Proposition 43.6. For any \( k \neq l \) the topological spaces \( {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \) and \( {\mathbb{R}}^{l} \) are not homeomorphic.
Proof. Clearly we only have to deal with the case \( k, l \geq 1 \) . Let \( k, l \in \mathbb{N} \) and suppose there exists a homeomorphism \( f : {\mathbb{R}}^{k} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{l} \) .

Theorem 43.8. (Brouwer \( {}^{689} \) Fixed Point Theorem) Every map \( f : {\bar{B}}^{n} \rightarrow {\bar{B}}^{n} \) admits a fixed point, i.e. for every map \( f : {\bar{B}}^{n} \rightarrow {\bar{B}}^{n} \) there exists a point \( x \in {\bar{B}}^{n} \) such that \( f\left( x\right) = x.
Proof. Suppose there exists a map \( f : {\bar{B}}^{n} \rightarrow {\bar{B}}^{n} \) without a fixed point. Since \( f \) admits no fixed points there exists for each \( x \) precisely one ray which starts at \( f\left( x\right) \) and which goes through \( x \) . We consider the following map which is illustrated in Fi...

The idea of the proof of Proposition 43.24 is the one we already described in the previous section. We want to replace systematically each singular \( n \) -simplex \( \sigma : {\Delta }^{n} \rightarrow X \) by a singular \( n \) -chain of the form \( \mathop{\sum }\limits_{{j = 1}}^{r}{a}_{j} \cdot {\sigma }_{j} \) su...

Lemma 43.27. Let \( X \) be a topological space. The chain maps \[ {u}_{n} : {\mathrm{C}}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{C}}_{n}\left( X\right) \] are chain homotopic to the identity.
Proof \( \left( *\right) \) . Showing that the chain maps \( {\left( {u}_{n}\right) }_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \) are chain homotopic to the identity requires us to find maps \( {P}_{n} : {\mathrm{C}}_{n}\left( X\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{C}}_{n + 1}\left( X\right), n \in {\mathbb{N}}_{0} \) such that for each \( n \in {\m...

For each topological space \( X \) and every \( m \in \mathbb{N} \) the maps \( {\left\{ {u}_{n}^{m}\right\} }_{n \geq 0} \) form a chain map \( {\mathrm{C}}_{ * }\left( X\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{C}}_{ * }\left( X\right) \) that is chain homotopic to the identity.
Recall that in Lemma 43.25 we already saw that the maps \( {\left\{ {u}_{n}\right\} }_{n \geq 0} \) form a chain map \( {\mathrm{C}}_{ * }\left( X\right) \rightarrow {\mathrm{C}}_{ * }\left( X\right) \) . As we remarked on page 1086, the composition of chain maps is again a chain map. Thus for any \( m \in {\mathbb{N}}...

Proposition 44.2. Let \( X \) be an \( n \) -dimensional topological manifold. The following statements hold:\n\n(1) Every point on \( X \) admits either a chart of type (i) or it admits a chart of type (ii).

Proof. The proposition follows easily from making the obvious modifications to the proofs of Lemma 6.28 and Proposition 6.30. The biggest change is that we need to replace Proposition 6.27 by Proposition 44.2. We leave it to the reader to fill in the details.

Proof. By the remark on page 272 it suffices to consider the case that we are given a homeomorphism \( f : M \rightarrow N \) between a non-empty \( m \) -dimensional topological manifold \( M \) and a topological manifold \( N \) . By Proposition 44.2 (5) we know that \( M \smallsetminus \partial M \) is non-empty. In...

We use the inclusion \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \rightarrow {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \cup \{ \infty \} = {S}^{2} \) to view \( {\mathbb{R}}^{2} \) as a subset of \( {S}^{2} \) .

Proof. Let \( C \) be a path-component of the subset subset \( U \subset {\mathbb{R}}^{n} \). Let \( P \in C \). Since \( U \) is open there exists an \( r > 0 \) such that \( {B}_{r}\left( P\right) \subset U \).
