The Borsuk-Ulam property for homotopy classes of maps between the torus and the Klein bottle -- part 2

Published 8 Jul 2021 in math.GT | (2107.03682v1)

Abstract: Let $M$ be a topological space that admits a free involution $\tau$, and let $N$ be a topological space. A homotopy class $\beta \in [ M,N ]$ is said to have the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to $\tau$ if for every representative map $f: M \to N$ of $\beta$, there exists a point $x \in M$ such that $f(\tau(x))= f(x)$. In this paper, we determine the homotopy class of maps from the $2$-torus $T2$ to the Klein bottle $K2$ that possess the Borsuk-Ulam property with respect to any free involution of $T2$ for which the orbit space is $K2$. Our results are given in terms of a certain family of homomorphisms involving the fundamental groups of $T2$ and $K2$. This completes the analysis of the Borsuk-Ulam problem for the case $M=T2$ and $N=K2$, and for any free involution $\tau$ of $T2$.
