TauCeti.LowDimTopology.Heegaard.CircleTimesSphere

The genus-one Heegaard diagram of S¹ × S² #

On the torus ℝ² / ℤ² let α be the circle y = 0 and let β be the circle y = ε sin (2π x) for a small ε > 0, both oriented by increasing x. Two isotopic attaching circles on a torus give S¹ × S²; the perturbation makes them meet transversally in the two points p₀ = (0, 0) and p₁ = (1/2, 0). The complement of α ∪ β has three regions: the bigon B₁ between α and β over 0 < x < 1/2, where β lies above α; the bigon B₂ over 1/2 < x < 1, where β lies below α; and the annulus A making up the rest of the torus.

In TauCeti.HeegaardRegionSystem.circleTimesSphere r the points p₀, p₁ are 0, 1 : Fin 2, the regions A, B₁, B₂ are 0, 1, 2 : Fin 3, and the single basepoint lies in the region r. Both bigons are domains from the generator p₀ to the generator p₁, so their difference B₁ - B₂, whose boundary is α - β, is a periodic domain whenever the basepoint lies in A.

This is a basic example of a diagram with a nonzero periodic domain, on which weak admissibility depends on the placement of the basepoint. With the basepoint in the annulus, the periodic domains are the multiples of B₁ - B₂, and the diagram is weakly admissible. With the basepoint in a bigon, say B₁, the periodic domain A + 2 B₂ has no negative coefficient, so the diagram is not weakly admissible.

The regions have Euler characteristics χ(A) = 0 and χ(B₁) = χ(B₂) = 1; the annulus has four corners and each bigon has two. With these, the combinatorial Maslov index of each bigon is 1, as for the domain of a holomorphic bigon, and that of the periodic domain B₁ - B₂ is 0.
