My question is motivated by the claim that I believe to be true, but I have not seen proven, that the germ of an analytic function $f$ at the point $x \in M$ is insufficient to determine the global topology of $M$, where $M$ is a connected analytic manifold, and $f$ is everywhere analytic in $M$. Therefore, there should be a proof-by-counterexample, but I have been unable to come up with one. Any ideas? David Addendum: I am particularly interested in the case where the function $f$ is the metric $g_{ij}$ of a 4-dimensional manifold. However, I'm not sure if that changes the essence of the question or not, which is why I didn't formulate it that way.
