O knihe
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the mathematical disciplines of topology, geometry, and geometric group theory, an orbifold (for 'orbit-manifold') is a generalization of a manifold. It is a topological space (called the underlying space) with an orbifold structure. The underlying space locally looks like the quotient space of a Euclidean space under the linear action of a finite group. Definitions of orbifold have been given several times: by Satake in the context of automorphic forms in the 1950s under the name V-manifold; by Thurston in the context of the geometry of 3-manifolds in the 1970s when he coined the name orbifold, after a vote by his students; and by Haefliger in the 1980s in the context of Gromov's programme on CAT(k) spaces under the name orbihedron. The definition of Thurston will be described here: it is the most widely used and is applicable in all cases.
