1-manifolds
Abstract
This is hopefully a complete account of the topology of 1-dimensional manifolds. In general, this material is not well represented in the literature. This probably happened because it is considered too simple. Hence it is difficult to find appropriate references. The proofs are very simple, but use ideas that are less applicable in similar high-dimensional situations. This is why most the results below are provided with proofs.
