euclidean. (10[1])This adjective generically (10[1])describes properties of (10[1])topological spaces satisfied in a neighborhood around each point. Relative extrema are also named for this adjective, and occur when (-5[1])the derivative of a function changes sign. (-5[1])For 10 points, what kind of minimum may not be the smallest value a function takes over its entire domain? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: local [or locally; accept localization or local ring; accept locally small category; accept local property; accept local minimum or local maximum or local extremum]
