On the coverings of closed non-orientable Euclidean manifolds $\mathcal{B}_{3}$ and $\mathcal{B}_{4}$

The enumeration of coverings of closed orientable Euclidean manifolds $G_3$ and $G_5$

There are only 10 Euclidean forms, that is flat closed three dimensional manifolds: six are orientable and four are non-orientable. The aim of this paper is to describe all types of $n$-fold coverings over orientable Euclidean manifolds $\mathcal{G}_{3}$ and $\mathcal{G}_{5}$, and calculate the numbers of non-equivalent coverings of each type. We classify subgroups in the fundamental groups $π_1(\mathcal{G}_{3})$ and $π_1(\mathcal{G}_{5})$ up to isomorphism and calculate the numbers of conjugated classes of each type of subgroups for index $n$. The manifolds $\mathcal{G}_{3}$ and $\mathcal{G}_…

Covering spaces of 3-orbifolds

Let O be a compact orientable 3-orbifold with non-empty singular locus and a finite volume hyperbolic structure. (Equivalently, O is the quotient of hyperbolic 3-space by a lattice in PSL(2,C) with torsion.) Then we prove that O has a tower of finite-sheeted covers {O_i} with linear growth of p-homology, for some prime p. This means that the dimension of the first homology, with mod p coefficients, of the fundamental group of O_i grows linearly in the covering degree. The proof combines techniques from 3-manifold theory with group-theoretic methods, including the Golod-Shafarevich inequality a…

On the coverings of Hantzsche-Wendt manifold

There are only 10 Euclidean forms, that is flat closed three dimensional manifolds: six are orientable $\mathcal{G}_1,\dots,\mathcal{G}_6$ and four are non-orientable $\mathcal{B}_1,\dots,\mathcal{B}_4$. In the present paper we investigate the manifold $\mathcal{G}_6$, also known as Hantzsche-Wendt manifold; this is the unique Euclidean $3$-form with finite first homology group $H_1(\mathcal{G}_6) = \mathbb{Z}^2_4$. The aim of this paper is to describe all types of $n$-fold coverings over $\mathcal{G}_{6}$ and calculate the numbers of non-equivalent coverings of each type. We classify subgroup…

Generalized orbifold Euler characteristics of symmetric orbifolds and covering spaces

Let G be a finite group and let M be a G-manifold. We introduce the concept of generalized orbifold invariants of M/G associated to an arbitrary group Gamma, an arbitrary Gamma-set, and an arbitrary covering space of a connected manifold Sigma whose fundamental group is Gamma. Our orbifold invariants have a natural and simple geometric origin in the context of locally constant G-equivariant maps from G-principal bundles over covering spaces of Sigma to the G-manifold M. We calculate generating functions of orbifold Euler characteristic of symmetric products of orbifolds associated to arbitrary…

3-Manifolds from Platonic Solids

The problem of classifying, upto isometry (or similarity), the orientable spherical, Euclidean and hyperbolic 3-manifolds that arise by identifying the faces of a Platonic solid is formulated in the language of Coxeter groups. In the spherical and hyperbolic cases, this allows us to complete the classification begun by Lorimer, Richardson and Rubinstein and Best.
