Closed hemispheres of a unit sphere #
For a unit vector p of a real inner product space E, the closed hemisphere
{x ∈ S | 0 ≤ ⟪x, p⟫} of the unit sphere S of E is homeomorphic to the closed unit ball of
the hyperplane (ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ. The homeomorphism removes the component of x along p; its inverse
lifts a point y of the ball to y + √(1 - ‖y‖²) • p.
The closed hemispheres around p and -p cover the sphere and meet in the equator, the unit
sphere of (ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ, included in S by TauCeti.equatorInclusion p. Closed hemispheres are the
discs out of which the sphere is built in the inductive computations of the homology of the
complement of an embedded sphere.
Main definitions #
TauCeti.hemisphereHomeomorph p: the closed hemisphere aroundpis homeomorphic to the closed unit ball of(ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ.TauCeti.equatorInclusion p: the inclusion of the equator, the unit sphere of(ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ, into the unit sphere ofE.

The closed hemisphere around p is a disc. For a point p of the unit sphere of a real
inner product space E, the closed hemisphere {x | 0 ≤ ⟪x, p⟫} of the unit sphere is
homeomorphic to the closed unit ball of the orthogonal complement (ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ. The homeomorphism
sends x to x - ⟪x, p⟫ • p (TauCeti.coe_hemisphereHomeomorph_apply), and its inverse sends y
to y + √(1 - ‖y‖²) • p (TauCeti.coe_hemisphereHomeomorph_symm_apply).

Instances For
TauCeti.equatorInclusion p is the inclusion of (ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ into E.

closed hemispheres around p and -p.
