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

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...

Maximal actions of finite 2-groups on ℤ₂-homology 3-spheres

Mattia Mecchia (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is known that a finite 2-group acting on a ℤ₂-homology 3-sphere has at most ten conjugacy classes of involutions; the action of groups with the maximal number of conjugacy classes of involutions is strictly related to some questions concerning the representation of hyperbolic 3-manifolds as 2-fold branched coverings of knots. Using a low-dimensional approach we classify these maximal actions both from an algebraic and from a geometrical point of view.
