Topological manifold. In topology, a topological manifold is a topological space that locally resembles real n - dimensional Euclidean space. Topological manifolds are an important class of topological spaces, with applications throughout mathematics. All manifolds are topological manifolds by definition. Other types of manifolds are formed by ...

1. Manifolds. 1.1. Topological spaces and groups. Recall that the mathematical notion responsible for describing continuity is that of a topological space. Thus, to describe continuous symmetries, we should put this notion together with the notion of a group. This leads to the concept of a topological group.
manifold is also a topological manifold, where the charts are simply re-strictions ϕ| U of charts ϕfor M. For instance, the real n×nmatrices Mat(n,R) form a vector space isomorphic to Rn2, and contain an open subset GL(n,R) = {A∈Mat(n,R) : detA6= 0 }, (1) knownasthegenerallineargroup,whichisatopologicalmanifold.

S1 S1 is a topological manifold (of di-mension given by the number · · · . n of factors), with an atlas consisting of the 2n charts given by all possible n-fold products of the charts ÏN, ÏS defined above. The circle is a 1-dimensional sphere; we now describe general spheres. Example 1.5 (Spheres).
This book is an introduction to manifolds at the beginning graduate level. It contains the essential topological ideas that are needed for the further study of manifolds, particularly in the context of differential geometry, algebraic topology, and related fields. Its guiding philosophy is to develop these ideas rigorously but economically ...
