Some series of honey-comb spaces (Q1024935)

Starting with a detailed discussion of the Seifert-Weber dodecahedral space the authors study a family \(M_{n,k,l}\) of closed orientable \(3\)-manifolds obtained as a quotient space of a polyhedron with certain edge identifications and introduced by A. C. Kim, Y. Kim and S. H. Kim [\textit{A. C. Kim} and \textit{Y. Kim}, Res. Expo. Math. 27, 65--73 (2003; Zbl 1058.57002); \textit{S. H. Kim} and \textit{Y. Kim}, Commun. Korean Math. Soc. 20, No.~4, 803--812 (2005; Zbl 1083.57003)]. They obtain geometric presentations of their fundamental groups and their split extension groups and determine which of the \(M_{n,k,l}\) are hyperbolic and which are Seifert fibered. The cyclic covers of \(M_{n,k,l}\) over \(S^3\) branched over well-known links are described. Finally the authors obtain a classification of a certain class of honey-comb spaces constructed by \textit{A. C. Kim} and \textit{A. I. Kostrikin} [Dokl.
