Reference Request: Compact manifolds with boundary have the homotopy type of a CW-complex
I have no idea at the moment where to find a reference for the specific result you seek. However, it can be deduced from the following fact: topological manifolds (paracompact and Hausdorff) are absol …

Is the space of diffeomorphisms homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex?
[Edit: Allen Hatcher posted an answer while I was writing this one. Both answers seem to use similar ideas. I will leave my answer here anyway.]

Is the space of diffeomorphisms homotopy equivalent to a CW-complex?
Clarification: My question concerns the homotopy type of the space of $C^k$ diffeomorphisms with the compact-open $C^k$ topology, where $0< k \leq\infty$. I have stated my question below with $k=1$ fo …

Strong Whitney embedding theorem for non-compact manifolds
$\newcommand{\RR}{\mathbb{R}}$The present question arises from some confusion on my part regarding the precise statement of the strong Whitney embedding theorem for non-compact manifolds.
The strong …
