Adjunction spaces and gluing along subsets
[7/100%]Let be the quotient space of coming from identifying with via a homeomorphism , .
Proposition 1.7.6: Suppose there are homeomorphisms , with and . Then the map given by if and if is a homeomorphism.
Prove Proposition 1.7.6.
Consider the space formed from two copies of by identifying to itself via with and ; that is, . Construct a homeomorphism between and the annulus.
Suppose , , where are homeomorphisms. Suppose , where is a homeomorphism. Show that the identity on and on piece together to give a homeomorphism from to .
Show that the Möbius band can also be described as a quotient space , with , .
Consider the quotient space formed from two copies of using by , , . Decide whether is homeomorphic to the annulus or the Möbius band, and prove your assertion.
Show that , where is , and is homeomorphic to .
First choose a homeomorphism from to where . Use this to get a homeomorphism , where is .
Construct a homeomorphism between the quotient space and the circle , where denotes a copy of the interval and the identification glues corresponding endpoints of the two copies together via the identity.
