Reference for an easy lemma on homeomorphisms of connected manifolds

If M is a connected manifold of dimension $\geq 2$ then the set of orientation preserving homeomorphisms of M that are isotopic to the identity acts $n$-transitively on M for all positive $n\in\mathbb …

Classifiying sphere eversions

For a year I have been giving lectures on a (probalby) new way to present an explicit sphere eversion. These lectures include a review of many other explicit eversions that have been described, as tex …

Fundamental group of the space of immersions of the 2-sphere in 3-space modulo diffeomorphis...

In a previous Mathoverflow question, we saw that the fundamental group of the space $Imm(S^2,\mathbb{R}^3)$ of immersions the 2-sphere in ordinary 3-space is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}/2 \times \mathbb …

Eversion of the 6-sphere in 7-space

(That's my first post on mathoverflow. Henceforth and unfortunately I am not allowed to post comments (this needs reputation 50), so part of the present post in the answer box would better fit in the …

Group of surface homeomorphisms is locally path-connected

In the particular case of surfaces, I found the following reference which includes a proof that is not too complicated: Regular Mappings and the Space of Homeomorphisms on 2-Manifolds by Hamstrom and …

Group of surface homeomorphisms is locally path-connected

I think the following is true and I need a reference for the proof. (Given a closed surface $S$, i.e. a compact 2-dimensional topological manifold (without boundary), we endow $S$ with a distance gene …
