[Math] 1-dimensional and n-dimensional torus

Question

Question:

Define the n-dimensional torus $T^{n}$ for n $\in \mathbb{Z}$.
What is $T^{1}$ better known as?

Recalling the definition of a 2-dimensional torus,
the n-dimensional torus $T^{n}$ is the quotient space obtained from $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ by the relation x~y IFF $x-y \in \mathbb{Z}^{n}$.
A 2-dimensional torus, is formed by gluing $\left [ 0,1 \right ] \times \left [ 0,1 \right ]$.
A 1-dimensional torus certainly requires only $\left [ 0,1 \right ]$.
Is it a circle?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

By common definition, we have: $$T^n = \underbrace{S^1 \times S^1 \times \dots \times S^1}_{n-\text{times}}$$ So, $$T^1 = S^1,$$ the one-sphere; you are correct.
