Topological manifolds are much more useful often more tractable when given some additional structure. Much of the study of topological manifolds is, therefore, devoted to understanding conditions under which such structures exist and are unique.
To study Euclidean geometry one does not really need to know the location of the origin in Rn, any point is just as good as any other. This leads to a construction in mathematics known the affine space underlying any given vector space.
A closed cell is a topological space homeomorphic to a ball (a sphere plus interior), or equally to a simplex, or a cube in n dimensions. Only the topological nature matters: but one does want to keep track of the subspace on the 'surface' (the sphere that bounds the ball), and its complement, the interior points. An open cell is the interior of a closed cell.
CW complexes are defined inductively by gluing together cells of successively higher dimensions. The complex constructed at the nth stage is called the n-skeleton. One proceeds as follows:
The unit pseudoscalar in Cℓp,q(R) is given by
The norm of ω is given by
and the square is
There are 14 groups (5 abelian) of order 16.
