Revision as of 13:06, 17 September 2009
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 be preserved as scientifically quotable references.
3 Writing in the Manifold Atlas
The Manifold Atlas supports pages written by a single author or groups of authors and also pages which can be edited openly by any registered user.
4 Platform
The platform for the Manifold Atlas is MediaWiki: special local features were developed by Daniel Müllner.
5 Staff
The chief editor of the Manifold Atlas is Matthias Kreck. The current administrators of the Manifold Atlas are Diarmuid Crowley and Daniel Müllner.
