The study of differentiable manifolds and differentiable maps. One fundamental problem is that of classifying manifolds up to diffeomorphism. Differential topology is what Poincaré understood as topology or “analysis situs”.

Can one recover the smooth Gauss Bonnet theorem from the combinatorial Gauss Bonnet theorem ...
First let me state two known theorems.
Theorem 1 (for smooth manifolds): Let $(M,g)$ be a smooth compact two dimensional Riemannian manifold. Then
$$ \int \frac{K}{2 \pi} dA = \chi (M) $$
where $K$ i …

Let $V \rightarrow M$ be an oriented vector bundle over a compact
oriented manifold $M$ equipped with a metric $h$ (the metric $h$
is a metric on the Vector bundle $V$, not on the manifold $M$).

Do J-holomorphic curves "very nearly" fail to be an immersion near the bubbling points?
Let $u_{t}: \mathbb{P}^1 \longrightarrow \mathbb{P}^2$ be a family
of degree $2$ maps defined (for $t$ small and non zero) by
$$u_t([X,Y]) := [X^2, t Y^2, XY].$$
Note that as $t$ goes to zero, $u_t …

Is the space of real conics with a singular point an orientable manifold?
Consider the space of non zero real homogeneous degree $2$ polynomials in three variables upto scaling. This space is $\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^5$. The zero set
of such a polynomial gives a real curve i …

Take contraction wrt a vector field twice and define kernel mod image. Does that give anythi...
First, we make the following observation: let $X: M \rightarrow TM $ be a vector
field on a smooth manifold. Taking the contraction with respect to $X$ twice gives zero, i.e.
$$ i_X \circ i_{X} =0.$ …

What is the easiest way to show that three lines in two dimensional space do not intersect?
I have two similar questions:
1) Let $X$ and $Y$ be two measure spaces. Suppose for every point
$x \in X $ there exists a set $ \mathcal{U}_x \subset Y $ of full
measure in $Y$. Suppose $V \subset …

Do partitions of unity exist if we impose additional conditions on the derivatives?
Let $ ~~\cup_{k=-1}^{\infty} U_k = \mathbb{R} $ be an open covering of
$\mathbb{R}$. It is a well known fact that partitions of unity subbordinate to
the cover exists, i.e. there exists smooth
func …

Is it impossible for the dimension of a topological space to increase under a smooth map?
First let me make a definition. Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and
$S \subset M $ a topological subspace of $M$. We say that $S$ has
"dimenion" at most $k$ if $S$ is a subset of
$$ X_1 \cup X_2 \ldots …

Consider the space of all homogeneous degree $d$ polynomials in three variables
$[X,Y,Z]$, i.e.
