Suppose that $M$ closed orientable 2-manifold and $chi (M) = 2$.
Why is $M$ a sphere?



I want a prove with triangulation.

    The Euler characteristic is related to the genus by $chi(M) = 2-2g$. This implies $g=0$.

  • @Nick your answer has one mistake. definition of genus is $ g := frac{- chi (M) + 2}{2}$ and your answer has cyclic.

By classification of surfaces, two closed orientable surfaces are homeomorphic if and only if their Euler characteristics agree. To show that $chi(S^2) = 2$, consider a vertex with a loop to itself (1 edge), then glue two discs (2 faces) with disjoint interiors along the loop.
