In mathematics, an Eells–Kuiper manifold is a compactification of by an - sphere, where ''n'' = 2, 4, 8, or 16. It is named after James Eells and Nicolaas Kuiper. If ''n'' = 2, the Eells–Kuiper manifold is diffeomorphic to the real projective plane . For it is simply-connected and has the integral cohomology structure of the complex projective plane (), of the quaternionic projective plane () or of the Cayley projective plane (''n'' = 16). ==Properties== These manifolds are important in both Morse theory and foliation theory: Theorem:〔.〕 ''Let be a connected closed manifold (not necessarily orientable) of dimension . Suppose admits a Morse function of class with exactly three singular points. Then is a Eells–Kuiper manifold.'' Theorem:〔.〕 ''Let be a compact connected manifold and a Morse foliation on . Suppose the number of centers of the foliation is more than the number of saddles . Then there are two possibilities:'' * '', and is homeomorphic to the sphere '', * '', and is an Eells—Kuiper manifold, or .'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eells–Kuiper manifold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
