Why $mathbb R^2/ mathbb Z^2$ is the Torus ? The Torus is indeed $mathbb R/mathbb Ztimes mathbb R/mathbb Z$. But why $mathbb R^2/mathbb Z^2$ also gives the torus ? For me if we glue all points of $mathbb Z^2$ together, then $mathbb R^2/mathbb Z^2$ should look as a sphere and not as a Torus ? Also, for me $L^1(mathbb S^2)$ is the set of integrable periodic functions on $mathbb R^2$. But in my course they wrote it as $L^1(mathbb T^2)$ (the torus in $mathbb R^3$). For me $L^1(mathbb T^2)$ is the set of function $f$ s.t. $xmapsto f(x,y )$ is $T_1$ periodic and $ymapsto f(x,y)$ is $T_2$ periodic, but there is no reason to have $f$ periodic.

    Think of the function $p:Bbb{R}^2toBbb{R}/Bbb{Z}timesBbb{R}/Bbb{Z}$ defined by $$p(x,y)=(x+Bbb{Z},y+Bbb{Z}).$$ You should convince yourself of the fact that $p(x_1,y_1)=p(x_2,y_2)$ if and only if $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ belong to the same coset of $Bbb{Z}^2$. In other words, by the first isomorphism theorem, we have an isomorphism of groups $$Bbb{R}^2/Bbb{Z}^2simeq Bbb{R}/Bbb{Z}timesBbb{R}/Bbb{Z}.$$ Because this bijection is so natural, it is bound to be a homeomorphism also.

    A topological connection between the sphere and the plane comes from the stereographic projection (when you need to add a point at infinity not to miss the North pole). But, observe that in that projection there are no identifications between the points of the plane.

    Or, if you start with a rectangle, you get the torus by identifying (=glueing) the pairs of points on opposite sides. You get the sphere only by identifying all the points of the border to form a single point on the sphere.
