A closed manifold is a that is and has no boundary.

Smooth manifolds

A closed smooth manifold is a whose underlying topological manifold is closed.

Here “closed” does not merely mean closed as a subset of some ambient Euclidean space; it is intrinsic shorthand for compact without boundary. Spheres and tori are closed, while positive-dimensional Euclidean space and a positive-dimensional closed disk are not—the former is noncompact and the latter has boundary.
