    This is mathematical art! You should display these as a sculptural art piece, and when people ask what it means, you can blow their minds by pointing at the last one in the sequence and saying, "This one with the handles is exactly/technically the same as," -points to the first one in the sequence- "this one"! Then you can go into this explanation to both blow their minds even more as well as educating them!

      This is my best proof about Flt
      Define
      Sx=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+x^2.=x(x+1)(2x+1)/6=(2x^3+3x^2+x)/6
      Sy=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+y^2=y(y+1)(2y+1)/6=(2y^3+3y^2+y)/6
      Sz=1+2^2+3^2+4^2+....+z^2=z(z+1)(2z+1)/6=(2z^3+3z^2+z)/6
      So
      2x^3=6Sx-3x^2-x
      2y^3=6Sy-3y^2-y
      2z^3=6Sz-3z^2-z
      so
      x^3=3Sx-3/2x^2-x/2
      y^3=3Sy-3/2y^2 - y/2
      z^3=3Sz -3/2z^2-z/2
      supose
      x^3+y^3=z^3
      3Sx-3/2x^2-x/2+3Sy-3/2y^2 - y/2 - (3Sz -3/2z^2-z/2)=0
      or
      2Sx-x^2-x/3+2Sy-y^2 - y/3 - (2Sz -z^2-z/3)=0
      or
      2Sx+2Sy-2Sz-(x^2+y^2-z^2) =(x/3+y/3-z/3)
      So
      Sx+S(x-1)+Sy+S(y-1)-Sz-S(z-1)=(x+y-z)/3
      So
      (x+y-z)^2=[3Sx+3Sy+Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2
      because
      (x+y)^2=x^2+y^2+2xy
      (x+y-z)^2=(x+y)^2+z^2-2z(x+y)=x^2+y^2+2xy+z^2-2z(x+y=x^2+y^2-z^2+2xy-2z(x+y )+3z^2
      So
      (x^2+y^2 - z^2)=(x+y-z)^2+2xy-2z(x+y )+3z^2=[3Sx+3Sy+Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2+(2xy-2zx-2zy )+3z^2
      And
      (x^2+y^2-z^2)=(2Sx+2Sy-2Sz)-(x+y-z)/3
      So
      [3Sx+3Sy+Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2+(2xy-2zx-2zy )+3z^2=(2Sx+2Sy-2Sz)-(x+y-z)/3
      So
      (2xy-2zx-2zy )=(2Sx+2Sy-2Sz) - [3Sx+3Sy+Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2-(x+y-z)/3
      Named
      (2Sx+2Sy-2Sz) - [3Sx+3Sy+Sy+3S(y-1)-3Sz-3S(z-1)]^2 is a
      Note a is an integer.
      So
      (2xy-2zx-2zy )=a-(x+y-z)/3
      So
      6xy=[3a-(x+y-z)+6zx+6zy.]
      So
      x=[3a-(x+y-z)+6zx+6zy.]/6y
      Because x is integer so
      [3a-(x+y-z)+6zx+6zy.]=K6y
      This is the first condition that to be added
      And
      6zx=6xy+-2zy - 3a-+x+y-z
      So
      x=[6xy+-2zy - 3a-+x+y-z]/6z
      This is second condition that to be added
      And
      6zy=6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z
      So
      y=[6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]/6z
      Thie is third condition that to be added
      And
      z=[6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]/6y
      This is fourth condition to be added
      Total have 4 conditions that to be added
      6zx=6xy+-2zy - 3a-+x+y-z
      x=[6xy+-2zy - 3a-+x+y-z]/6z
      y=[6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]/6z
      z=[6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]/6y
      [3a-(x+y-z)+6zx+6zy.]=K6y
      [6xy+-2zy - 3a-+x+y-z]=h6z
      [6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]=g6z
      [6xy-6zx-3a+x+y-z]=f6y
      Attention! they are different
      With 4 conditions added It will definitely hinder the problem solving.

    I neglected to mention that these glass models are not just homeomorphic to each other, they are also isotopic to each other. Isotopic is a strong property than homeomorphic: Homeomorphic means that there's a mapping between them that preserves all their topological information. Isotopic goes further and demands a continuous deformation that is a homeomorphism at each step.

      @cliffstoll568 8 років тому +6

      [repeated from elsewhere]
      Two objects that are homeomorphic but not Isotopic? Sure ...
      You usually make a Möbius band by giving a strip of paper a half twist, and taping their ends together ... the result has one edge, one side, one hole, and is non-orientable. If you give the strip of paper three half twists ( = 3/2 twists), the result has the same properties: one side, one hole, and non-orientable.
      So these two things (the 1/2 twist Möbloop and the 3/2 twist Möbloop) are homeomorphic to each other -- they have the same topological properties. However, they are not isotopic to each other ... you can't continuous deform a 1/2 twist Möbloop into a 1 1/2 twist Möbloop. (You gotta cut the 1/2 twist guy, add a full twist, and tape it back together).

    • @henrikljungstrand2036
      @henrikljungstrand2036 3 роки тому +1

      @@TyneMint Yeah kind of. The important answer is that all these three holed shapes are topologically "the same", because they are homeomorphic. For 2dim surfaces (bended in 3dim or 4dim space, higher surrounding space makes no difference), the number of handles and the orientability are the only topological variants for compact (finite) real manifolds, except when we have linked holes (like an external hole going through the center of an internal hole), which means there are several surfaces disconnected from each other. Linking is only relevant for 2dim manifolds embedded in 3dim space, because the holes/surfaces can always be unlinked in 4dim space.
      Topology is trickier for bended 3dim bodies/"surfaces" though, and it gets worse in higher dimensions.
      And non-compact manifolds are also different, especially if they have an infinite number of handles going through each other.
      Also there are topological spaces that are not real manifolds, and some that are not even chain complexes composed of real manifolds of different number of dimensions.
