On the genus of RP3 x S1.
Define for a smooth compact hypersurface of its crumpleness as the ratio , where is the distance from to its central set. (In other words, is the maximal radius of an open non-selfintersecting tube around in We prove that any -dimensional non-singular compact algebraic hypersurface of degree is rigidly isotopic to an algebraic hypersurface of degree and of crumpleness . Here , depend only on , and rigid isotopy means an isotopy passing only through hypersurfaces of degree...
Let be an oriented cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold and let be a topological ideal triangulation of . We give a characterization for to be isotopic to an ideal geodesic triangulation; moreover we give a characterization for to flatten into a partially flat triangulation. Finally we prove that straightening combinatorially equivalent topological ideal cell decompositions gives the same geodesic decomposition, up to isometry.
In this work, we prove that every closed, orientable 3-manifold M3 which is a two-fold covering of S3 branched over a link, has type six.
