P2-irreducible manifold
Appearance
(Redirected from P²-irreducible)
In mathematics, a P2-irreducible manifold is a 3-manifold that is irreducible and contains no 2-sided (real projective plane). An orientable manifold is P2-irreducible if and only if it is irreducible.[1] Every non-orientable P2-irreducible manifold is a Haken manifold.[2]
