We require that the family vary smoothly by assuming to be a (smooth) manifold and to be smooth. The statement of the parametric transversality theorem is: Suppose that F : X × S → Y {\displaystyle F\colon X\times S\rightarrow Y} is a smooth map of manifolds, where only X {\displaystyle X} has boundary, and let Z {\displaystyle Z} be any ...
In mathematics, a piecewise linear manifold (PL manifold) is a topological manifold together with a piecewise linear structure on it. Such a structure can be defined by means of an atlas, such that one can pass from chart to chart in it by piecewise linear functions. This is slightly stronger than the topological notion of a triangulation.
Tu is a younger brother of Charles Tu, who is a professor of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) at the University of California, San Diego. [5] [6] He also has another brother, Tu Xiang; all siblings became academics. [7] During his childhood, Tu was largely raised by his grandfather.
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 ...

In mathematics, a tubular neighborhood of a submanifold of a smooth manifold is an open set around it resembling the normal bundle. The idea behind a tubular neighborhood can be explained in a simple example. Consider a smooth curve in the plane without self-intersections. On each point on the curve draw a line perpendicular to the curve ...
The manifold M′, being a boundary component of W, is therefore obtained from M by a p-surgery. Since every bordism between closed manifolds has a Morse function where different critical points have different critical values, this shows that any bordism can be decomposed into traces of surgeries (handlebody decomposition).
The embedded manifold together with the isomorphism class of the normal bundle actually encodes the same information as the cobordism class []. This can be shown [ 2 ] by using a cobordism W {\displaystyle W} and finding an embedding to some R N W + n × [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{N_{W}+n}\times [0,1]} which gives a homotopy class ...
