The Word Problem for 3-manifolds Built from Injective Handlebodies
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives a proof that the fundamental group a class of closed orientable 3-manifolds constructed from three injective handlebodies has a solvable word problem. This is done by giving an algorithm, that terminates in bounded time, to decide if a closed curve in the manifold is null-homotopic.

This paper gives a proof that the universal cover of a closed 3-manifold built from three π1-injective handlebodies is homeomorphic to R. This construction is an extension to handlebodies of the conditions for gluing of three solid tori to produce non-Haken Seifert fibered manifolds with infinite fundamental group. This class of manifolds has been shown to contain non-Haken non-Seifert fibered ...
متن کامل3-manifolds Built from Injective Handlebodies
This paper looks at a class of closed orientable 3-manifolds constructed from a gluing of three handlebodies, such that the inclusion of each handlebody is π1-injective. This construction is the generalisation to handlebodies of the condition for gluing three solid tori to produce non-Haken Seifert fibered 3-manifolds with infinite fundamental group. It is shown that there is an efficient algor...
متن کاملAttaching handlebodies to 3–manifolds
The main theorem of this paper is a generalisation of well known results about Dehn surgery to the case of attaching handlebodies to a simple 3–manifold. The existence of a finite set of ‘exceptional’ curves on the boundary of the 3–manifold is established. Provided none of these curves is attached to the boundary of a disc in a handlebody, the resulting manifold is shown to be word hyperbolic ...
