Product space between circle and disk

380 Views Asked by At

What is the product space between the unit circle in the complex plane and the unit disk in the complex plane?

Isn't it a torus? That would be my intuitive answer if you would say the product space between the unit circle and the unit disk in $\mathbb{R}^2$, but there is no three dimensional complex space is there?

Thanks

The product of two circles is a torus: $T^2 = S^1 \times S^1$ (embedded in 4-dimensional space).

The product of a circle and a disk is a solid torus (embedded in 4-dimensional space). The torus $T^2$ is this solid torus' surface.
