The map descends to an injective immersion from R×(R/Z) into the three-dimensional torus. Injectivity follows because an integer difference in s with an integer difference in αs must be zero. Its image is dense by an irrational rotation of the circle, and is tangent to the commuting independent fields ∂x​+α∂z​ and ∂y​. 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.
