Immersions of Non-orientable Surfaces
Let F be a closed non-orientable surface. We classify all finite order invariants of immersions of F into R, with values in any Abelian group. We show they are all functions of the universal order 1 invariant that we construct as T ⊕ P ⊕Q where T is a Z valued invariant reflecting the number of triple points of the immersion, and P,Q are Z/2 valued invariants characterized by the property that ...
متن کاملFinding Non-Orientable Surfaces in 3-Manifolds
We investigate the complexity of finding an embedded non-orientable surface of Euler genus g in a triangulated 3-manifold. This problem occurs both as a natural question in low-dimensional topology, and as a first non-trivial instance of embeddability of complexes into 3-manifolds. We prove that the problem is NP-hard, thus adding to the relatively few hardness results that are currently known ...
متن کاملNon-orientable Surfaces in Homology Cobordisms
We investigate constraints on embeddings of a non-orientable surface in a 4-manifold with the homology of M × I, where M is a rational homology 3-sphere. The constraints take the form of inequalities involving the genus and normal Euler class of the surface, and either the Ozsváth– Sazbó d-invariants [38] or Atiyah–Singer ρ-invariants [1] of M . One consequence is that the minimal genus of a sm...
متن کاملMatchings in Graphs on Non-orientable Surfaces
P.W. Kasteleyn stated that the number of perfect matchings in a graph embedding on a surface of genus g is given by a linear combination of 4 Pfafans of modi ed adjacencymatrices of the graph, but didn't actually give the matrices or the linear combination. We generalize this to enumerating the perfect matchings of a graph embedding on an arbitrary compact boundaryless 2-manifold S with a linea...
متن کاملCurve Complexes of Non-orientable Surfaces
We explore non-orientable surfaces and their associated curve complexes. Studying the combinatorics modeled by the curve complex of a surface helps elucidate the algebraic properties of the mapping class group of the surface. We begin by studying geometric properties of the curve complexes of non-orientable surfaces and the geometric properties of natural sub-complexes of the curve complex. Fin...
