Dehn filling: A survey

C. Gordon (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

In this paper we give a brief survey of the present state of knowledge on exceptional Dehn fillings on 3-manifolds with torus boundary. For our discussion, it is necessary to first give a quick overview of what is presently known, and what is conjectured, about the structure of 3-manifolds. This is done in Section 2. In Section 3 we summarize the known bounds on the distances between various kinds of exceptional Dehn fillings, and compare these with the distances that arise in known...

Around the Borromean link.

José María Montesinos Amilibia (2008)

RACSAM

Similarity:

This is a survey of some consequences of the fact that the fundamental group of the orbifold with singular set the Borromean link and isotropy cyclic of order 4 is a universal kleinian group.

On manifold spines and cyclic presentations of groups

Alberto Cavicchioli, Friedrich Hegenbarth, Dušan Repovš (1998)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This is a survey of results and open problems on compact 3-manifolds which admit spines corresponding to cyclic presentations of groups. We also discuss questions concerning spines of knot manifolds and regular neighborhoods of homotopically PL embedded compacta in 3-manifolds.
