Compact Manifold Realized as One-Point Compactification

I'm working on the following Problem from Lee's Introduction to Topological Manifolds: "Let $M$ be a compact manifold of positive dimension, and let $p \in M$. Show that $M$ is homeomorphic to ...

Compactification of a noncompact regular level set of a map $\Bbb R^n\to \Bbb R$

Consider a smooth function $f:\Bbb R^n\to \Bbb R$, and a noncompact regular level subset $S=f^{-1}(c)$ for some regular value $c\in \Bbb R$. Then $S$ is a smooth hypersurface in $\Bbb R^n$, so it is ...

Show every compact subspace of $m$-manifold has topological dimension at most $m$.

Notation $\bar{U}$ is the closure of $U$. Definition $U$ is a neighborhood of $x$ means that $U$ is an open set containing $x$. Definition An $m$-manifold is a Hausdorff space $X$ with a countable ...

Rational cohomology of section spaces of one point compactification of tangent bundles over closed manifolds.

Let M be a connected closed manifold ( oriented or nonoriented) of finite type (Betti numbers are finite) and $\Gamma(\mbox{TM}_{c})$ is the space of sections of fiberwise one point compactification ...
