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...

Mini-programs for hidden lines on a surface

Josef Kateřiňák (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

Many programs for the hidden lines on a surface are known [1] but these programs are long and need a large memory of the computer. In this paper we show algorithms and the corresponding mini-program in BASIC which can be implemented on minicomputers with plotters or plotting displays. We map the surface in the parallel or central projections.
