Jacob's ladder surface
Infinite mathematical manifold / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, Jacob's ladder is a surface with infinite genus and two ends. It was named after Jacob's ladder by Étienne Ghys (1995, Théorème A), because the surface can be constructed as the boundary of a ladder that is infinitely long in both directions.
