Familiar examples of two-dimensional manifolds include the sphere, torus, and Klein bottle; this book concentrates on three-dimensional manifolds, and on two-dimensional surfaces within them. A particular focus is a Heegaard splitting, a two-dimensional surface that partitions a 3-manifold into two handlebodies. It aims to present the main ...
The boundary of a manifold is a manifold , which has dimension . An orientation on M {\displaystyle M} induces an orientation on ∂ M {\displaystyle \partial M} . We usually denote a submanifold by Σ ⊂ M {\displaystyle \Sigma \subset M} .
Calculus on Manifolds is a brief monograph on the theory of vector-valued functions of several real variables (f : R n →R m) and differentiable manifolds in Euclidean space. . In addition to extending the concepts of differentiation (including the inverse and implicit function theorems) and Riemann integration (including Fubini's theorem) to functions of several variables, the book treats ...

The exterior derivative is natural in the technical sense: if f : M → N is a smooth map and Ω k is the contravariant smooth functor that assigns to each manifold the space of k-forms on the manifold, then the following diagram commutes so d( f ∗ ω) = f ∗ dω, where f ∗ denotes the pullback of f .
For any manifold the properties of being second-countable, Lindelöf, and σ-compact are all equivalent. Every second-countable manifold is paracompact, but not vice versa. However, the converse is nearly true: a paracompact manifold is second-countable if and only if it has a countable number of connected components. In particular, a connected ...
The objects of Man • p are pairs (,), where is a manifold along with a basepoint , and its morphisms are basepoint-preserving p-times continuously differentiable maps: e.g. : (,) (,), such that () =. [1] The category of pointed manifolds is an example of a comma category - Man • p is exactly ({}), where {} represents an arbitrary singleton ...
