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 ...
Schultens is the author of the book Introduction to 3-Manifolds (Graduate Studies in Mathematics, 2014). [4] With Martin Scharlemann and Toshio Saito, she is a co-author of Lecture Notes On Generalized Heegaard Splittings (World Scientific, 2016).
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 geometry and topology of three-manifolds is a set of widely circulated notes for a graduate course taught at Princeton University by William Thurston from 1978 to 1980 describing his work on 3-manifolds. They were written by Thurston, assisted by students William Floyd and Steven Kerchoff. [1]

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 ...
