Abstract:
If $k$ and $n$ are integers, $0 \leqslant k \leqslant n - 3$, and ${M^n}$ is a topological $n$-manifold without boundary, it is shown that $M$ is $k$-connected if and only if there is a βtameβ $(n - k - 1)$-dimensional closed subset $X$ in $M$ such that $M - X$ is homeomorphic to ${E^n}$.References
