3-manifold spines and bijoins.

Luigi Grasselli (1990)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

We describe a combinatorial algorithm for constructing all orientable 3-manifolds with a given standard bidimensional spine by making use of the idea of bijoin (Bandieri and Gagliardi (1982), Graselli (1985)) over a suitable pseudosimplicial triangulation of the spine.

An equivalence criterion for 3-manifolds.

M. R. Casali (1997)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

Within geometric topology of 3-manifolds (with or without boundary), a representation theory exists, which makes use of 4-coloured graphs. Aim of this paper is to translate the homeomorphism problem for the represented manifolds into an equivalence problem for 4-coloured graphs, by means of a finite number of graph-moves, called dipole moves. Moreover, interesting consequences are obtained, which are related with the same problem in the n-dimensional setting.
