An explicit sphere eversion - 50 years after Smale's Theorem
by
J Scott Carter
University of South Alabama

The intricate details of an eversion that is related to the Froisart-Morin eversion are exposed via a variety of techniques. The Carter-Reiger-Saito movie-moves (excluding those that involve branch points) are used in a step-by-step process to give movies, charts, and the decket-sets of the eversion. The double-point set and the fold set of the viewing projection are calculated, and interesting eversion questions are asked.
