Recombination Spaces, Metrics, and Pretopologies
... In a recent paper it was suggested that the topology induced by unequal crossover is incompatible with the existence of a metric that reflects the accessibility relationships among chromosomes with different numbers of gene copies [25]. In this contribution we provide a simple but rigorous proof of ...

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.
