Brouwer degree


Suppose that M and N are two oriented differentiable manifoldsof dimension n (without boundary) with M compact and N connected and suppose thatf:MN is a differentiable mapping. Let Df(x) denote thedifferentialMathworldPlanetmath mapping at the point xM,that is the linear mapping Df(x):Tx(M)Tf(x)(N). Let signDf(x) denote the signof the determinant of Df(x). That is the sign is positive if f preservesorientation and negative if f reverses orientation.

Definition.

Let yN be a regular value, then we define the Brower degree (or justdegree) of f by

degf:=xf-1(y)signDf(x).

It can be shown that the degree does not depend on the regular value y that we pick so that degf is well defined.

Note that this degree coincides with the degree (http://planetmath.org/Degree5) as defined for maps of spheres.
