What is the space by identifying the antipodal points of a cylinder?

$begingroup$


Define the equivalence relation for a cylinder $S^1times [-1,1]subset mathbb{R}^3$ as $(x,y,z) sim (-x,-y,-z)$. We know that identifying antipodal points of $S^2$ or of the boundary of the disk $D^1$ gives projective plane $mathbb{RP}^2$, I wonder if there a simple surface for identifying the antipodal points of a cylinder? Is it $mathbb{RP}^2$?

    I would say your surface is related to the Klein bottle but I'm not sure at all.

Let $S^1 = { z in mathbb{C} = mathbb{R}^2 mid lvert z rvert = 1 }$. Define $q : S^1 to S^1, q(z) = z^2$. Let $C(q)$ denote the mapping cylinder of $q$ which is the quotient space obtained from the disjoint union $S^1 times [0,1] + S^1$ with respect to the equivalence relation generated by $(z,0) sim q(z)$. Let $r : S^1 times [0,1] + S^1 to C(q)$ denote the quotient map. Note that $rho = r mid_{S^1 times [0,1]}$ is surjective because $q$ is surjective.



Define $phi : S^1 times [-1,0] to S^1 times [0,1], phi(z,t) = -(z,t)$. Then $rho(z,0) = rho(phi(z,0))$ because $(z,0) sim z^2 = (-z)^2 sim (-z,0) = phi(z,0)$. Next define
$$f : S^1 times [-1,1] to C(q), f(z,t) =
begin{cases}
rho(z,t) & t ge 0 \
rho(phi(z,t)) & t le 0
end{cases}
$$

This is a continuous surjection (note that both parts of the defnition agree on $S^1 times [0,1] cap S^1 times [-1,0] = S^1 times { 0 }$).



We have $f(z,t) = f(w,s)$ if and only if $(w,s) = pm(z,t)$. The "if"-part is trivial. So let $f(z,t) = f(w,s)$. If $s = 0$, we must have $t = 0$ and $z^2 = w^2$, i.e. $w = pm z$. If $s ne 0$, we must have $t = epsilon s$ with $epsilon = pm 1$. But then clearly $w = epsilon z$.



Hence $S^1 times [-1,1]/sim$ is homeomorphic to $C(q)$. The latter is homotopy equivalent to $S^1$.



Note that the space $C(q)$ is homeomorphic to $mathbb{RP}^2 setminus O$ where $O$ is an open disk in $mathbb{RP}^2$.

    Here is another answer. Let $S = S^1 times [-1,1] cup D^2 times { -1, 1 }$. There is a homeomorphism $h : S to S^2$ such that $h circ a = a circ h$, where $a$ denotes the antipodal map both on $S$ and $S^2$. Hence $S/ sim$, where $xi sim a(xi)$, is homeomorphic to $mathbb{RP}^2$. Let $p : S to R = S/sim$ denote the quotient map and $U = mathring{D} times { -1, 1 }$. Then $O = p(U)$ is an open disk in $R$ and $p$ restricts to a quotient map $p ' : S^1 times[-1,1] = S setminus U to R setminus O$.
