Torus cannot collapse to a segment
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: In earlier work, we analyzed the impossibility of codimension-one collapse for surfaces of negative Euler characteristic under the condition of a lower bound for the Gaussian curvature. Here we show that, under similar conditions, the torus cannot collapse to a segment. Unlike the torus, the Klein bottle can collapse to a segment; we show that in such a situation, the loops in a short basis for homology must stay a uniform distance apart.
It is shown that here is no sequence of \(2\)-tori equipped with smooth Riemannian metrics with Gauss curvature bounded from below, which converges in the Gromov-Hausdorff sense to a (non-degenerate) segment. In short, ``the torus cannot collpase to a segment. It is also shown that the flat Klein bottle collapses to a segment.
