Topological embedding 2026-10-05
A continuous map injective map that is a homeomorphism onto its image with the subspace topology. A continuous map injective map from a compact space into a Hausdorff space is a topological embedding.
Topological generalized Poincare theorem 2026-10-07
Every closed topological manifold with the homotopy type of is homeomorphic to . This is a classification theorem about homeomorphisms, and does not assert a diffeomorphism between prescribed smooth structures. It is the precise final step needed after proving that a cone link is a simply connected integral homology sphere in the manifold criterion for a suspension.
Triangulation 2026-10-06
A triangulation of a topological space is a homeomorphism from the realization of a simplicial complex to that space. In three-manifold topology, thickening its one-skeleton and the dual one-skeleton constructs a Heegaard splitting.
