A stereographic manipulation (part 2)

Algebra Level pending

First, do have a look at the first part .

Continuing where we left off, we found our two stereographic projections, f f and f f' which cover the whole of our circle S 1 S^1 We can think of f f as a mappings of the form : f 1 : U 1 U 1 f_{1} : U_1 \rightarrow \overline{U}_1 where U 1 S 1 \ ( 0 , 1 ) R U_1 \subseteq S^1 \backslash (0,1) \subseteq \mathbb{R} and U 1 R \overline{U}_1 \subseteq \mathbb{R}

and similarly for f f' : f 2 : U 2 U 2 f_{2} : U_2 \rightarrow \overline{U}_2 where U 2 S 1 \ ( 0 , 1 ) R U_2 \subseteq S^1 \backslash (0,-1) \subseteq \mathbb{R} and U 2 R \overline{U}_2 \subseteq \mathbb{R}

First, convince yourself that these two functions are bijections!

Now, let 0 x U 2 0 \neq \overline{x} \in \overline{U}_2 . How does x \overline{x} look like in U 1 \overline{U}_1 ,i.e. to what element in U 1 \overline{U}_1 does x \overline{x} corresponds to?

Hint : Find the point ( x , y ) S 1 \ { ( 0 , 1 ) ; ( 0 , 1 ) } (x,y) \in S^1 \backslash \{ (0,1) ; (0,-1) \} such that f 2 ( x , y ) = x f_2(x,y) = \overline{x} and then project this point in U 1 \overline{U}_1 via the function f 1 f_1

π x \frac{\pi}{\overline{x}} 1 x 1 x \frac{\overline{x}-1}{\overline{x}} x + 1 x \frac{\overline{x}+1}{\overline{x}} 1 x \frac{1}{\overline{x}}
