The usual formalization of that Concept is well known, we take charts to ’map out’ the Manifold, in this paper, for sake of Convenience we will take a slightly different approach to formalize the Concept of ’locally euclidean’, to formulate it, we need some tools, let us introduce them now: Definition 1.1. Pseudogroups A pseudogroup on a topological space X is a set G of homeomorphisms between open sets of X satisfying the following conditions: • The Domains of the elements g 2 G cover X • The restriction of an element g 2 G to any open set contained in its Domain is also in G. • The Composition g1 ◦ g2 of two elements of G, when defined, is in G • The inverse of an Element of G is in G. • The property of being in G is local, that is, if g : U !

  • Spheres in Infinite-Dimensional Normed Spaces Are Lipschitz Contractible
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 88. Number 3, July 1983 SPHERES IN INFINITE-DIMENSIONAL NORMED SPACES ARE LIPSCHITZ CONTRACTIBLE Y. BENYAMINI1 AND Y. STERNFELD Abstract. Let X be an infinite-dimensional normed space. We prove the following: (i) The unit sphere {x G X: || x II = 1} is Lipschitz contractible. (ii) There is a Lipschitz retraction from the unit ball of JConto the unit sphere. (iii) There is a Lipschitz map T of the unit ball into itself without an approximate fixed point, i.e. inffjjc - Tx\\: \\x\\ « 1} > 0. Introduction. Let A be a normed space, and let Bx — {jc G X: \\x\\ < 1} and Sx = {jc G X: || jc || = 1} be its unit ball and unit sphere, respectively. Brouwer's fixed point theorem states that when X is finite dimensional, every continuous self-map of Bx admits a fixed point. Two equivalent formulations of this theorem are the following. 1. There is no continuous retraction from Bx onto Sx. 2. Sx is not contractible, i.e., the identity map on Sx is not homotopic to a constant map. It is well known that none of these three theorems hold in infinite-dimensional spaces (see e.g. [1]). The natural generalization to infinite-dimensional spaces, however, would seem to require the maps to be uniformly-continuous and not merely continuous. Indeed in the finite-dimensional case this condition is automatically satisfied. In this article we show that the above three theorems fail, in the infinite-dimen- sional case, even under the strongest uniform-continuity condition, namely, for maps satisfying a Lipschitz condition.

  • Examples of Manifolds
    Examples of Manifolds Example 1 (Open Subset of IRn) Any open subset, O, of IRn is a manifold of dimension n. One possible atlas is A = (O, ϕid) , where ϕid is the identity map. That is, ϕid(x) = x. n Of course one possible choice of O is IR itself. Example 2 (The Circle) The circle S1 = (x,y) ∈ IR2 x2 + y2 = 1 is a manifold of dimension one.

  • Affine Connections and Second-Order Affine Structures
    Affine connections and second-order affine structures Filip Bár Dedicated to my good friend Tom Rewwer on the occasion of his 35th birthday. Abstract Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural struc- ture of an infinitesimally affine space. This structure is comprised of two pieces of data: a sequence of symmetric and reflexive relations defining the tuples of mu- tual infinitesimally close points, called an infinitesimal structure, and an action of affine combinations on these tuples. For smooth manifolds the only natural infin- itesimal structure that has been considered so far is the one generated by the first neighbourhood of the diagonal. In this paper we construct natural infinitesimal structures for higher-order neighbourhoods of the diagonal and show that on any manifold any symmetric affine connection extends to a second-order infinitesimally affine structure. Introduction A deeply rooted intuition about smooth manifolds is that of spaces that become linear spaces in the infinitesimal neighbourhood of each point. On the infinitesimal scale the geometry underlying a manifold is thus affine geometry. To make this intuition precise requires a good theory of infinitesimals as well as defining precisely what it means for two points on a manifold to be infinitesimally close. As regards infinitesimals we make use of Synthetic Differential Geometry (SDG) and adopt the neighbourhoods of the diagonal from Algebraic Geometry to define when two points are infinitesimally close. The key observations on how to proceed have been made by Kock in [8]: 1) The first neighbourhood arXiv:1809.05944v2 [math.DG] 29 Aug 2020 of the diagonal exists on formal manifolds and can be understood as a symmetric, reflexive relation on points, saying when two points are infinitesimal neighbours, and 2) we can form affine combinations of points that are mutual neighbours.

  • EXOTIC SPHERES and CURVATURE 1. Introduction Exotic
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 45, Number 4, October 2008, Pages 595–616 S 0273-0979(08)01213-5 Article electronically published on July 1, 2008 EXOTIC SPHERES AND CURVATURE M. JOACHIM AND D. J. WRAITH Abstract. Since their discovery by Milnor in 1956, exotic spheres have pro- vided a fascinating object of study for geometers. In this article we survey what is known about the curvature of exotic spheres. 1. Introduction Exotic spheres are manifolds which are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic to a standard sphere. In this introduction our aims are twofold: First, to give a brief account of the discovery of exotic spheres and to make some general remarks about the structure of these objects as smooth manifolds. Second, to outline the basics of curvature for Riemannian manifolds which we will need later on. In subsequent sections, we will explore the interaction between topology and geometry for exotic spheres. We will use the term differentiable to mean differentiable of class C∞,and all diffeomorphisms will be assumed to be smooth. As every graduate student knows, a smooth manifold is a topological manifold that is equipped with a smooth (differentiable) structure, that is, a smooth maximal atlas. Recall that an atlas is a collection of charts (homeomorphisms from open neighbourhoods in the manifold onto open subsets of some Euclidean space), the domains of which cover the manifold. Where the chart domains overlap, we impose a smooth compatibility condition for the charts [doC, chapter 0] if we wish our manifold to be smooth. Such an atlas can then be extended to a maximal smooth atlas by including all possible charts which satisfy the compatibility condition with the original maps.

  • I-Sequential Topological Spaces∗

This new space is a strictly weaker notion than the first countable space. Also I-sequential topological space is a quotient of a metric space. 1 Introduction The idea of convergence of real sequence have been extended to statistical convergence by [2, 14, 15] as follows: If N denotes the set of natural numbers and K N then Kn denotes the set k K : k n and Kn stands for the cardinality of the set Kn. The natural densityf of the2 subset≤ Kg is definedj j by Kn d(K) = lim j j, n n !1 provided the limit exists. A sequence xn n N of points in a metric space (X, ) is said to be statistically f g 2 convergent to l if for arbitrary " > 0, the set K(") = k N : (xk, l) " has natural density zero. A lot of investigation has been donef on2 this convergence≥ andg its topological consequences after initial works by [5, 13]. It is easy to check that the family Id = A N : d(A) = 0 forms a non-trivial f g admissible ideal of N (recall that I 2N is called an ideal if (i) A, B I implies A B I and (ii) A I,B A implies B I.

  • Minkowski Products of Unit Quaternion Sets 1 Introduction
    Minkowski products of unit quaternion sets 1 Introduction The Minkowski sum A⊕B of two point sets A; B 2 Rn is the set of all points generated [16] by the vector sums of points chosen independently from those sets, i.e., A ⊕ B := f a + b : a 2 A and b 2 B g : (1) The Minkowski sum has applications in computer graphics, geometric design, image processing, and related fields [9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20]. The validity of the definition (1) in Rn for all n ≥ 1 stems from the straightforward extension of the vector sum a + b to higher{dimensional Euclidean spaces. However, to define a Minkowski product set A ⊗ B := f a b : a 2 A and b 2 B g ; (2) it is necessary to specify products of points in Rn. In the case n = 1, this is simply the real{number product | the resulting algebra of point sets in R1 is called interval arithmetic [17, 18] and is used to monitor the propagation of uncertainty through computations in which the initial operands (and possibly also the arithmetic operations) are not precisely determined. A natural realization of the Minkowski product (2) in R2 may be achieved [7] by interpreting the points a and b as complex numbers, with a b being the usual complex{number product. Algorithms to compute Minkowski products of complex{number sets have been formulated [6], and extended to determine Minkowski roots and powers [3, 8] of complex sets; to evaluate polynomials specified by complex{set coefficients and arguments [4]; and to solve simple equations expressed in terms of complex{set coefficients and unknowns [5].

  • Daniel Irvine June 20, 2014 Lecture 6: Topological Manifolds 1. Local
    Daniel Irvine June 20, 2014 Lecture 6: Topological Manifolds 1. Local Topological Properties Exercise 7 of the problem set asked you to understand the notion of path compo- nents. We assume that knowledge here. We have done a little work in understanding the notions of connectedness, path connectedness, and compactness. It turns out that even if a space doesn't have these properties globally, they might still hold locally. Definition. A space X is locally path connected at x if for every neighborhood U of x, there is a path connected neighborhood V of x contained in U. If X is locally path connected at all of its points, then it is said to be locally path connected. Lemma 1.1. A space X is locally path connected if and only if for every open set V of X, each path component of V is open in X. Proof. Suppose that X is locally path connected. Let V be an open set in X; let C be a path component of V . If x is a point of V , we can (by definition) choose a path connected neighborhood W of x such that W ⊂ V . Since W is path connected, it must lie entirely within the path component C. Therefore C is open. Conversely, suppose that the path components of open sets of X are themselves open. Given a point x of X and a neighborhood V of x, let C be the path component of V containing x. Now C is path connected, and since it is open in X by hypothesis, we now have that X is locally path connected at x.

  • Lecture Notes on Foliation Theory
    INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY BOMBAY Department of Mathematics Seminar Lectures on Foliation Theory 1 : FALL 2008 Lecture 1 Basic requirements for this Seminar Series: Familiarity with the notion of differential manifold, submersion, vector bundles. 1 Some Examples Let us begin with some examples: m d m−d (1) Write R = R × R . As we know this is one of the several cartesian product m decomposition of R . Via the second projection, this can also be thought of as a ‘trivial m−d vector bundle’ of rank d over R . This also gives the trivial example of a codim. d- n d foliation of R , as a decomposition into d-dimensional leaves R × {y} as y varies over m−d R . (2) A little more generally, we may consider any two manifolds M, N and a submersion f : M → N. Here M can be written as a disjoint union of fibres of f each one is a submanifold of dimension equal to dim M − dim N = d. We say f is a submersion of M of codimension d. The manifold structure for the fibres comes from an atlas for M via the surjective form of implicit function theorem since dfp : TpM → Tf(p)N is surjective at every point of M. We would like to consider this description also as a codim d foliation. However, this is also too simple minded one and hence we would call them simple foliations. If the fibres of the submersion are connected as well, then we call it strictly simple. (3) Kronecker Foliation of a Torus Let us now consider something non trivial.
