Homework Problems

· Identify the "orientation" double cover for a general non-orientable surface.
·
 
Suppose p:E --> M is a covering space, with E and M connected n-manifolds. If M is orientable, show that E is orientable, and that every covering transformation preserves orientation.
· Problems #2, 5 - 9, Hatcher page 257.
· Problems #16, 17, 24, 25, Hatcher page 259.

· Distinguish CP2 and S2(wedge) S4 preserves orientation.
· Distinguish CP3 and S2x S4 preserves orientation.
