Abstract

For an integer m1m\geq 1, a combinatorial manifold M~\widetilde{M} is defined to be a geometrical object M~\widetilde{M} such that for pM~\forall p\in\widetilde{M}, there is a local chart (Up,ϕp)(U_p,\phi_p) enable ϕp:UpBni1Bni2...Bnis(p)\phi_p:U_p\to B^{n_{i_1}}\bigcup B^{n_{i_2}}\bigcup...\bigcup B^{n_{i_{s(p)}}} with Bni1Bni2...Bnis(p)B^{n_{i_1}}\bigcap B^{n_{i_2}}\bigcap...\bigcap B^{n_{i_{s(p)}}}\not=\emptyset, where BnijB^{n_{i_j}} is an nijn_{i_j}-ball for integers 1js(p)m1\leq j\leq s(p)\leq m. Topological and differential structures such as those of dd-pathwise connected, homotopy classes, fundamental dd-groups in topology and tangent vector fields, tensor fields, connections, {\it Minkowski} norms in differential geometry on these finitely combinatorial manifolds are introduced. Some classical results are generalized to finitely combinatorial manifolds. Euler-Poincare characteristic is discussed and geometrical inclusions in Smarandache geometries for various geometries are also presented by the geometrical theory on finitely combinatorial manifolds in this paper.
