Show that any triangulation of a compact Riemann surface is orientable.


Hint. Since one can take suitable refinements, there is no loss of generality


in assuming that the union of two triangles with a joint edge is contained in the


domain of definition of an analytic chart. Define the orientation of a triangle in


such a way that the winding numbers with respect to the analytic chart around


inner points are +1. This possible because of the result of Exercise 3. It follows


from the result of Exercise 2 that this orientation is independent of the choice of


the analytic chart. Applying the result of Exercise 2 once more, we can see that


an orientation of the triangulation is obtained.
