Dense immersed cylinder in a three-dimensional torus

ID: dense-immersed-cylinder-in-a-three-dimensional-torus

The map descends to an injective immersion from into the three-dimensional torus. Injectivity follows because an integer difference in with an integer difference in must be zero. Its image is dense by an irrational rotation of the circle, and is tangent to the commuting independent fields and . It is a leaf of a regular foliation, but cannot be an embedded submanifold: in an embedding chart the coordinate plane would be locally closed yet contain a dense ambient subset.
