What is the one-point compactification of the Loch Ness Monster?

258 Views Asked by At

The Loch Ness Monster surface is the noncompact orientable surface with one end accumulated by genus. If we take the one-point compactification of this surface we get some surface with finite genus by the classification. and get a manifold, it would have finite genus by the classification. This seems a little absurd.

What is the one-point compactification of the Loch Ness Monster, and in general, is there any intuition behind determining compactifications of surfaces with infinite genus?

This space (the one-point compactification) is not homeomorphic to any of the "standard" spaces you encounter in your topology classes (in particular, it is not a surface). Just call it "the one-point compactification of the Loch Ness Monster" (OPCOLNM), if you are looking for a nice name. As for the intuition of such spaces, I do not know what to say, there is none as far as I know. You may want to read some papers on the classification of noncompact surfaces, which uses compactifications to classify these. See my answer here for a reference and some discussion where I describe the "end compactification" in concrete terms.
