In [[mathematics]], a connected [[submanifold]] of a compact [[manifold with boundary]] is said to be '''boundary parallel''', '''∂-parallel''', or '''peripheral''' if it can be continuously deformed into a boundary component. This notion is important for [[3-manifold]] topology.

Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In mathematics, a connected submanifold of a compact manifold with boundary is said to be boundary parallel, ∂-parallel, or peripheral if it can be continuously deformed into a boundary component. This notion is important for 3-manifold topology.

Boundary-parallel embedded surfaces in 3-manifolds

If F is an orientable closed surface smoothly embedded in the interior of an manifold with boundary M then it is said to be boundary parallel if a connected component of MF is homeomorphic to F[0,1[.[1]

In general, if (F,F) is a topologically embedded compact surface in a compact 3-manifold (M,M) some more care is needed:Template:Sfn one needs to assume that F admits a bicollar,[2] and then F is boundary parallel if there exists a subset PM such that F is the frontier of P in M and P is homeomorphic to F×[0,1].

  2. That is there exists a neighbourhood of F in M which is homeomorphic to F×]1,1[ (plus the obvious boundary condition), which if F is either orientable or 2-sided in M is in practice always the case.
