local and global convexity for maps
... 13. Lemma (Global properties imply convexity). If Ψ : X → Rn is a convex map, then its image, Ψ(X), is convex, and its level sets, Ψ−1 (w), for w ∈ Ψ(X), are connected. Proof. Take any two points in Ψ(X); write them as Ψ(x0 ) and Ψ(x1 ) where x0 and x1 are in X. Because the map Ψ is convex, there ex ...

... PROPOSITION 2.10: For any space X, the following statements are equivalent: (1) X is locally connected. (2) The components of every open subspace of X are open. (3) The connected open sets of X form a basis of the topology of X. Proof: (1) ⇒ (2). Let X be a locally connected space and let U be an o ...

... The purpose of this section is to generalise proposition 2.2 to homology manifolds. Proposition 4.1 If M is a homology manifold then the natural map φ: Hiπ (M ) → Hi (M ) is an isomorphism. The proof is very similar to the proof of 2.2. However the key point in the proof (the application of PL gener ...

3-manifold
In mathematics, a 3-manifold is a space that locally looks like Euclidean 3-dimensional space. Intuitively, a 3-manifold can be thought of as a possible shape of the universe. Just like a sphere looks like a plane to a small enough observer, all 3-manifolds look like our universe does to a small enough observer. This is made more precise in the definition below.
