Talk:Pair of pants (mathematics)

Thurston pants?
I've never heard this used. Can the person that added it provide a citation so I can see somebody out there actually does use it? --C S (Talk) 23:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

LOL
lol, not what I expected when I typed pair of pants into my wiki search bar--Cookamunga 00:21, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Thurston popularized term "pair of pants"?
Someone has added a reference in response to my citation needed request, showing that Thurston used it by at least the late 1970s. However, this misses the point entirely of my original request, as I was certainly aware of its use by Thurston in his notes. I can personally find it very plausible he had something to do with the term becoming popular, as the term does not appear (to me) to have become widespread until the early 1980s, and given the general influence of his lecture notes. However, this is not clear cut evidence and in fact, for me to gather more evidence trying to prove the assertion, I believe, would come close to violating, if not doing so, WP:NOR. What is needed is a citation asserting the claim "Thurston popularized the term 'pair of pants'". That is what is required for Verifiability. --C S (Talk) 08:07, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm removing the claim, as no support for it has appeared. --C S (Talk) 00:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Clarification needed
It says that the once- and twice-punctured sphere don't admit hyperbolic metrics, which is of course not true. The once-punctured sphere is homeomorphic to the disk, which does admit a hyperbolic metric. A twice-punctured sphere is an annulus; again, I can certainly realize an annulus as a subset of the disk, so I can put a hyperbolic metric on an annulus. What _is_ true is that I can't put a hyperbolic metric on the once- or twice-punctured sphere that's both complete and has finite area. This contrasts with the three-punctured sphere, on which I can put a complete hyperbolic metric with area 2pi. Kier07 (talk) 17:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Dudas estúpidas que necesito que me respondan
Pueden cambiar el artículo a dos agujeros quisiera ganar una discusión, aparte como que 3 agujeros El profesor Layton estaría muy decepcionado de ello, bueno en si es interesante y al ser un carajito de 18 quisiera saber dónde empieza un agujero y dónde termina 201.174.113.142 (talk) 16:12, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
