Manifold Orientation
An orientation on an
-dimensional manifold is given by a nowhere vanishing differential n-form. Alternatively, it is an bundle orientation for the tangent bundle. If an orientation exists on
, then
is called orientable.
Not all manifolds are orientable, as exemplified by the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle, illustrated above.

However, an
-dimensional submanifold of
is orientable iff it has a unit normal vector field. The choice of unit determines the orientation of the submanifold. For example, the sphere
is orientable.
Some types of manifolds are always orientable. For instance, complex manifolds, including varieties, and also symplectic manifolds are orientable. Also, any unoriented manifold has a double cover which is oriented.
A map
between oriented manifolds of the same dimension is called orientation preserving if the volume form on
pulls back to a positive volume form on
. Equivalently, the differential
maps an oriented basis in
to an oriented basis in
.
