Idea

An (open) annulus is a topological space that is homeomorphic to the closed unit disk D 1 2D^2_1 with an disk-shaped open neighbourhood of the origin removed.

An often used model for the corresponding closed annulus is the subspace {(x,y)1x 2+y 24} 2\big\{(x,y)\mid 1\leq x^2 + y^2 \leq 4\big\} \subset \mathbb{R}^2, of the plane consisting of the point lying between a unit circle and a circle of radius 2, both centered on the origin.
