is topologically equivalent to a circle. Thinking of points of as unit-norm complex numbers up to sign, the diffeomorphism is given by . Geometrically, a line in is parameterized by an angle and the endpoints of this closed interval correspond to the same line.
* is called the real projective plane. This space cannot be embedded in . It can however be embedded in and can be immersed
