If $[p] \neq [q] \in \mathbb{RP}^2$, then $\pm p, \pm q \in \S^2$ are distinct antipodal pairs. Take small open discs centred at $p$ and $q$ and their antipodal image as in picture \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/7c9b17dc-5d64-4a5e-9c48-0f24af3029fb.png} \end{center} This gives open neighbourhood of $[p]$ and $[q]$ in $\mathbb{RP}^2$. $q \colon S^2 \to \mathbb{RP}^2$, $q(B_\delta(p))$ is \emph{open} since \[ r^{-1}(q(B_\delta(p)) = B_\delta(p) \cup (-B_\delta(p)) \] $\mathbb{RP}^2$ is second countable: Let $\mathcal{U}_0$ be a countable base for $S^2$ and let \[ \ol{\mathcal{U}} = \{q(u) \colon U \in \mathcal{U}\} \] $q(u)$ is open: \[ q^{-1}(qU) = U \cup (-U) \] $\ol{\mathcal{U}}$ is clearly countable since $\mathcal{U}$ is Take $V \subset \mathbb{RP}^2$ open. By definition, $q^{-1} V$ is open in $S^2$ hence $q^{-1} V = \bigcup_\alpha U_\alpha$, $U_\alpha \in \mathcal{U}$. \[ V = q(q^{-1}V) = q \left( \bigcup_\alpha U_\alpha \right) = \bigcup_\alpha q(U_\alpha) \] Finally, let $p \in S^2$ and $[p] \in \mathbb{RP}^2$ its image. Let $\ol{D}$ be a small closed disc neighbourhood of $p \in S^2$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/3d6634fa-6739-4221-80fa-41b90338b6a9.png} \end{center} $q |_{\ol{D}} \colon \ol{D} \to q(\ol{D}) \subset \mathbb{RP}^2$ is injective and continuous, from a compact space to a Hausdorff space. (Recall ``Topological inverse function theorem''). A continuous bijection from a compact space to a Hausdorff space is a \emph{homemorphism} (Analysis and Topology). So $q |_{\ol{D}} \colon \ol{D} \to q(\ol{D})$ is a homeomorphism. This induces a homemorphism \[ q|_D \colon D \to q(D) \subset \mathbb{RP}^2 \] ($D$ is open disc). So $[p] \in q(D)$ has an open neighbourhood in $\mathbb{RP}^2$ homeomorphic to an open disc and we're done. \end{proof} \item Let $S^1 = \{z \in \ZZ \colon |z| = 1\}$. The \emph{forms} $S^1 \times S^1$ with the subspace topology of $\CC^2$ (check: is the same as product topology). \begin{lemma} The forms is a topological surface. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} $\RR^2 \stackrel{e}{\to} S^1 \times S^1 \subset \CC \times \CC$, $(s, t) \mapsto (e^{2\pi is}, e^{2\pi i t})$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/e404dbe1-771a-47a7-bdbc-4e9057b4dbea.png} \end{center} Equivalence relation on $\RR^2$ given by translating by $\ZZ^2 = \ZZ \times \ZZ$. The map \[ [0, 1]^2 \injto \RR^2 \stackrel{q}{\to} \RR^2 / \ZZ^2 \] is onto, so $\RR^2 / \ZZ^2$ is compact. Note that $\hat{e}$ is a continuous bijection. By Topological Inverse Function Theorem, $\hat{e}$ is a homeomorphism. \begin{note*} We already know that $S^1 \times S^1$ is compact, Hausdorff and second countable (closed and bounded in $\RR^4$). \end{note*} As for the case of $S^2 \to \mathbb{RP}^2$, pick $[p] \in q(p)$, $p \in \RR^2$ and small closed disc $\ol{D}(p) \subset \RR^2$ such that $\forall (u, v) \neq (0, 0) \in \ZZ^2$, $\ol{D}(p) \cap (\ol{D}(p) + (u, v)) = \emptyset$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/1c078dd9-ed7b-4480-bf39-43d6725a867b.png} \end{center} Then $e|_{\ol{D}(p)}$ and $q|_{\ol{D}(p)}$ are injective. Now restricting to the open disc as before, we get an open disc neighbourhood of $[p] \in \RR^2 / \ZZ^2$ hence $S^1 \times S^1$ is a topological surface. \end{proof} \myskip Another viewpoint: $\RR^2 / \ZZ^2$ is also given by imposing on $[0, 1]^2$ the equivalence relation $(x, 0) \sim (x, 1) ~\forall 0 \le x \le 1$, $(0, y) \sim (1, y) ~\forall 0 \le y \le 1$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/6c536ecc-c347-4c21-a270-75bbf13a1cd9.png} \end{center} \item Let $P$ be a planar Euclidean polygon (including interior). Assume the edges are \emph{oriented} and \emph{paired} and for simplicity assume Euclidean lengths of $e$ and $\hat{e}$ are equal if $\{e, \hat{e}\}$ are paired. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/0398dd4c-d403-4f07-9264-34b52cae1f43.png} \end{center} Label by letters and describe orientation by a sign $\pm$ relative to the clock with orientation of $\RR^2$. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.6\linewidth] {images/f6f70541-be71-45d3-91d6-fff217c67382.png} \end{center} If $\{e, \hat{e}\}$ are parallel edges, there is a unique isometry from from $e$ to $\hat{e}$ respecting their orientation, say \[ f_{e\hat{e}} \colon e \to \hat{e} \] These maps generate an equivalence relation on $P$ where we identify $x \in \partial P$ with $f_{e\hat{e}}(x)$ whenever $x \in e$. \begin{lemma} $P / \sim$ (with the quotient topology) is a topological surface. \end{lemma} \end{enumerate}
