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.
