The hemispheres of S² as graphs over the unit disc #
The closed upper and lower hemispheres of the unit sphere S² ⊆ ℝ³ are the graphs of
u ↦ ±√(1 - ‖u‖²) over the closed unit disc of ℂ, identified with the plane x₂ = 0 by
u ↦ (Re u, Im u). For a sign c (that is, c ^ 2 = 1), TauCeti.hemisphereGraph sends a point
u of the disc to (Re u, Im u, c √(1 - ‖u‖²)). The two hemispheres cover the sphere, agree on
the equator ‖u‖ = 1, and meet only there.
These are the hemispheres TauCeti.prodHemisphereGraph of the unit sphere of WithLp 2 (ℂ × ℝ),
moved into ℝ³ by the linear isometry TauCeti.complexProdRealLinearIsometryEquiv,
(u, t) ↦ (Re u, Im u, t), and their properties are derived from the general ones there. They
are also the coordinate form, over the unit disc of ℂ, of the inverse of
TauCeti.hemisphereHomeomorph, which parametrizes the closed hemisphere around any unit vector
p of a real inner product space by the closed unit ball of (ℝ ∙ p)ᗮ. The disc of ℂ is the one
used by D² × S¹ solid tori, so these graphs are the solid tori S¹ × D²₊ and S¹ × D²₋ of
S¹ × S².

Instances For
The first coordinate of TauCeti.hemisphereGraphPoint c u is the real part of u.
The second coordinate of TauCeti.hemisphereGraphPoint c u is the imaginary part of u.
The last coordinate of TauCeti.hemisphereGraphPoint c u is c √(1 - ‖u‖²).
For a sign c, the points TauCeti.hemisphereGraphPoint c u over the closed unit disc lie on
the unit sphere.
The hemisphere of S² of sign c, the graph of u ↦ c √(1 - ‖u‖²) over the closed unit
disc of ℂ: the hemisphere TauCeti.prodHemisphereGraph hc of the unit sphere of
WithLp 2 (ℂ × ℝ), moved into ℝ³ by TauCeti.complexProdRealLinearIsometryEquiv.
Instances For
TauCeti.hemisphereGraph hc u is the point TauCeti.hemisphereGraphPoint c u.
The hemisphere graphs are continuous.
The first two coordinates of a point of a hemisphere recover the point of the disc, whatever the signs of the two hemispheres.
The hemispheres of any two signs agree on the equator.
Hemispheres of opposite signs meet only over the boundary of the disc.
Every point of S² whose last coordinate x₂ has 0 ≤ c x₂ lies on the hemisphere of sign
c, over the point x₀ + i x₁ of the disc.
