Surfaces in 3-space that do not lift to embeddings in 4-space

J. Carter, Masahico Saito (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

A necessary and sufficient condition for an immersed surface in 3-space to be lifted to an embedding in 4-space is given in terms of colorings of the preimage of the double point set. Giller's example and two new examples of non-liftable generic surfaces in 3-space are presented. One of these examples has branch points. The other is based on a construction similar to the construction of Giller's example in which the orientation double cover of a surface with odd Euler characteristic...

On surface braids of index four with at most two crossings

Teruo Nagase, Akiko Shima (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let Γ be a 4-chart with at most two crossings. We show that if the closure of the surface braid obtained from Γ is one 2-sphere, then the sphere is a ribbon surface.

Embedded surfaces in the 3-torus

Allan L. Edmonds (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Those maps of a closed surface to the three-dimensional torus that are homotopic to embeddings are characterized. Particular attention is paid to the more involved case when the surface is nonorientable.

Surfaces with prescribed Weingarten operator

Udo Simon, Konrad Voss, Luc Vrancken, Martin Wiehe (2002)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We investigate pairs of surfaces in Euclidean 3-space with the same Weingarten operator in case that one surface is given as surface of revolution. Our local and global results complement global results on ovaloids of revolution from S-V-W-W.

Looseness and Independence Number of Triangulations on Closed Surfaces

Atsuhiro Nakamoto, Seiya Negami, Kyoji Ohba, Yusuke Suzuki (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The looseness of a triangulation G on a closed surface F2, denoted by ξ (G), is defined as the minimum number k such that for any surjection c : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , k + 3}, there is a face uvw of G with c(u), c(v) and c(w) all distinct. We shall bound ξ (G) for triangulations G on closed surfaces by the independence number of G denoted by α(G). In particular, for a triangulation G on the sphere, we have [...] and this bound is sharp. For a triangulation G on a non-spherical surface...
