A manifold is a topological space that is locally Euclidean (i.e., around every point, there is a neighborhood that is topologically the same as the open unit ball in R^n). ...

An invariant set S subset R^n is said to be a C^r (r>=1) invariant manifold if S has the structure of a C^r differentiable manifold (Wiggins 1990, p. 14). When stable and ...

A noncompact manifold without boundary.

An n-manifold which cannot be "nontrivially" decomposed into other n-manifolds.

A compact manifold without boundary.

Another word for a C^infty (infinitely differentiable) manifold, also called a differentiable manifold. A smooth manifold is a topological manifold together with its ...

A manifold is said to be orientable if it can be given an orientation. Note the distinction between an "orientable manifold" and an "oriented manifold," where the former ...

A complex manifold for which the exterior derivative of the fundamental form Omega associated with the given Hermitian metric vanishes, so dOmega=0. In other words, it is a ...

A special case of a flag manifold. A Grassmann manifold is a certain collection of vector subspaces of a vector space. In particular, g_(n,k) is the Grassmann manifold of ...

A smooth manifold with a Poisson bracket defined on its function space.
