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.
2 Scientific goals
The pages of the Manifold Atlas are refereed by the editorial board. Approved versions of pages will serve as scientifically quotable references.
3 Platform
The platform for the Manifold Atlas is MediaWiki: special local features were developed by Daniel Müllner.
4 Other Staff
The present administrator of the Manifold Atlas are Diarmuid Crowley and Daniel Müllner.
