Graph manifolds have virtually positive Seifert volume
This paper shows that the Seifert volume of each closed non-trivial graph manifold is virtually positive. As a consequence, for each closed orientable prime 3-manifold N , the set of mapping degrees D(M,N) is finite for any 3-manifold M , unless N is finitely covered by either a torus bundle, or a trivial circle bundle, or the 3-sphere.
متن کاملGraph manifolds with boundary are virtually special
Let M be a graph manifold. We prove that fundamental groups of embedded incompressible surfaces in M are separable in π1M , and that the double cosets for crossing surfaces are also separable. We deduce that if there is a ‘sufficient’ collection of surfaces in M , then π1M is virtually the fundamental group of a special non-positively curved cube complex. We provide a sufficient collection for ...
متن کاملClosed BLD-elliptic manifolds have virtually Abelian fundamental groups
We show that a closed, connected, oriented, Riemannian n-manifold, admitting a branched cover of bounded length distortion from R, has a virtually Abelian fundamental group.
متن کاملImmersed and virtually embedded π1-injective surfaces in graph manifolds
We show that many 3-manifold groups have no nonabelian surface subgroups. For example, any link of an isolated complex surface singularity has this property. In fact, we determine the exact class of closed graph-manifolds which have no immersed 1 -injective surface of negative Euler characteristic. We also determine the class of closed graph manifolds which have no nite cover containing an embe...
متن کاملSeifert Fibred Knot Manifolds
We consider the question of when is the closed manifold obtained by elementary surgery on an n-knot Seifert fibred over a 2-orbifold. After some observations on the classical case, we concentrate on the cases n = 2 and 3. We have found a new family of 2-knots with torsion-free, solvable group, overlooked in earlier work. We show also that there are no aspherical Seifert fibred 3-knot manifolds....
