	Differentiable manifold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A differentiable manifold is a special kind of topological manifold, in which we know what it means for a function to be differentiable.
		An alternate definition of a differentiable manifold is a topological space with a sheaf of functions, which is locally isomorphic to Euclidean space with the sheaf of differentiable functions.
		A pseudo-Riemannian manifold is a variant of Riemannian manifold where the metric tensor is allowed to have an indefinite signature (as opposed to a positive-definite one).

	Differential geometry and topology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Initially and up to the middle of the nineteenth century, differential geometry was studied from the extrinsic point of view: curves, surfaces were considered as lying in a Euclidean space of higher dimension (for example a surface in an ambient space of three dimensions).
		A vector field is a function from a manifold to the disjoint union of its tangent spaces (this union is itself a manifold known as the tangent bundle), such that at each point, the value is an element of the tangent space at that point.
		A symplectic manifold is a differentiable manifold equipped with a symplectic form (that is, a closed non-degenerate 2-form).

		A vector field is a function from a manifold to the disjoint union of its tangent spaces, such that at each point, the value is a member of the tangent space at that point.
		The manifolds are equipped with a metric, which introduces geometry because it allows to measure distances and angles locally and define concepts such as geodesics, curvature and torsion.
		A symplectic manifold is a differentiable manifold equipped with a closed 2-form (that is, a closed non-degenerate bi-linear alternating form).

	Encyclopedia: Differential geometry
		A differential manifold is a topological space with a collection of homeomorphisms from open sets to the open unit ball in R
		We say a function from the manifold to R is infinitely differentiable if its composition with every homemorphism results in an infinitely differentiable function from the open unit ball to R.
		Initially and up to the middle of the nineteenth century, differential geometry was studied from the extrinsic point of view: curves, surfaces and other objects were considered as lying in a space of higher dimension (for example a surface in an ambient space of three dimensions).

	PlanetMath: differential operator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Roughly speaking, a differential operator is a mapping, typically understood to be linear, that transforms a function into another function by means of partial derivatives and multiplication by other functions.
		The notion of a differential operator can be generalized even further by allowing the operator to act on sections of a bundle.

	Flows and Maps
		A geometric formulation of the theory of differential equations says that a differential equation is a vector field on a manifold .
		Manifolds are useful geometric objects because the smoothness condition ensures that a local coordinate system can be erected at each and every point on the manifold.
		A solution to a differential equation is called a trajectory or an integral curve ;, since it results from ``integrating'' the differential equations of motion.

		The scope of Noncommutative Geometry is very broad, it stretches from the "classical" differential geometry and topology, group theory, foliations, through theory of C*-algebras, K- and KK-theory, Hopf algebras (and quantum groups) to cyclic (co)homology and index theory.
		Differential calculi can be constructed for all algebras, so one can study "differential geometry" of lattices or fractals, for instance.
		The Christoffel symbols (connection) appears as a result of postulated covariance under the diffeomorphism transformations on the manifold (which in physics is often referred to as a change of coordinates).

		This talk will discuss a combinatorial model for differential manifolds and vector bundles, due to Gelfand and MacPherson, which leads to an intriguing interplay between topology and combinatorics.
		A combinatorial differential manifold is essentially a simplicial complex together with a combinatorial model for a differential structure.
		While this model is inspired by real manifolds and vector bundles, in fact it extends further: various combinatorial objects with no obvious relation to topology have natural "combinatorial vector bundle" structures.

	Manifold Theory: (W)holes and Boundaries
		In 1982, when Irigaray's essay first appeared, this was an incisive criticism: differential topology has traditionally privileged the study of what are known technically as ``manifolds without boundary''.
		Perhaps not coincidentally, it is precisely these manifolds that arise in the new physics of conformal field theory, superstring theory and quantum gravity.
		In quantum gravity, we may expect that a similar representation will hold, except that the two-dimensional manifold with boundary will be replaced by a multidimensional one.
