2-sided

2-sided

In topology, a compact codimension one submanifold F of a manifold M is said to be 2-sided in M when there is an embedding ::hcolon F imes [-1,1] o M with h(x,0)=x for each xin F and ::h(F imes [-1,1] )cap partial M=h(partial F imes [-1,1] ).

This means, for example that a curve in a surface is 2-sided if it has a tubular neighborhood which is a cartesian product of the curve times an interval.

A curve which is not 2-sided is called 1-sided.
