Put . Since is arc length, , so . The curvature of a space curve is
Where , define the principal normal and binormal by
and define the torsion of a space curve by
Thus torsion requires nonzero curvature, so that and are defined.
Differentiating the orthonormality relations for the frame shows that its derivative matrix is skew-symmetric. Since , differentiating and using the definition of gives the Frenet-Serret formulas
Let . Since both and are invertible on , the formula
defines a regular map .
Fix . To solve , set
The curve equation becomes
This is a nonconstant polynomial, so it has a root because is algebraically closed. At a root, neither nor can vanish, and the equation also forces . The displayed value of is therefore defined and nonzero, satisfies , and obeys . Thus is surjective.
A derivation of centred at the -point is a -linear map satisfying the twisted Leibniz rule
The Zariski tangent space is
Since , extends uniquely to the localization by . Restriction gives a linear map
Conversely, every has the unique extension
The quotient rule verifies the Leibniz identity, and the assumption that is not a zero divisor makes the localization representation compatible with equality of fractions. Extension and restriction are inverse, so the natural map is an isomorphism.
View infinity as the puncture of the Riemann sphere and consider near . If this map had an essential singularity, the Great Picard theorem in a coordinate chart would make almost every nearby value occur infinitely often, contradicting the injectivity of . The singularity is therefore removable as a map into the compact Riemann surface , and extends to a nonconstant holomorphic map
The extension is injective. A collision between and , or local degree greater than one at infinity, would give nearby values two distinct preimages by the local normal form of a nonconstant holomorphic map, again contradicting injectivity on . Thus is a holomorphic bijection between compact Riemann surfaces and hence a biholomorphism. Therefore , whose genus is zero.
The map is bounded by one near the puncture, so the Riemann removable singularity theorem extends it holomorphically to a map . The maximum modulus principle shows that its image still lies in : if , the extension would be constant, contradicting its values in unless that constant also had modulus less than one.
If is biholomorphic, its inverse also extends holomorphically. Were , continuity of and the identity on the punctured disk would give . This is impossible because and takes values in the punctured disk. Hence
For , sum the geometric series and its derivative:
Therefore
This rational continuation is holomorphic across every point of the unit circle except , where it has a double pole. The set of singular points is consequently
Here “covering map” uses the course convention of a local homeomorphism; “regular” adds the evenly-covered product condition. The derivative of is , which never vanishes on the upper half-plane . The holomorphic inverse function theorem therefore makes a local biholomorphism and hence a covering map in this sense.
It is not regular. The point has only the preimage in , whereas for small positive has the two preimages with arguments and . Thus the fibre cardinality is not locally constant near , so no neighbourhood of has a preimage of the form for a fixed discrete set .
For , the functions satisfy , so the sequence converges uniformly to zero. Its closure is the sequence together with its limit and is compact. The same argument applies to , since . Thus and are relatively compact.
The family is not equicontinuous. At its members vanish, but for ,
By the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem, a relatively compact subset of must be equicontinuous. Hence is not relatively compact.
Every function with the stated two linear pieces can be written
for suitable real constants . Since
define
This is a polynomial. The argument of lies in , so
The real Stone-Weierstrass theorem states that if is a compact Hausdorff space and is a subalgebra containing the constants and separating points of , then is dense in in the uniform norm.
The Tietze extension theorem states that if is a normal topological space, is closed, and is continuous, then extends to a continuous function on . In its bounded form, an taking values in has an extension with the same range bound. The underlying separation step is the Urysohn lemma.
Writing the square coordinates modulo one, the curve has the parametrization
It is therefore the torus knot, or trefoil, on the common boundary of the two solid tori. Applying the Seifert-van Kampen theorem to the complements on the two sides gives one generator for the meridian of one solid torus and one generator for the other; the boundary slope identifies two turns of the first with three turns of the second. Hence
This group is nonabelian: imposing the additional relation gives a quotient
which maps onto the nonabelian group by sending to a transposition and to a three-cycle. An abelian group cannot have a nonabelian quotient.
Regard the 3-sphere as
It is the union of the two closed solid tori
Explicit homeomorphisms from the two copies in the question are
and
On their boundaries both maps send to . They therefore descend through the quotient to a continuous bijection . Since is compact and is Hausdorff, this bijection is a homeomorphism.
Here , , and , so the Minkowski bound for ideal classes is
Every ideal class therefore has a representative of norm at most four. Such classes are generated by the prime ideals above and . Put
in additive notation. Since conjugate prime ideals represent inverse classes, the two principal-ideal factorizations from part (b) give
Thus and , so the class group is generated by and has order dividing five.
It is not trivial. If were principal, there would be an element of norm two, but
cannot equal two for integers . Therefore . Since five is prime,
The element satisfies
Modulo both and , this polynomial factors as . Hence
and
where the respective ideal norms are .
Now , and lies in and but not in their conjugate primes. Similarly , while lies in and . Comparing norms gives
If has degree and discriminant , then every class in the ideal class group contains a nonzero integral ideal satisfying the Minkowski bound for ideal classes
Let be the character of the regular representation. It has and vanishes away from the identity. The multiplicity of an irreducible character in it is
Thus the regular representation decomposes as . Comparing dimensions gives
