Doodles and Blobs on a Ruled Page: Convex Quasi-envelops of Traversing Flows on Surfaces by Katz, Gabriel

“…In the case of oriented doodles on $$A= {\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ A = R × I , our computations of 2-moderate immersion bordisms $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) are near complete: we show that they can be described by an exact sequence of abelian groups $$\begin{aligned} 0 \rightarrow {\textbf{K}} \rightarrow \textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)\big /\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) {\mathop {\longrightarrow }\limits ^{{\mathcal {I}} \rho }} {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}} \rightarrow 0, \end{aligned}$$ 0 → K → OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) / OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ⟶ I ρ Z × Z → 0 , where $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) \approx {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}}$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ≈ Z × Z , the epimorphism $${\mathcal {I}} \rho $$ I ρ counts different types of crossings of immersed doodles, and the kernel $${\textbf{K}}$$ K contains the group $$({\mathbb {Z}})^\infty $$ ( Z ) ∞ whose generators are described explicitly.…”
