I sure would like to see animation of this over the Riemann sphere: Take two Riemann spheres corresponing to the two branches of sqrt showing the two branch cuts on each. Now: open up the branch cuts, stretch them into necks, join the necks, form the double flask, double neck, transform this into a donut, indent the donut into a coffee mug. Would make a nice addition to the Wolfram demonstration project.
I can only get as far as using ContourPlot3D with the two holes in the sphere:
r2 = ContourPlot3D[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 2, {x, -2, 2},
{y, -2, 2}, {z, -2, 2}, RegionFunction ->
Function[{x, y, z}, (x - 0.2)^2 + (y - 0.2)^2 > 0.05 &&
(x - 0.7)^2 + (y - 0.7)^2 > 0.05],
BoundaryStyle -> Directive[Red, Thick], Boxed -> False,
Axes -> None]
Anyone know of this being done or how one might do this?
Thanks,
Chuck
