Is a manifold-with-boundary with given interior and non-empty boundary essentially unique?

Let $M$ be a compact connected manifold-with-boundary such that $\circ M \neq \emptyset$, where $\circ M$ is the boundary of $M$. Let $N$ be a compact connected manifold-with-boundary such that $\circ …

When is a manifold boundary a deformation retract of its open neighborhood?

Clearly $\partial M$ being collared in $M$ is a fairly general sufficient condition (this includes paracompact manifolds). …

Collared boundary of a non-metrizable manifold

Every metrizable manifold-with-boundary has a collared boundary, as shown in "Locally flat imbeddings of topological manifolds", Morton Brown, 1962. …

Collared boundary of a non-metrizable manifold

The following strengthening of the theorem in Gauld's book "Non-metrizable manifolds" holds: Let $X$ be a manifold-with-boundary. … Applied to manifolds-with-boundary, if $X$ is a manifold-with-boundary, $Y$ is a (boundaryless) manifold, and $\partial X$ is $X$-collared, then $X \times Y$ is a manifold-with-boundary, and $\partial …
