Solid Klein bottle explained

In mathematics, a solid Klein bottle is a three-dimensional topological space (a 3-manifold) whose boundary is the Klein bottle.[1]

\scriptstyleD2 x I

to the bottom disk by a reflection across a diameter of the disk.

\scriptstyleM\ddot{o} x I

, of the möbius strip and an interval

\scriptstyleI=[0,1]

. In this model one can see that the core central curve at 1/2 has a regular neighborhood which is again a trivial cartesian product:

\scriptstyleM\ddot{o} x [

1-\varepsilon,
2

+\varepsilon]

and whose boundary is a Klein bottle.
