Remarks on the cohomology of finite fundamental groups of 3–manifolds

Satoshi Tomoda and Peter Zvengrowski

Geometry & Topology Monographs 14 (2008) 519–556

Abstract

Computations based on explicit 4–periodic resolutions are given for the cohomology of the finite groups G known to act freely on S3, as well as the cohomology rings of the associated 3–manifolds (spherical space forms) M = S3/G. Chain approximations to the diagonal are constructed, and explicit contracting homotopies also constructed for the cases G is a generalized quaternion group, the binary tetrahedral group, or the binary octahedral group. Some applications are briefly discussed.

Keywords

cohomology ring, Seifert manifold, spherical space form, fundamental group
