Paper Moebius bands with T Patterns

Abstract

This paper gives another proof of the key lemma in my recent paper which solves the optimal paper Moebius band conjecture of Halpern and Weaver, namely Lemma T. The proof here is longer but it offers more geometric intuition about what is going on.

This paper is entirely superseded by my newer paper, arXiv:2308.12641. Now that I have thought a lot about the T-pattern lemma proved in this paper, I think that the long proof here is not worth reading
