For questions on manifolds of dimension $n$, a topological space that near each point resembles $n$-dimensional Euclidean space.
In mathematics, a manifold of dimension $n$ is a topological space that near each point resembles $n$-dimensional Euclidean space. More precisely, each point of an $n$-dimensional manifold has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension $n$. Lines and circles, but not figure eights, are one-dimensional manifolds. Two-dimensional manifolds are also called surfaces. Examples include the plane, the sphere, and the torus, which can all be realized in three dimensions, but also the Klein bottle and real projective plane which cannot.
