The genus-two classification conjecture for 3-manifolds almost in a trisection spine
The genus-two classification conjecture for 3-manifolds almost in a trisection spine
Let be a closed orientable -manifold that is not of the form , and let embed so as to almost lie in the spine of a genus- trisection of a -manifold . Genus-two classification conjecture. Then is a lens space , and is either or ; moreover, is when is even and when is odd. The preceding construction suggests that this is the only interesting possibility in genus ; no resolution is supplied.
