Gems, Computers and Attractors for 3-Manifolds
SÓSTENES LUIS SOARES LINS · Series on knots and everything · 1995
Part 1 Basic theory: E-graphs - special cell-decomposition of 2-manifolds crystallizations - the Ferri-Gagliardi moves diagrams of E-graphs and Ferri's switching lemma. Part 2 Generating surgery moves: quadricolours, hinges, commuters relations among the generating moves connections with Lickorish's construction. Part 3 Invariants: the fundamental and the homology groups the vertex group ... is there something new here? linking invariants. Part 4 Classes of 3-gems: the planar class and lens spaces gists - special symmetries on 3-manifolds. Part 5 Theory for a catalogue of 3-gems: shortcuts for inserting the 4th colour the TS-moves and the U-move. Appendices: all 3-gems up to 28 vertices. (Part Contents).
