Topological Surgery Theory

In my previous blogs " TOPOLOGY - KING OF MATHEMATICS " & " Topological Space " we came across Topology's beauty and discussed its properties. Now we flash on "Topological Surgery Theory" - a technique used to do surgery (cut - operation - join) on manifolds. To remind you in simple words manifold refers to any object , formally saying" A manifold of dimension n is a Topological space M which is locally homeomorphic to n-dimensional Euclidean space, Hausdroff and has a countable basis. In topology, surgery theory is a procedure to transform one manifold into another manifold in a controlled way. There are different kinds of surgery on a manifold. The formal way is to identify an embedded structure X on the manifold M that we want to cut, then the embedding φ : X → M To exclude it, do the cutting operation M \ (int(φ(X))) where int is the interior of a set. For gluing back (if, ∂X ...
