  3. Loop theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_theorem

    In mathematics, in the topology of 3-manifolds, the loop theorem is a generalization of Dehn's lemma. The loop theorem was first proven by Christos Papakyriakopoulos in 1956, along with Dehn's lemma and the Sphere theorem. A simple and useful version of the loop theorem states that if for some 3-dimensional manifold M with boundary ∂M there ...

  4. Prime decomposition of 3-manifolds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_decomposition_of_3...

    If is a prime 3-manifold then either it is or the non-orientable bundle over , or it is irreducible, which means that any embedded 2-sphere bounds a ball. So the theorem can be restated to say that there is a unique connected sum decomposition into irreducible 3-manifolds and fiber bundles of S 2 {\displaystyle S^{2}} over S 1 . {\displaystyle ...

  5. 3-manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-manifold

    The prime decomposition theorem for 3-manifolds states that every compact, orientable 3-manifold is the connected sum of a unique (up to homeomorphism) collection of prime 3-manifolds. A manifold is prime if it cannot be presented as a connected sum of more than one manifold, none of which is the sphere of the same dimension.

    In mathematics, in the topology of 3-manifolds, the sphere theorem of Christos Papakyriakopoulos gives conditions for elements of the second homotopy group of a 3-manifold to be represented by embedded spheres. One example is the following:

  9. Heegaard splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heegaard_splitting

    A paper of Kobayashi (2001) classifies the Heegaard splittings of hyperbolic three-manifolds which are two-bridge knot complements. Computational methods can be used to determine or approximate the Heegaard genus of a 3-manifold. John Berge's software Heegaard studies Heegaard splittings generated by the fundamental group of a manifold.
