Timeline of manifolds

From HandWiki - Reading time: 15 min
Short description: Mathematics timeline

This is a timeline of manifolds, one of the major geometric concepts of mathematics. For further background see history of manifolds and varieties.

Background

Manifolds in contemporary mathematics come in a number of types. These include:

There are also related classes, such as homology manifolds and orbifolds, that resemble manifolds. It took a generation for clarity to emerge, after the initial work of Henri Poincaré, on the fundamental definitions; and a further generation to discriminate more exactly between the three major classes. Low-dimensional topology (i.e., dimensions 3 and 4, in practice) turned out to be more resistant than the higher dimension, in clearing up Poincaré's legacy. Further developments brought in fresh geometric ideas, concepts from quantum field theory, and heavy use of category theory.

Participants in the first phase of axiomatization were influenced by David Hilbert: with Hilbert's axioms as exemplary, by Hilbert's third problem as solved by Dehn, one of the actors, by Hilbert's fifteenth problem from the needs of 19th century geometry.[clarification needed] The subject matter of manifolds is a strand common to algebraic topology, differential topology and geometric topology.

18th century Leonhard Euler Euler's theorem on polyhedra "triangulating" the 2-sphere. The subdivision of a convex polygon with n sides into n triangles, by means of any internal point, adds n edges, one vertex and n - 1 faces, preserving the result. So the case of triangulations proper implies the general result.
1820–3 János Bolyai Develops non-Euclidean geometry, in particular the hyperbolic plane.
c.1825 Joseph Diez Gergonne, Jean-Victor Poncelet Geometric properties of the complex projective plane.[1]
1840 Hermann Grassmann General n-dimensional linear spaces.
1848 Carl Friedrich Gauss
Pierre Ossian Bonnet		 Gauss–Bonnet theorem for the differential geometry of closed surfaces.
1851 Bernhard Riemann Introduction of the Riemann surface into the theory of analytic continuation.[2] Riemann surfaces are complex manifolds of dimension 1, in this setting presented as ramified covering spaces of the Riemann sphere (the complex projective line).
1854 Bernhard Riemann Riemannian metrics give an idea of intrinsic geometry of manifolds of any dimension.
1861 Folklore result since c.1850 First conventional publication of the Kelvin–Stokes theorem, in three dimensions, relating integrals over a volume to those on its boundary.
1872 Felix Klein Klein's Erlangen program puts an emphasis on the homogeneous spaces for the classical groups, as a class of manifolds foundational for geometry.
from 1890s Élie Cartan Formulation of Hamiltonian mechanics in terms of the cotangent bundle of a manifold, the configuration space.[3]
1894 Henri Poincaré Fundamental group of a topological space. The Poincaré conjecture can now be formulated.
1895 Henri Poincaré Simplicial homology.

1900 David Hilbert Hilbert's fifth problem posed the question of characterising Lie groups among transformation groups, an issue partially resolved in the 1950s. Hilbert's fifteenth problem required a rigorous approach to the Schubert calculus, a branch of intersection theory taking place on the complex Grassmannian manifolds.
1902 David Hilbert Tentative axiomatisation (topological spaces are not yet defined) of two-dimensional manifolds.[4]
1905 Max Dehn As a conjecture, the Dehn-Somerville equations relating numerically triangulated manifolds and simplicial polytopes.[5]
1907 Henri Poincaré, Paul Koebe The uniformization theorem for simply connected Riemann surfaces.
1908 Heinrich Franz Friedrich Tietze Habilitationschrift for the University of Vienna, proposes another tentative definition, by combinatorial means, of "topological manifold".[6][7][8]
1908 Ernst Steinitz, Tietze The Hauptvermutung, a conjecture on the existence of a common refinement of two triangulations. This was an open problem, for manifolds, to 1961.
1910 L. E. J. Brouwer Brouwer's theorem on invariance of domain has the corollary that a connected, non-empty manifold has a definite dimension. This result had been an open problem for three decades.[9] In the same year Brouwer gives the first example of a topological group that is not a Lie group.[10]
1913 Hermann Weyl Die Idee der Riemannschen Fläche gives a model definition of the idea of manifold, in the one-dimensional complex case.

1923 Hermann Künneth Künneth formula for homology of product of spaces.
1926 Hellmuth Kneser Defines "topological manifold" as a second countable Hausdorff space, with points having neighbourhoods homeomorphic to open balls; and "combinatorial manifold" in an inductive fashion depending on a cell complex definition and the Hauptvermutung.[11]
1926 Élie Cartan Classification of symmetric spaces, a class of homogeneous spaces.
1926 Tibor Radó Two-dimensional topological manifolds have triangulations.[12]
1926 Heinz Hopf Poincaré–Hopf theorem, the sum of the indexes of a vector field with isolated zeroes on a compact differential manifold M is equal to the Euler characteristic of M.
1926−7 Otto Schreier Definitions of topological group and of "continuous group" (traditional term, ultimately Lie group) as a locally Euclidean topological group. He also introduces the universal cover in this context.[13]
1928 Leopold Vietoris Definition of h-manifold, by combinatorial means, by proof analysis applied to Poincaré duality.[14]
1929 Egbert van Kampen In his dissertation, by means of star-complexes for simplicial complexes, recovers Poincaré duality in a combinatorial setting.[14]
1930 Bartel Leendert van der Waerden Pursuing the goal of foundations for the Schubert calculus in enumerative geometry, he examined the Poincaré-Lefschetz intersection theory for its version of intersection number, in a 1930 paper (given the triangulability of algebraic varieties).[15] In the same year, he published a note Kombinatorische Topologie on a talk for the Deutsche Mathematiker-Vereinigung, in which he surveyed definitions for "topological manifold" so far given, by eight authors.[16]
c.1930 Emmy Noether Module theory and general chain complexes are developed by Noether and her students, and algebraic topology begins as an axiomatic approach grounded in abstract algebra.
1931 Georges de Rham De Rham's theorem: for a compact differential manifold, the chain complex of differential forms computes the real (co)homology groups.[17]
1931 Heinz Hopf Introduces the Hopf fibration, [math]\displaystyle{ S^1\to S^3\to S^2 }[/math].
1931–2 Oswald Veblen, J. H. C. Whitehead Whitehead's 1931 thesis, The Representation of Projective Spaces, written with Veblen as advisor, gives an intrinsic and axiomatic view of manifolds as Hausdorff spaces subject to certain axioms. It was followed by the joint book Foundations of Differential Geometry (1932). The "chart" concept of Poincaré, a local coordinate system, is organised into the atlas; in this setting, regularity conditions may be applied to the transition functions.[18][19][4] This foundational point of view allows for a pseudogroup restriction on the transition functions, for example to introduce piecewise linear structures.[20]
1932 Eduard Čech Čech cohomology.
1933 Solomon Lefschetz Singular homology of topological spaces.
1935 Hassler Whitney Proof of the embedding theorem, stating that a smooth manifold of dimension n may be embedded in Euclidean space of dimension 2n.[21]

1942 Lev Pontryagin Publishing in full in 1947, Pontryagin founded a new theory of cobordism with the result that a closed manifold that is a boundary has vanishing Stiefel-Whitney numbers. From Stokes's theorem cobordism classes of submanifolds are invariant for the integration of closed differential forms; the introduction of algebraic invariants gave the opening for computing with the equivalence relation as something intrinsic.[22]
1943 Werner Gysin Gysin sequence and Gysin homomorphism.
1943 Norman Steenrod Homology with local coefficients.
1944 Samuel Eilenberg "Modern" definition of singular homology and singular cohomology.
1945 Beno Eckmann Defines the cohomology ring building on Heinz Hopf's work. In the case of manifolds, there are multiple interpretations of the ring product, including wedge product of differential forms, and cup product representing intersecting cycles.

1945 to 1960

Terminology: By this period manifolds are generally assumed to be those of Veblen-Whitehead, so locally Euclidean Hausdorff spaces, but the application of countability axioms was also becoming standard. Veblen-Whitehead did not assume, as Kneser earlier had, that manifolds are second countable.[23] The term "separable manifold", to distinguish second countable manifolds, survived into the late 1950s.[24]

1950 Samuel Eilenberg–Joseph A. Zilber (de) Simplicial sets as a purely algebraic model of well behaved topological spaces.
1950 Charles Ehresmann Ehresmann's fibration theorem states that a smooth, proper, surjective submersion between smooth manifolds is a locally trivial fibration.
1951 Henri Cartan Definition of sheaf theory, with a sheaf defined using open subsets (rather than closed subsets) of a topological space. Sheaves connect local and global properties of topological spaces.
1952 René Thom The Thom isomorphism brings cobordism of manifolds into the ambit of homotopy theory.
1952 Edwin E. Moise Moise's theorem established that a 3-dimension compact connected topological manifold is a PL manifold (earlier terminology "combinatorial manifold"), having a unique PL structure. In particular it is triangulable.[27] This result is now known to extend no further into higher dimensions.
1956 John Milnor The first exotic spheres were constructed by Milnor in dimension 7, as [math]\displaystyle{ S^3 }[/math]-bundles over [math]\displaystyle{ S^4 }[/math]. He showed that there are at least 7 differentiable structures on the 7-sphere.

1962 Stephen Smale Proof of the h-cobordism theorem in dimensions greater than four, based on the Whitney trick.
1963 Michel Kervaire–John Milnor The classification of exotic spheres: the monoid of smooth structures on the n-sphere is the collection of oriented smooth n-manifolds which are homeomorphic to [math]\displaystyle{ S^n }[/math], taken up to orientation-preserving diffeomorphism, with connected sum as the monoid operation. For [math]\displaystyle{ n\ne 4 }[/math], this monoid is a group, and is isomorphic to the group [math]\displaystyle{ \Theta_n }[/math] of h-cobordism classes of oriented homotopy n-spheres, which is finite and abelian.
1965 Dennis Barden Completes the classification of simply connected, compact 5-manifolds, started by Smale in 1962.
1967 Friedhelm Waldhausen Defines and classifies 3-dimensional graph manifolds.
1969 Laurent C. Siebenmann Example of two homeomorphic PL manifolds that are not piecewise-linearly homeomorphic.[28]

The maximal atlas approach to structures on manifolds had clarified the Hauptvermutung for a topological manifold M, as a trichotomy. M might have no triangulation, hence no piecewise-linear maximal atlas; it might have a unique PL structure; or it might have more than one maximal atlas, and so more than one PL structure. The status of the conjecture, that the second option was always the case, became clarified at this point in the form that each of the three cases might apply, depending on M.

The "combinatorial triangulation conjecture" stated that the first case could not occur, for M compact.[29] The Kirby–Siebenmann result disposed of the conjecture. Siebenmann's example showed the third case is also possible.
