Generalization of a Theorem on the Equivalence of the Coordinate and Algebraic Definitions of a Smooth Manifold

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize the theorem on the equivalence of the coordinate and algebraic definitions of a smooth manifold. Within the framework of the algebraic approach, a point is considered as a homomorphism from the algebra of smooth real functions defined on a manifold into the field of real numbers. We consider a generalization for the case where the field of real numbers is replaced by an arbitrary associative normalized algebra, generally speaking, noncommutative.
