Viewing invariance of domain as a converse of invariance of dimension

108 Views Asked by At

My book is An Introduction to Manifolds by Loring W. Tu.

Corollary 8.7 is (smooth) invariance of dimension, and Theorem 22.3 is smooth invariance of domain.

I view these as converses and think of combining these two together to say

  • Let $U$ be an open subset of $\mathbb R^n$. Let $S$ be a subset of $\mathbb R^m$. Let $U$ be diffeomorphic to $S$. Then $m=n$ if and only if $S$ is open in $\mathbb R^m$. $\tag{1}$

By generalizing Corollary 8.7 based on Corollary 8.6 to get

  • Let $U$ be an open subset of a smooth $n$-manifold $N$. Let $S$ be a subset of a smooth $m$-manifold $M$. Let $U$ be diffeomorphic to $S$. Then $m=n$ if $S$ is open in $M$. $\tag{2}$

I think I can generalize $(1)$ based on Remark 22.5 to get

  • Let $U$ be an open subset of a smooth $n$-manifold $N$. Let $S$ be a subset of a smooth $m$-manifold $M$. Let $U$ be diffeomorphic to $S$. Then $m=n$ if and only if $S$ is open in $M$. $\tag{3}$

Are these correct?
