Proving that unit quaternions are a 3 Manifold

168 Views Asked by At

I am very new to topology, and I am having trouble on how to prove if something is a manifold or not. The question states that:

Let Q donate the set of unit quaternions (a) Show that Q is a 3-manifold.

In general, I would also like to know how to go about proving if some set is a manifold or not. Thanks!
