Dogbone space


In geometric topology, the dogbone space, constructed by , is a quotient space of three-dimensional Euclidean space such that all inverse images of points are points or tame arcs, yet it is not homeomorphic to. The name "dogbone space" refers to a fanciful resemblance between some of the diagrams of genus 2 surfaces in R.H. Bing's paper and a dog bone. showed that the product of the dogbone space with is homeomorphic to.
Although the dogbone space is not a manifold, it is a generalized homological manifold and a homotopy manifold.
