A manifold is a topological space that locally resembles Euclidean space near each point. More precisely, each point of an n-dimensional manifold has a neighbourhood that is homeomorphic to the Euclidean space of dimension n.

Reference for the Brown-Gersten property for smooth manifolds
There is an analog of this result for smooth manifolds: the homotopy descent property
for the open cover topology on smooth manifolds boils down to the descent for Mayer-Vietoris squares
and descent for … For the case of smooth manifolds, a recent paper by Kreck and Singhof “Homology and cohomology theories on manifolds”
has an explicit formulation of the axioms of cohomology theories on smooth manifolds …

To what extent differentiable mappings of an affine line into a manifold determine its diffe...
This is true for infinitely differentiable curves: if a map sends smooth curves to smooth curves, then it is smooth, by a theorem of Boman from 1967:

What are some "good" examples of Kan simplicial manifolds?
Kan simplicial manifolds are in the same relation to differentiable ∞-stacks
(i.e., locally fibrant simplicial presheaves on the site of cartesian spaces and smooth maps)
as smooth manifolds are to sheaves … That is to say, Kan simplicial manifolds can be seen as the ∞-categorification of manifolds.
Some important examples include:
Any ordinary manifold, interpreted as a constant simplicial object. …

(Homotopy) colimit and manifold
So my first question is, can a “diagram of spaces over a CW complex” be a manifold? If so, under what conditions?
Any smooth manifold is homotopy equivalent to the homotopy colimit of a diagram of c …

A k-form is thought of as measuring the flux through an infinitesimal k-parallelepiped
See Theorem 1 in Anders Kock's paper
“Differential forms as infinitesimal cochains”,
which is devoted precisely to this question.
Specifically, the map b in the formula (1)
establishes an explicit bij …
