Geometrical Theory on Combinatorial Manifolds
Abstract
For an integer , a combinatorial manifold is defined to be a geometrical object such that for , there is a local chart enable with , where is an -ball for integers . Topological and differential structures such as those of -pathwise connected, homotopy classes, fundamental -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.
