The homeomorphism problem for closed $3$–manifolds

Peter Scott and Hamish Short

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 14 (2014) 2431–2444
Abstract

We give a geometric approach to an algorithm for deciding whether two hyperbolic 3–manifolds are homeomorphic. We also give an algebraic approach to the homeomorphism problem for geometric, but nonhyperbolic, 3–manifolds.

Keywords
hyperbolic manifolds, decision problems
