Whitney: differentiable manifolds and Euclidean embedding

Contribution grade

Geometry · THEOREM

Reference score270,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Established differentiable-manifold results and finite-dimensional Euclidean embedding/regular-map statements.

Scientific scope

The record is Whitney's sole-author 1936 Annals of Mathematics paper and its stated dimensional bounds. It does not absorb later sharpened embeddings and immersions, Whitney extension theory or every modern manifold convention.
