    In mathematics, a manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, an -dimensional manifold, or -manifold for short, is a topological space with the property that each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset of -dimensional Euclidean space.

  2. Apr 17, 2018 · In general an n-dimensional sphere is a manifold of \(n\) dimensions and is given the name \(S^n\). So a circle is a 1-dimensional sphere, a "normal" sphere is a 2-dimensional sphere, and a n-dimensional sphere can be embedded in (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space where each point is equidistant to the origin.

Mrowka. 1 Manifolds: definitions and examplesLoosely manifolds are topological spaces. hat look locally like Euclidean space.A little more precisely it is a space together with a way of identifying it locally with a Euclidean.

  4. An n-dimensional differentiable manifold is a pair (X A) where X is an n-dimensional topological manifold with a com-plete atlas A. One of the simplest examples of a manifold of this type is the unit circle S1. Example 1.20 (The Unit Circle). Let X = S1 = f(x1 x 2) 2 R2 x 2. 2 = 1g and U1 = S1 (0 1) and U2 = S1 (0 1).

  5. A manifold of dimension n or an n-manifold is a manifold such that coordinate charts always use n functions. PROPOSITION 1.1.4. If U ⊂Rm and V ⊂Rn are open sets that are diffeomorphic, then m =n. PROOF. The differential of the diffeomorphism is forced to be a linear isomorphism. This shows that m =n. COROLLARY 1.1.5. A connected manifold is ...

  6. 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 ...

  8. Jun 6, 2020 · Manifold. A geometric object which locally has the structure (topological, smooth, homological, etc.) of $ \mathbf R ^ {n} $ or some other vector space. This fundamental idea in mathematics refines and generalizes, to an arbitrary dimension, the notions of a line and a surface. The introduction of this idea was influenced by various ...
