Quasifolds are singular spaces that generalize manifolds and orbifolds. They are locally modeled by manifolds modulo the smooth action of countable groups and they are typically not Hausdorff. If the countable groups happen to be all finite, then quasifolds are orbifolds and if they happen to be all equal to the identity, they are manifolds. For the formal definition and basic properties of quasifolds we refer the reader to [20,6]. In this article we would like to illustrate quasifolds by describing a 2-dimensional example that displays all of their main characteristics: the quasisphere. The reader will not be surprised to discover that quasispheres are generalizations of spheres and orbispheres, so we will begin by recalling some relevant facts on the latter two.From sphere to orbisphere to quasisphereThe sphere Let us write the 2 and 3-dimensional unit spheres as followsThe surjective mappingis known as the Hopf fibration. It is easily seen that the fibers of this mapping are given by the orbits of the circle groupacting on S 3 as follows:e 2πiθ • (z, w) = e 2πiθ z, e 2πiθ w .
