Is there a notion of "locally flat" for CW complexes?
A submanifold $X^n\subset Y^m$ is locally flat if each point $x\in X$ has a neighborhood $U\subset Y$ so that $(U,U\cap X)\simeq (\Bbb R^m, \Bbb R^n)$ with the standard embedding $\Bbb R^n\...

"Almost embedding" the complete 2-dimensional complex $\mathcal K_7^2$ into $\Bbb R^4$
Let $\mathcal K_7^2$ be the complete 2-dimensional simplicial complex on seven vertices, i.e. it has all $7\choose 2$ edges and all $7\choose 3$ 2-simplices (and no higher-dimensional simplices).
I ...

Ehresmann's fibration theorem for CW or simplicial complexes
Is there an analogue of Ehresmann fibration theorem for (finite) CW complexes ?

CW complex with generalized cells
In the definition of CW complexes, all cells are homeomorphic to closed balls.
I search for a generalized notion of CW complexes. In my application, the complexes are in fact finite.
Is there a ...

All mapping space between CW complexes is a CW complex?
Let $\mathrm{Map}(X,Y)$ denote the (unbased) cellular mapping space from $X$ to $Y$.
If $X$ and $Y$ are finite CW complexes, is $\mathrm{Map}(X,Y)$ a CW complex?
Can we know the cell structure of $\...
