diffeomorphism Definition
- 1a bijective function between differentiable manifolds whose inverse is also differentiable
- 2a smooth one-to-one mapping of one space onto another that preserves the differential structure

Summary: diffeomorphism in Brief
A 'diffeomorphism' [ˌdɪf.i.əʊˈmɔː.fɪ.zəm] is a bijective and differentiable function between differentiable manifolds, with an inverse that is also differentiable. It is a type of isomorphism that preserves the differential structure of the space. Examples include the diffeomorphism between two manifolds.
