A topological invariant is a property of a topological space that remains unchanged under continuous transformations, such as stretching or bending, but not tearing or gluing. These invariants help characterize the fundamental structure of spaces and are crucial in understanding their geometric and analytical properties, especially in the study of shapes and spaces in Riemannian geometry.
congrats on reading the definition of Topological Invariant. now let's actually learn it.
