Brieskorn manifold

In mathematics, a Brieskorn manifold or Brieskorn–Phạm manifold, introduced by , is the intersection of a small sphere around the origin with the singular, complex hypersurface

studied by .

Brieskorn manifolds give examples of exotic spheres, for example the Gromoll–Meyer sphere.
