A pair $(X, \cT)$ is a \emph{topological space}\footnote{In such case the elements $O\in\cT$ of $\cT$ are all subsets of $X$ called \emph{open} subsets and $\cT$ is a \emph{topology} on $X$.} if
A topological space $(X, \cT)$ is \emph{Hausdorff} if every two distinct points admit disjoint open neighbourhoods. That is, for every pair $x\neq y$ of points in $X$, there exist open subsets $U_x, U_y\in\cT$ such that $x\in U_x$, $y\in U_y$ and $U_x \cap U_y = \emptyset$.
Hausdorff spaces are still rather general: in particular, any metric space with the metric topology\footnote{Recall that in a metric space $X$ the \emph{metric topology} is defined in the following way: a set $U\subset X$ is called open if for any $x\in U$ there exists $\epsilon>0$ such that $U$ fully contains the ball of radius $\epsilon$ around $x$.} is Hausdorff.

A topological space $(X, \cT)$ is \emph{second countable} if there exists a countable set $\cB\subset\cT$ such that any open set can be written as a union of sets in $\cB$.
101

In such case, $\cB$ is called a (countable) basis for the topology $\cT$.
A topological space\sidenote[][-1.5em]{From now on, if we say that $X$ is a topological space we are implying that there is a topology $\cT$ defined on $X$.} $M$ is a \emph{topological manifold} of dimension $n$, or topological $n$-manifold, if it has the following properties:

Reusing the notation of the definition above, we call \emph{(coordinate) chart} the pair $(U, \varphi)$ of a \emph{coordinate neighbourhood}\footnote{Or \emph{coordinate open set}} $U$ and an associated \emph{coordinate map}\footnote{Or \emph{coordinate system}.} $\varphi: U\to V$ onto an open subset $V=\varphi(U)\subseteq\R^n$ of $\R^n$.

Furthermore, we say that a chart is \emph{centred at $p\in U$} if $\varphi(p) = 0$.

For manifolds, the situation is much more complicated: for example, on a M\"obius strip\footnote{Cf. Example~\ref{ex:mobius}.} it is impossible to make any such choice, it is non-orientable.
