Three-manifolds, virtual homology, and group determinants

Daryl Cooper and Genevieve S Walsh

Geometry & Topology 10 (2006) 2247–2269

Abstract

We apply representation theory to study the homology of equivariant Dehn-fillings of a given finite, regular cover of a compact 3–manifold with boundary a torus. This yields a polynomial which gives the rank of the part of the homology carried by the solid tori used for Dehn-filling. The polynomial is a symmetrized form of the group determinant studied by Frobenius and Dedekind. As a corollary every such hyperbolic 3–manifold has infinitely many virtually Haken Dehn-fillings.
