The due dates were originally written assuming we were collecting homework on Fridays. Starting November 5, however, homework is due on Mondays.
Homework # 1: (due September 7)
Show that each of the following sets (given a reasonable
topology) is a manifold. What is the dimension of each one?
Which are orientable?
1) The set of all lines through the origin in R^4.
(This manifold is called RP^3).
2) The set of all lines through the origin in R^5
(called RP^4)
3) The set of all planes through the origin in R^4.
4) The set of all lines (not necessarily through
the origin) in R^3.
4) The set of all complex triples (z1, z2, z3) such
that z1^2 + z2^2 +z3^2 = 1.
5) The set of all invertible 2x2 real matrices.
