From Möbius Bands to Klein-Knottles
نویسنده
چکیده
A construction of various immersed Klein bottles that belong to different regular homotopy classes, and which thus cannot be smoothly transformed into one another, is introduced. It is shown how these shapes can be partitioned into two Möbius bands and how the twistedness of these bands defines the homotopy type. Some wild and artistic variants of Klein bottles are presented for their aesthetic appeal and to serve as study objects for analysis.

From Moebius Bands to Klein-Knottles
The construction of various of Klein bottles that belong to different regular homotopy classes, and which thus cannot be smoothly transformed into one another, is formally introduced. For all cases it is shown how these shapes can be partitioned into two Moebius bands and how the twistedness of these bands defines the homotopy type. Some wild and artistic variants of Klein bottles are presented...
متن کاملMöbius Bands with a Quasipositive Fibred Hole
We prove that every knot in the 3-space bounds an embedded punctured Möbius band whose other boundary component is a quasipositive fibred knot.
متن کاملDimer statistics on the Möbius strip and the Klein bottle
Closed-form expressions are obtained for the generating function of close-packed dimers on a 2M × 2N simple quartic lattice embedded on a Möbius strip and a Klein bottle. Finite-size corrections are also analyzed and compared with those under cylindrical and free boundary conditions. Particularly, it is found that, for large lattices of the same size and with a square symmetry, the number of di...
متن کاملFinitized Conformal Spectra of the Ising Model on the Klein Bottle and Möbius Strip
We study the conformal spectra of the critical square lattice Ising model on the Klein bottle andMöbius strip using Yang-Baxter techniques and the solution of functional equations. In particular, we obtain expressions for the finitized conformal partition functions in terms of finitized Virasoro characters. This demonstrates that Yang-Baxter techniques and functional equations can be used to st...
متن کاملKeizo Ushio’s Sculptures, Split Tori and Möbius Bands
Keizo Ushio is a leading international stone sculptor whose work has introduced split tori and Möbius bands to the world on a grand scale. Starting with a simple circular torus or with more elaborate twisting bands, he drills a large number of closely spaced holes to form two strands, which may or may not be connected, depending on the overall rotation of the cutting void. In the case of a toru...
