<abstract language="eng">A graph theoretical model of a continuous space is a graph with the same topological structure as its continuous counterpart. A digital closed n-dimensional manifold with a locally spherical topology is a graph theoretic model for a continuous closed n-dimensional manifold. This paper defines and studies properties of a new class of digital n-dimensional spaces with a locally non-spherical topology. We prove that such spaces have the dimension n≥3. We define and investigate properties of digital 3- and 5-dimensional closed surfaces with a local toroidal and projective plane topology. These spaces have no direct continuous counterparts among n-dimensional manifolds in classical topology. These results arise questions like what physical, chemical or biological structures can be described by digital n-dimensional surfaces with a locally non-spherical topology.</abstract>
