Abstract

We recall the definition of the

$$ standard\,n - sphere\quad {{\mathbb{S}}^n} = \{ x \in {{\mathbb{R}}^{{n + 1}}}|\left\| x \right\| = 1\} $$

and

$$ standard\,n - ball\quad {{\mathbb{B}}^n} = \{ y \in {{\mathbb{R}}^n}|\left\| y \right\| \leqslant 1\}, $$

where \( ||x|| = \sqrt {\sum\nolimits_{i = 0}^n {x_i^2} } . \). The open ball, \( \mathop{{{{\mathbb{B}}^n}}}\limits^{ \circ } = \{ y \in {{\mathbb{R}}^n}|\left\| y \right\| < 1\} \) is also called standard n-cell. Let \( Q = (0, \ldots, 0,1) \in {{\mathbb{S}}^n} \), the point with last coordinate Q n = 1.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In fact, already VW implies m = n (see 7.4).

  2. 2.

    The converse is also true; cf. Spanier 7.5.7.
