[edit] Merging with topological manifold

I disagree with the merger. This article needs an expansion instead.

Besides, the article topological manifold is in a sorry state. Please ask again after it is improved. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:45, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

And besides, I see no harm in putting some of this material at topological manifold while still keeping this separate and with more detail. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Definition wrong

In my opinion, a closed manifold is a manifold with each connected component compact, i.e. it is not open. Otherwise one would call it compact, there would be no need to introduce a new expression. Hottiger 10:57, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
