Ja n 20 07 THE UNIVERSAL COVER OF 3 - MANIFOLDS BUILT FROM INJECTIVE HANDLEBODIES IS
نویسنده
چکیده
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 manifolds.

متن کاملThe Word Problem for 3-manifolds Built from Injective Handlebodies
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.
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...

Let M be a closed non-positively curved Riemannian (NPCR) mani-fold, ˜ M its universal cover, and X an ultralimit of˜M. For γ ⊂ ˜ M a geodesic, let γ ω be a geodesic in X obtained as an ultralimit of γ. We show that if γ ω is contained in a flat in X, then the original geodesic γ supports a non-trivial, normal, parallel Jacobi field. In particular, the rank of a geodesic can be detected from th...
متن کاملImmersed and virtually embedded π1-injective surfaces in graph manifolds
We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no immersed 1 -injective surface of negative Euler characteristic. We also determine the class of closed graph manifolds which have no nite cover containing an embe...
