The mission of the Manifold Atlas is to empower and engage topologists and geometers to collect and develop information about manifolds, in particular constructions and invariants and problems but also general and historical information.
1 What is a manifold?
We use the term “manifold” broadly to mean any second countable Hausdorff space which is locally Euclidean of a fixed dimension and which may, or may not, be equipped with extra structures. A precise defintion is given on the page defintion of manifold.
2 The editorial board
The content of the Manifold Atlas is reviewed by the editorial board.
3 Other staff
The platform for the Manifold Atlas is MediaWiki: special local features were developed by Daniel Müllner. The project's ongoing administrator is Diarmuid Crowley.
