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

“…Let A denote the cylinder $${\mathbb {R}} \times S^1$$ R × S 1 or the band $${\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ R × I , where I stands for the closed interval. We consider 2-moderate immersions of closed curves (“doodles”) and compact surfaces (“blobs”) in A, up to cobordisms that also are 2-moderate immersions in $$A \times [0, 1]$$ A × [ 0 , 1 ] of surfaces and solids. …”
