We show as a main message that there is a simple dimension-preserving way to openly and densely embed every topological manifold into a compact ``nonstandard'' topological manifold with boundary.This class of ``nonstandard'' topological manifolds with boundary contains the usual topological manifolds with boundary.In particular,the Alexandroff one-point compactification of every given topological $n$-manifold is a ``nonstandard'' topological $n$-manifold with boundary.

AbstractWe study a semilinear elliptic problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary, subject to an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Under various hypotheses on the nonlinear terms, depending on their behaviour in the origin and infinity, we prove multiplicity of solutions by using variational arguments.

In R. L. Wilder's book [2] the open and closed generalized manifolds are extensively studied. However, no study is made of the generalized manifold with boundary nor is a definition of such a space given except in the case of the generalized closed n-cell. A definition of a generalized manifold with boundary was given by the author in his paper [1]. Before undertaking the study of further properties of these manifolds it seems appropriate to characterize the manifolds with boundary in terms of the open and closed manifolds of Wilder. It is to that purpose that this paper is directed and in particular the generalized closed n-cell of Wilder is characterized as a special manifold with boundary.

Let φ: M → N be a submersion from a metrizable manifold to any (topological) manifold, let B ⊂ M be compact, y є N and C ⊂ φ−1(y) be a compact neighbourhood (in φ−1(y)) of B ∩ φ−1(y). It is proven that there is a neighbourhood U of y in N and an embedding ε: U × C → M such that φε is projection on the first factor, ε(y, x) = x for each x ε C, and B ∩ φ−1 (U) ⊂ ε(U×C). The main application given is to topological foliations, it being shown that if C is a compact regular leaf of a foliation F on M then every neighbourhood of C contains a saturated neighbourhood which is the union of compact regular leaves of F.

Summary Let us recall that a topological space M is a topological manifold if M is second-countable Hausdorff and locally Euclidean, i.e. each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open ball of E n for some n. However, if we would like to consider a topological manifold with a boundary, we have to extend this definition. Therefore, we introduce here the concept of a locally Euclidean space that covers both cases (with and without a boundary), i.e. where each point has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to a closed ball of En for some n. Our purpose is to prove, using the Mizar formalism, a number of properties of such locally Euclidean spaces and use them to demonstrate basic properties of a manifold. Let T be a locally Euclidean space. We prove that every interior point of T has a neighborhood homeomorphic to an open ball and that every boundary point of T has a neighborhood homeomorphic to a closed ball, where additionally this point is transformed into a point of the boundary of this ball. When T is n-dimensional, i.e. each point of T has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to a closed ball of En, we show that the interior of T is a locally Euclidean space without boundary of dimension n and the boundary of T is a locally Euclidean space without boundary of dimension n − 1. Additionally, we show that every connected component of a compact locally Euclidean space is a locally Euclidean space of some dimension. We prove also that the Cartesian product of locally Euclidean spaces also forms a locally Euclidean space. We determine the interior and boundary of this product and show that its dimension is the sum of the dimensions of its factors. At the end, we present several consequences of these results for topological manifolds. This article is based on [14].

AbstractWe develop index theory on compact Riemannian spin manifolds with boundary in the case when the topological information is encoded by bundles which are supported away from the boundary. As a first application, we establish a “long neck principle” for a compact Riemannian spin n-manifold with boundary X, stating that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)\ge n(n-1)$$ scal ( X ) ≥ n ( n - 1 ) and there is a nonzero degree map into the sphere $$f:X\rightarrow S^n$$ f : X → S n which is strictly area decreasing, then the distance between the support of $$\text {d}f$$ d f and the boundary of X is at most $$\pi /n$$ π / n . This answers, in the spin setting and for strictly area decreasing maps, a question recently asked by Gromov. As a second application, we consider a Riemannian manifold X obtained by removing k pairwise disjoint embedded n-balls from a closed spin n-manifold Y. We show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(X)>\sigma >0$$ scal ( X ) > σ > 0 and Y satisfies a certain condition expressed in terms of higher index theory, then the radius of a geodesic collar neighborhood of $$\partial X$$ ∂ X is at most $$\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . Finally, we consider the case of a Riemannian n-manifold V diffeomorphic to $$N\times [-1,1]$$ N × [ - 1 , 1 ] , with N a closed spin manifold with nonvanishing Rosenebrg index. In this case, we show that if $${{\,\mathrm{scal}\,}}(V)\ge \sigma >0$$ scal ( V ) ≥ σ > 0 , then the distance between the boundary components of V is at most $$2\pi \sqrt{(n-1)/(n\sigma )}$$ 2 π ( n - 1 ) / ( n σ ) . This last constant is sharp by an argument due to Gromov.

AbstractThis paper is a contribution to the classification problem of expansive homeomorphisms. Let M be a compact connected oriented three dimensional topological manifold without boundary and f: M → M an expansive homeomorphism.We show that if the topologically hyperbolic period points of f are dense in M then M = , and f is conjugate to an Anosov diffeomorphism. This follows from our basic result: for such a homeomorphism, all stable and unstable sets are (tamely embedded) topological manifolds.

We use a Betti number estimate of Freedman-Hain-Teichner to show that the maximal torsion-free nilpotent quotient of the fundamental group of a 3-manifold with boundary is either Z or Z ⊕ Z. In particular we reobtain the Evans-Moser classification of 3-manifolds with boundary which have nilpotent fundamental groups.

This chapter illustrates integration of equivariant forms. An equivariant differential form is an element of the Cartan model. For a circle action on a manifold M, it is a polynomial in u with coefficients that are invariant forms on M. Such a form can be integrated by integrating the coefficients. This can be called equivariant integration. The chapter shows that under equivariant integration, Stokes's theorem still holds. Everything done so far in this book concerning a Lie group action on a manifold can be generalized to a manifold with boundary. An important fact concerning manifolds with boundary is that a diffeomorphism of a manifold with boundary takes interior points to interior points and boundary points to boundary points.

Given a handle decomposition of a 4-manifold with boundary and an open book decomposition of the boundary, we show how to produce a trisection diagram of a trisection of the 4-manifold inducing the given open book. We do this by making the original proof of the existence of relative trisections more explicit in terms of handles. Furthermore, we extend this existence result to the case of 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components and show how trisected 4-manifolds with multiple boundary components glue together.
