It is well known that a nonorientable manifold in a three-dimensional vector field is topologically equivalent to a Möbius strip. The most frequently used example is the unstable manifold of a periodic orbit that just lost its stability in a period-doubling bifurcation. However, there are not many explicit studies in the literature in the context of dynamical systems, and so far only qualitative sketches could be given as illustrations. We give an overview of the possible bifurcations in three-dimensional vector fields that create nonorientable manifolds. We mainly focus on nonorientable manifolds of periodic orbits, because they are the key building blocks. This is illustrated with invariant manifolds of three-dimensional vector fields that arise from applications. These manifolds were computed with a new algorithm for computing two-dimensional manifolds.

Abstract This work is based on the observation that the first Poincaré–Lyapunov constant is a quadratic function of the coefficients of the two-dimensional vector field at a Hopf bifurcation. From a given parameter point, we find the distance to the “Hopf quadric.” This distance provides a measure of the criticality of the Hopf bifurcation. The viability of the approach is demonstrated through numerical examples.
