Polynomial equations for tight surfaces
In a previous paper [Comment. Math. Helv. 35, 85-92 (1961; Zbl 0243.53043)] the author constructed tight immersions of nonorientable surfaces with Euler characteristic not greater than -2 into Euclidean 3- space. In the case of even Euler characteristic nonorientable handles with nonpositive curvature are attched to a tightly embedded torus. In the present paper the author describes polynomial equations for such tight immersions of nonorientable surfaces with even Euler characteristic. The idea is to take a \(C^{\infty}\) function f such that \(f=0\) describes a given \(C^{\infty}\) surface of that kind, and then to perturb it a little bit. For this purpose one has to distinguish between robust points (which are less problematic) and delicate points: those of zero Gaussian curvature and the locus of the self-intersections. If the set of all delicate points is fixed then tightness is preserved under small \(C^ 2\)-perturbations.
