| 13 | +There exists some integer $n\ge 0$ such that each point of $X$ has a neighborhood |
| 14 | +homeomorphic to an open subset of the closed upper half-space $\mathbb R^n_+$, where |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +$$\mathbb R^n_+:=\{(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in\mathbb R^n : x_n\ge 0\}$$ |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +has the Euclidean subspace topology. |
| 19 | +Equivalently, each point has a neighborhood homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^n_+$. |
| 20 | +Note that the value of $n$ is not allowed to differ between points; |
| 21 | +if it can vary, then the space has the weaker property {P235}. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +In the case $n=0$, the half-space $\mathbb R^0_+$ is considered the same as $\mathbb R^0=\{0\}$; |
| 24 | +thus a point having a neighborhood homeomorphic to |
| 25 | +$\mathbb R^0_+$ means it is an isolated point. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +*Note*: For $n>0$, each point $p\in X$ falls into exactly one of two cases: |
| 28 | +- ("manifold interior" point) $p$ has a neighborhood homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^n$; |
| 29 | +- ("manifold boundary" point) $p$ has a neighborhood homeomorphic to $\mathbb R^n_+$ |
| 30 | +with $p$ mapped to a point of $\partial\mathbb R^n_+:=\{x\in\mathbb R^n: x_n=0\}$. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +This property is the main ingredient in the definition of {P237}. |
