I'm thinking of a space $\Bbb S^2$ in which each "quadrant" of $\Bbb S^2$ is diffeomorphic to $\Bbb R^2,$ and a space $\Bbb S^3$ in which each "octant" of $\Bbb S^3$ is diffeomorphic to $\Bbb R^3.$
To clarify, the "quadrants" and "octants," are disjoint submanifolds whose union's closure is the w...
