Decision problems for $3$–manifolds and their fundamental groups

Matthias Aschenbrenner, Stefan Friedl and Henry Wilton

Geometry & Topology Monographs 19 (2015) 201–236

arXiv: 1405.6274

Abstract

We survey the status of some decision problems for 3–manifolds and their fundamental groups. This includes the classical decision problems for finitely presented groups (word problem, conjugacy problem, isomorphism problem), and also the homeomorphism problem for 3–manifolds and the membership problem for 3–manifold groups.

Keywords
