From this point of view, the real projective plane is obtained by taking a 2-sphere, cutting a hole, and pasting a Moebius band on the edge of the hole. Of course this can’t be done in R3 since we would have to pass the Moebius band through itself in order to get its boundary (homeomorphic to S 1 ) lined up properly to paste onto the edge of the hole. A Moebius band inserted in a sphere in this way is often called a cross-cap. 2. Group Actions and Orbit Spaces. Let G be a group and X a set. A (left) group action of G on X is a binary operation G×X → X (denoted here (g, x) → gx) such that (i) 1x = x for every x ∈ X.
It is clear that the antipodal map is a nontrivial element of the covering group, so the covering group consists of the identity and the antipodal map. 39. Suppose p : X ˜ locally path connected and connected. Then the action of G = CovX (X) ˜ has the following property: for any x˜ ∈ X ˜ there is an open on X ˜ neigborhood U of x˜ such that g(U ) ∪ U = ∅ for every g ∈ G. An action of a group on a space by continuous maps is called properly discontinuous if the above condition is met. Note that any two translates g(U ) and h(U ) of U by elements of G are disjoint.
CHAPTER 3 Quotient Spaces and Covering Spaces 1. The Quotient Topology Let X be a topological space, and suppose x ∼ y denotes an equivˆ = X/ ∼ the set of equivalence relation defined on X. Denote by X ˆ be the map which alence classes of the relation, and let p : X → X ˆ associates to x ∈ X its equivalence class. We define a topology on X −1 by taking as open all sets Uˆ such that p (Uˆ ) is open in X. ) X topology is called the quotient space of the relation. 1. Let X = I and define ∼ by 0 ∼ 1 and otherwise every point is equivalent just to itself.
