Abstract. An interesting result of Doyle and Hocking states that a topological n-manifold is invertible if and only if it is a homeomorphic image of the n-sphere S n . We shall prove that the sphere of any infinite-dimensional normed space is invertible. We shall also discuss the invertibility of other infinite-dimensional objects as well as an infinite-dimensional version of the Doyle-Hocking theorem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
