   The purpose of this paper is to give a combinatorial characterization and also construct representations of the fundamental group of the submanifolds of elastic Klein Bottle by using some geometrical transformations. The homotopy groups of the limit elastic Klein Bottle are presented. The fundamental groups of some types of geodesics in elastic Klein Bottle are discussed. New types of homotopy maps are deduced. Theorems governing this connection are achieved.

Introduction and Definitions</title><p>In vector spaces and linear maps; topological spaces and continuous maps; groups and homomorphisms together with the distinguished family of maps is referred to as a category. An operator which assigns to every object in one category a corresponding object in another category and to every map in the first a map in the second in such a way that compositions are preserved and the identity map is taken to the identity map is called a functor. Thus, we may summarize our activities thus far by saying that we have constructed a functor (the fundamental group functor) from the category of pointed spaces and maps to the category of groups and homomorphisms. Such functors are the vehicles by which one translates topological problems into algebraic problem El-Ahmady [1-3].</p><p>Most folding problems are attractive from a pure mathematical standpoint, for the beauty of the problems themselves. The folding problems have close connections to important industrial applications Linkage folding has applications in robotics and hydraulic tube bending. Paper folding has application in sheet-metal bending, packaging, and air-bag folding. Following the great Soviet geometer, also, used folding to solve difficult problems related to shell structures in civil engineering and aero space design, namely buckling instability El-Ahmady [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref4">4</xref>]. Isometric folding between two Riemannian manifold may be characterized as maps that send piecewise geodesic segments to a piecewise geodesic segments of the same length El-Ahmady [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref5">5</xref>]. For a topological folding the maps do not preserves lengths ElAhmady [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref6">6</xref>] and [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref7">7</xref>]. i.e. A map<img src="12-7401316\44941d3a-550e-4b10-885a-77fc460ec8f1.jpg" />, where <img src="12-7401316\ee62deca-e07a-43ee-b41d-8d3f65ef378d.jpg" /> and N are <img src="12-7401316\718416e5-153b-4ad2-9bb5-c851b8792217.jpg" />-Riemannian manifolds of dimension m and n respectively is said to be an isometric folding of M into N, iff for any piecewise geodesic path<img src="12-7401316\700c805c-348d-47b1-bd49-24a94cefdad7.jpg" />, the induced path <img src="12-7401316\0f03a0a6-c374-430c-8a66-7d7625f4a36e.jpg" /> is a piecewise geodesic and of the same length as<img src="12-7401316\4d4f27bf-f58b-4f6d-afa0-edc5ec62b1f2.jpg" />. If <img src="12-7401316\9d70ca89-de25-4675-8733-117eb6913705.jpg" /> does not preserve length, then <img src="12-7401316\8759749b-e480-420f-95d7-d4001008e797.jpg" />&#160;is a topological folding El-Ahmady [8, 9].</p><p>A subset A of a topological space X is called a retract of X if there exists a continuous map <img src="12-7401316\b0c450de-bd5e-46c5-9115-803b4c44c429.jpg" /> such that <img src="12-7401316\e3082bfb-b0e6-4c6f-bf37-481cfe03f354.jpg" /> where A is closed and X is open El-Ahmady [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref10">10</xref>] and [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref11">11</xref>]. Also, let X be a space and A a subspace. A map <img src="12-7401316\ff3ed1fe-7c2d-410c-904c-2d5f33516980.jpg" /> such that <img src="12-7401316\096ea715-4c8b-4b07-b122-b1ddf54fd3c5.jpg" />&#160;is called a retraction of X&#160;onto A&#160;and A&#160;is the called a retract of X El-Ahmady [12-19] Reid [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref20">20</xref>]. This can be re stated as follows. If <img src="12-7401316\027b77a1-3854-4b6d-8d37-a6b142ae22d1.jpg" /> is the inclusion map, then <img src="12-7401316\44f0769b-e14e-4108-a3ab-6ced178f873b.jpg" /> is a map such that<img src="12-7401316\12ec8378-f866-4711-805b-036365eafc42.jpg" />. If, in addition, <img src="12-7401316\cb798aaa-1b72-433b-aa7f-6944c02b0d6f.jpg" />, we call <img src="12-7401316\9e4e723d-2cd4-41ad-bf40-a0720038f1b2.jpg" /> a deformation retract and A&#160;a deformation retract of X Arkowitz [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.28860-ref21">21</xref>]. Another simple but extremely useful idea is that of a retract. If <img src="12-7401316\0ba5ab05-8213-49f2-bf62-791008fcfc6e.jpg" /> then<img src="12-7401316\8cfacba1-984c-446a-acb4-29eb06d54cff.jpg" /> is a retract of <img src="12-7401316\363d478c-020c-4407-b431-80b89e75bcb1.jpg" /> if <img src="12-7401316\8f07a9d7-c78a-4fea-877b-468d2eb16291.jpg" />.

Conclusion</title><p>In this paper we achieved the approval of the important of the fundamental groups in the submanifolds of elastic Klein bottle by using some geometrical transformations. The relations between foldings, retractions, deformation retracts, limits of foldings and limits of retraction of the fundamental groups in the submanifolds of elastic Klein bottle are discussed. The connection between limits of the folding and the fundamental groups are obtained. New types of minimial retractions on the fundamental groups are deduced.</p></sec><sec id="s4"><title>4.
