In mathematics, the y-homeomorphism, or crosscap slide, is a special type of auto-homeomorphism in non-orientable surfaces.
It can be constructed by sliding a Möbius strip included on the surface around an essential 1-sided closed curve until the original position; thus it is necessary that the surfaces have genus greater than one.
