Density of smooth bi-Lipschitz maps in smooth maps

Setup/Motivation: Let $(M,g)$ and $(N,\rho)$ be complete Riemannian manifolds of respective dimensions $m$ and $n$ and suppose that $m\leq n$. Let $\operatorname{bi-C}^{\infty}(M,N)$ denote the class ...

Sheaves on solenoids

Let $(X_n)$ be a tower of finite covering maps of compact smooth manifolds, with $f_{s,t} : X_t\to X_s$ the maps, and $\Lambda_n := f_{n,0}^{-1}\Lambda$, with $\Lambda$ the constant abelian sheaf on $...

Is it true that given any two point in $M$ if there exists an unique geodesic joining those two points, then $M \sim \mathbb{R^n}$ [closed]

This following doubt initially came to my mind while thinking the relationship between number of genus of a manifold and number of geodesic between given two points. DOUBT: Suppose $M\subset \mathbb{...

Numbers associated with boundaries of manifolds

I don't know what name if any is attached to the numbers I'm about to describe. For a line segment, [a,b] the number is 1 if for any k in (a,b) and 2 if k=a or k=b. For a square, [a,b] ...
