Exotic affine space explained
In algebraic geometry, an exotic affine space is a complex algebraic variety that is diffeomorphic to
for some
n, but is not isomorphic as an algebraic variety to
.
[1] [2] [3] An example of an exotic
is the
Koras–Russell cubic threefold, which is the subset of
defined by the polynomial equation
