| Nov 1, 2011 at 20:36 | comment | added | Ryan Budney | This is the classification theorem for compact 2-manifolds. You can find a proof in a variety of places. Singer and Thorpe's "Lecture Notes on Elementary Geometry and Topology" is a nice one. That's a bit old, though. I think this is also in many of the textbooks by Stillwell that involve surfaces. Proofs boil down to triangulability + Poincare duality + the simply connected case. | |
