Homotopy classification of lens spaces for one-relator groups with torsion

Sushil Jajodia

Vol. 89 (1980), No. 2, 301–311
Abstract

Let Ξ be a one-relator group with presentation = (x1,,xn : Rp) where R is not a proper power and p 2. Then given any integer q, relatively prime to p, we can construct the Lens space (p,q) for Ξ from the cellular model C() of the presentation by attaching a 3-cell via the attaching map Rq 1, which generates the ideal ZΞ(R 1) π2(C()). In this paper we classify these Lens spaces up to homotopy type. We also discuss the non-cancellation aspect of these Lens spaces.
