Surfaces and Fundamental Groups
HOMEWORK 5 — SURFACES AND FUNDAMENTAL GROUPS DANNY CALEGARI This homework is due Wednesday November 22nd at the start of class. Remember that the notation e1; e2; : : : ; en w1; w2; : : : ; wm h j i denotes the group whose generators are equivalence classes of words in the generators ei 1 and ei− , where two words are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by inserting 1 1 or deleting eiei− or ei− ei or by inserting or deleting a word wj or its inverse. Problem 1. Let Sn be a surface obtained from a regular 4n–gon by identifying opposite sides by a translation. What is the Euler characteristic of Sn? What surface is it? Find a presentation for its fundamental group. Problem 2. Let S be the surface obtained from a hexagon by identifying opposite faces by translation. Then the fundamental group of S should be given by the generators a; b; c 1 1 1 corresponding to the three pairs of edges, with the relation abca− b− c− coming from the boundary of the polygonal region. What is wrong with this argument? Write down an actual presentation for π1(S; p). What surface is S? Problem 3. The four–color theorem of Appel and Haken says that any map in the plane can be colored with at most four distinct colors so that two regions which share a com- mon boundary segment have distinct colors. Find a cell decomposition of the torus into 7 polygons such that each two polygons share at least one side in common. Remark.

An Introduction to Topology the Classification Theorem for Surfaces by E
An Introduction to Topology An Introduction to Topology The Classification theorem for Surfaces By E. C. Zeeman Introduction. The classification theorem is a beautiful example of geometric topology. Although it was discovered in the last century*, yet it manages to convey the spirit of present day research. The proof that we give here is elementary, and its is hoped more intuitive than that found in most textbooks, but in none the less rigorous. It is designed for readers who have never done any topology before. It is the sort of mathematics that could be taught in schools both to foster geometric intuition, and to counteract the present day alarming tendency to drop geometry. It is profound, and yet preserves a sense of fun. In Appendix 1 we explain how a deeper result can be proved if one has available the more sophisticated tools of analytic topology and algebraic topology. Examples. Before starting the theorem let us look at a few examples of surfaces. In any branch of mathematics it is always a good thing to start with examples, because they are the source of our intuition. All the following pictures are of surfaces in 3-dimensions. In example 1 by the word “sphere” we mean just the surface of the sphere, and not the inside. In fact in all the examples we mean just the surface and not the solid inside. 1. Sphere. 2. Torus (or inner tube). 3. Knotted torus. 4. Sphere with knotted torus bored through it. * Zeeman wrote this article in the mid-twentieth century. 1 An Introduction to Topology 5.

The Hairy Klein Bottle
Bridges 2019 Conference Proceedings The Hairy Klein Bottle Daniel Cohen1 and Shai Gul 2 1 Dept. of Industrial Design, Holon Institute of Technology, Israel; [email protected] 2 Dept. of Applied Mathematics, Holon Institute of Technology, Israel; [email protected] Abstract In this collaborative work between a mathematician and designer we imagine a hairy Klein bottle, a fusion that explores a continuous non-vanishing vector field on a non-orientable surface. We describe the modeling process of creating a tangible, tactile sculpture designed to intrigue and invite simple understanding. Figure 1: The hairy Klein bottle which is described in this manuscript Introduction Topology is a field of mathematics that is not so interested in the exact shape of objects involved but rather in the way they are put together (see [4]). A well-known example is that, from a topological perspective a doughnut and a coffee cup are the same as both contain a single hole. Topology deals with many concepts that can be tricky to grasp without being able to see and touch a three dimensional model, and in some cases the concepts consists of more than three dimensions. Some of the most interesting objects in topology are non-orientable surfaces. Séquin [6] and Frazier & Schattschneider [1] describe an application of the Möbius strip, a non-orientable surface. Séquin [5] describes the Klein bottle, another non-orientable object that "lives" in four dimensions from a mathematical point of view. This particular manuscript was inspired by the hairy ball theorem which has the remarkable implication in (algebraic) topology that at any moment, there is a point on the earth’s surface where no wind is blowing.

Recognizing Surfaces
RECOGNIZING SURFACES Ivo Nikolov and Alexandru I. Suciu Mathematics Department College of Arts and Sciences Northeastern University Abstract The subject of this poster is the interplay between the topology and the combinatorics of surfaces. The main problem of Topology is to classify spaces up to continuous deformations, known as homeomorphisms. Under certain conditions, topological invariants that capture qualitative and quantitative properties of spaces lead to the enumeration of homeomorphism types. Surfaces are some of the simplest, yet most interesting topological objects. The poster focuses on the main topological invariants of two-dimensional manifolds—orientability, number of boundary components, genus, and Euler characteristic—and how these invariants solve the classification problem for compact surfaces. The poster introduces a Java applet that was written in Fall, 1998 as a class project for a Topology I course. It implements an algorithm that determines the homeomorphism type of a closed surface from a combinatorial description as a polygon with edges identified in pairs. The input for the applet is a string of integers, encoding the edge identifications. The output of the applet consists of three topological invariants that completely classify the resulting surface. Topology of Surfaces Topology is the abstraction of certain geometrical ideas, such as continuity and closeness. Roughly speaking, topol- ogy is the exploration of manifolds, and of the properties that remain invariant under continuous, invertible transforma- tions, known as homeomorphisms. The basic problem is to classify manifolds according to homeomorphism type. In higher dimensions, this is an impossible task, but, in low di- mensions, it can be done. Surfaces are some of the simplest, yet most interesting topological objects.

Bridges Conference Paper
Bridges Finland Conference Proceedings From Klein Bottles to Modular Super-Bottles Carlo H. Séquin CS Division, University of California, Berkeley E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A modular approach is presented for the construction of 2-manifolds of higher genus, corresponding to the connected sum of multiple Klein bottles. The geometry of the classical Klein bottle is employed to construct abstract geometrical sculptures with some aesthetic qualities. Depending on how the modular components are combined to form these “Super-Bottles” the resulting surfaces may be single-sided or double-sided. 1. Double-Sided, Orientable Handle-Bodies It is easy to make models of mathematical tori or handle-bodies of higher genus from parts that one can find in any hardware store. Four elbow pieces of some PVC or copper pipe system connected into a loop will form a model of a torus of genus 1 (Fig.1a). By adding a pair of branching parts, a 2-hole torus (genus 2) can be constructed (Fig.1b). By introducing additional branching pieces, more handles can be formed and orientable handle-bodies of arbitrary genus can be obtained (Fig.1c,d). (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 1: Orientable handle-bodies made from PVC pipe components: (a) simple torus of genus 1, (b) 2-hole torus of genus 2, (c) handle-body of genus 3, (d) handle-body of genus 7.

Möbius Strip and Klein Bottle * Other Non
Möbius Strip and Klein Bottle * Other non-orientable surfaces in 3DXM: Cross-Cap, Steiner Surface, Boy Surfaces. The Möbius Strip is the simplest of the non-orientable surfaces. On all others one can find Möbius Strips. In 3DXM we show a family with ff halftwists (non-orientable for odd ff, ff = 1 the standard strip). All of them are ruled surfaces, their lines rotate around a central circle. Möbius Strip Parametrization: aa(cos(v) + u cos(ff v/2) cos(v)) F (u, v) = aa(sin(v) + u cos(ff · v/2) sin(v)) Mo¨bius aa u sin(ff v· /2) · . Try from the View Menu: Distinguish Sides By Color. You will see that the sides are not distinguished—because there is only one: follow the band around. We construct a Klein Bottle by curving the rulings of the Möbius Strip into figure eight curves, see the Klein Bottle Parametrization below and its Range Morph in 3DXM. w = ff v/2 · (aa + cos w sin u sin w sin 2u) cos v F (u, v) = (aa + cos w sin u − sin w sin 2u) sin v Klein − sin w sin u + cos w sin 2u . * This file is from the 3D-XplorMath project. Please see: http://3D-XplorMath.org/ 43 There are three different Klein Bottles which cannot be deformed into each other through immersions. The best known one has a reflectional symmetry and looks like a weird bottle. See formulas at the end. The other two are mirror images of each other. Along the central circle one of them is left-rotating the other right-rotating.

Topological Phases on Non-orientable Surfaces: Twisting by Parity Symmetry AtMa P.O. Chan,1 Jeﬀrey C.Y. Teo,2 and Shinsei Ryu1 1Institute for Condensed Matter Theory and Department of Physics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1110 West Green St, Urbana IL 61801 2Department of Physics, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA We discuss (2+1)D topological phases on non-orientable spatial surfaces, such as M¨obius strip, real projective plane and Klein bottle, etc., which are obtained by twisting the parent topological phases by their underlying parity symmetries through introducing parity defects. We construct the ground states on arbitrary non-orientable closed manifolds and calculate the ground state degeneracy. Such degeneracy is shown to be robust against continuous deformation of the underlying manifold. We also study the action of the mapping class group on the multiplet of ground states on the Klein bottle. The physical properties of the topological states on non-orientable surfaces are deeply related to the parity symmetric anyons which do not have a notion of orientation in their statistics. For example, the number of ground states on the real projective plane equals the root of the number of distinguishable parity symmetric anyons, while the ground state degeneracy on the Klein bottle equals the total number of parity symmetric anyons; In deforming the Klein bottle, the Dehn twist encodes the topological spins whereas the Y-homeomorphism tells the particle-hole relation of the parity symmetric anyons.

Embedding the Petersen Graph on the Cross Cap
Embedding the Petersen Graph on the Cross Cap Julius Plenz Martin Zänker April 8, 2014 Introduction In this project we will introduce the Petersen graph and highlight some of its interesting properties, explain the construction of the cross cap and proceed to show how to embed the Petersen graph onto the suface of the cross cap without any edge intersection – an embedding that is not possible to achieve in the plane. 3 Since the self-intersection of the cross cap in R is very hard to grasp in a planar setting, we will subsequently create an animation using the 3D modeling software Maya that visualizes the important aspects of this construction. In particular, this visualization makes possible to develop an intuition of the object at hand. 1 Theoretical Preliminaries We will ﬁrst explore the construction of the Petersen graph and the cross cap, highlighting interesting properties. We will then proceed to motivate the embedding of the Petersen graph on the surface of the cross cap. 1.1 The Petersen Graph The Petersen graph is an important example from graph theory that has proven to be useful in particular as a counterexample. It is most easily described as the special case of the Kneser graph: Deﬁnition 1 (Kneser graph). The Kneser graph of n, k (denoted KGn;k) consists of the k-element subsets of f1; : : : ;ng as vertices, where an edge connects two vertices if and only if the two sets corre- sponding to the vertices are disjoint. n−k n−k The graph KGn;k is k -regular, i.

Today we have some equations for this topological object which are fully satisfactory from a technical point of view and that can be called canonical for their simplicity and because of the clear and under- standable shapes they lead to. They are due to T. Banchoff and B. Lawson and are described in detail later in this article. However, they do not Figure 1.
