Cyclic branched coverings and homology 3-spheres with large group actions

Bruno P. Zimmermann (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that, if the covering involution of a 3-manifold M occurring as the 2-fold branched covering of a knot in the 3-sphere is contained in a finite nonabelian simple group G of diffeomorphisms of M, then M is a homology 3-sphere and G isomorphic to the alternating or dodecahedral group 𝔸₅ ≅ PSL(2,5). An example of such a 3-manifold is the spherical Poincaré sphere. We construct hyperbolic analogues of the Poincaré sphere. We also give examples of hyperbolic ℤ₂-homology 3-spheres...

We study the homology of the fixed point set on a rational homology sphere under the action of a finite group.
