{"product_id":"9783540590637","title":"Topology and Combinatorics of 3-Manifolds (Lecture Notes in Mathematics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is a study of combinatorial structures of 3-mani- folds, especially Haken 3-manifolds. Specifically, it is concerned with Heegard graphs in Haken 3-manifolds, i.e., with graphs whose complements have a free fundamental group. These graphs always exist. They fix not only a combinatorial stucture but also a presentation for the fundamental group of the underlying 3-manifold. The starting point of the book is the result that the intersection of Heegard graphs with incompressible surfaces, or hierarchies of such surfaces, is very rigid. A number of finiteness results lead up to a ri- gidity theorem for Heegard graphs. The book is intended for graduate students and researchers in low-dimensional topolo- gy as well as combinatorial theory. It is self-contained and requires only a basic knowledge of the theory of 3-manifolds Handlebodies.- Relative handlebodies.- Generalized one-relator 3-manifolds.- N-relaton 3-manifolds.- The space of heegaard graphs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48761672270059,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":128.16,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9783540590637","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
