Irrational cable on a torus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Irrational winding of a torus In topology, a branch of mathematics, an irrational winding of a torus is a continuous injection of a line into a torus that is used to set up several counterexamples. A related notion is the Kronecker foliation of a torus, a foliation formed by the set of all translates of a given irrational winding. == Definition == One way of constructing a torus is as the quotient space of a two-dimensional real vector space by the additive subgroup of integer vectors, with the corresponding projection . Each point in the torus has as its preimage one of the translates of the square lattice in , and factors through a map that takes any point in the plane to a point in the unit square given by the fractional parts of the original point's Cartesian coordinates. Now consider a line in given by the equation ''y = kx''. If the slope ''k'' of the line is rational, then it can be represented by a fraction and a corresponding lattice point of . It can be shown that then the projection of this line is a simple closed curve on a torus. If, however, ''k'' is irrational, then it will not cross any lattice points except 0, which means that its projection on the torus will not be a closed curve, and the restriction of on this line is injective. Moreover, it can be shown that the image of this restricted projection as a subspace, called the irrational winding of a torus, is dense in the torus.
