Local products for mapping tori #
The projection of the mapping torus of a homeomorphism φ : F ≃ₜ F to the circle is
locally a product with fibre F. Cutting the circle at the class of a : ℝ chooses the
unique representative of each remaining height in (a, a + 1). The corresponding open
cylinder embeds in the mapping torus and covers precisely the inverse image of the cut circle.
MappingTorus.localProduct identifies that inverse image with the cut circle times F,
commuting with the projections. Thus mapping-torus presentations supply actual local product
charts for fibering over the circle, for arbitrary topological fibres and monodromies.
The fibre inclusion MappingTorus.incl factors through such an open cylinder, so it is an
embedding (MappingTorus.isEmbedding_incl) and a homeomorphism onto the fibre over 0
(MappingTorus.fiberHomeomorph).

The cylinder over an open interval of length one embeds openly in the mapping torus.
The fibre inclusion at height zero is an embedding: it factors through the open cylinder over
(-1/2, 1/2).
The fibre inclusion MappingTorus.incl is a homeomorphism onto the fibre over 0.
Instances For
A local product chart for the mapping-torus projection on the circle cut at a.
The inverse inserts the unique height representative in (a, a + 1).
Instances For
The local product preserves the circle coordinate.
The inverse local product chart uses the representative in (a, a + 1) and leaves
the fibre coordinate unchanged.
The local product chart recovers the fibre coordinate of a cylinder point whose height lies in the chosen interval.
Over the cut circle, the mapping-torus projection is a trivial fibre bundle with fibre F.
Every circle point has an open neighbourhood on which the mapping-torus projection is a trivial fibre bundle with the original fibre.
