A loop theorem/Dehn's lemma for some orbifolds (Q640336): Difference between revisions

A version of loop theorem and Dehn's lemma is proven for a certain class of 3-orbifolds (good and bad), namely those which are locally orientable and have singular sets labeled with powers of 2. The proof uses the more direct techniques of cutting and pasting, in the spirit of Papakyriakopoulos' original tower proof. Notice that the equivariant loop theorem implies the existence of a loop/Dehn's lemma for 3-orbifolds that are good.
