Abstract

We study Euler classes in groups of homeomorphisms of Seifert-fibered $3$ –manifolds. In contrast to the familiar Euler class for ${Homeo}_{0} (S^{1})$ as a discrete group, we show that these Euler classes for ${Homeo}_{0} (M^{3})$ as a discrete group are unbounded classes. In fact, we give examples of flat topological $M$ –bundles over a genus $3$ surface whose Euler class takes arbitrary values.
