On 2-Convex Non-Orientable Surfaces in Four-Dimensional Euclidean Space

We prove that a 2-convex closed surface $S\subset E^4$ in the four-dimensional Euclidean space $E^4$, which is either $C^2$-smooth or polyhedral, provided that each vertex is incident to at most five edges, admits a mapping of degree one to a two-dimensional torus, where the degree is assumed to be$...

Description
Summary:We prove that a 2-convex closed surface $S\subset E^4$ in the four-dimensional Euclidean space $E^4$, which is either $C^2$-smooth or polyhedral, provided that each vertex is incident to at most five edges, admits a mapping of degree one to a two-dimensional torus, where the degree is assumed to be$\mod 2$ if $S$ is non-orientable. As a corollary, we show that the projective plane and the Klein bottle do not admit such a 2-convex embedding in $E^4$. Mathematical Subject Classification 2020: 53A05, 57R19
