Cell complex structure of real projective plane












0












$begingroup$


A Cell Complex structure of $RP^2$, the real protective plane, is $e^0∪e^1∪e^2$. But I am unable to find this cell complex structure for $RP^2$ from iterative method: What should be the set $X^0$ and then how the set $X^1$ will look like ? Anybody please.

          $RP^2$ is the quotient space obtained from $S^2$ by identifying antipodal points $x,-x$. Let $p : S^2 to RP^2$ denote the quotient map. Now let us give $S^2$ the following CW-structure:



          Two $0$-cells $d^0_pm = { (pm 1,0,0) }$.



          Two open $1$-cells $d^1_pm = { (x,y,0) mid x^2 + y^2 = 1, (-1)^{pm 1} y > 0 }$.



          Two open $2$-cells $d^2_pm = { (x,y,z) mid x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1, (-1)^{pm 1} z > 0 }$.



          Attaching maps for $d^1_pm$ are $phi^1_pm : D^1 to S^2, phi^1_pm(x) = pm (sin(pi(x+1)/2), cos((pi(x+1)/2),0)$ and those for $d^2_pm$ are $phi^2_pm : D^2 to S^2, phi^2_pm (x,y) = pm (x,y, sqrt{1- x^2 - y^2})$.



          For $i = 0,1,2$ we have $p(d^i_+) = p(d^i_-) =: e^i$. Obviously $p$ maps both $d^i_pm$ hoemomorphically onto $e^i$. Now by construction $e^0,e^1,e^2$ form an open cell decomposition of $RP^2$. Attaching maps $psi^i$ are induced by those of the cells of $S^2$, i.e. we have $psi^i = pphi^i_pm$.
