How much of topology one needs to know to have a great knowledge of the math of Special and General Relativity?
I'm asking this because I'm interested in really look at the theory of Relativity with the eyes of a mathematician.
I suppose that just knowing what a manifold is or even what a topological space is, isn't enough. But also, I suppose that Relativity doesn't require one having a "phD" in topology.
