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.
