Abstract

top
An orbifold is a topological space which ?locally looks like? the orbit space of a properly discontinuous group action on a manifold. After a brief review of basic concepts, we consider the special case 3-dimensional orbifolds of the form GammaM, where M is a simply-connected 3-dimensional homogeneous space corresponding to one of Thurston?s eight geometries, and where Gamma < Isom(M) acts properly discontinuously. A general description of these geometric orbifolds is given and the closed oriented geometric 3-orbifolds with S3 as their underlying topological space are enumerated (except for hyperbolic orbifolds).
