Homotopy equivalences of lens spaces of one-relator groups (Q2734873)

The author studies odd-dimensional lens spaces \(X^{2m+1}\) of finitely generated one relator groups \(\pi\) with torsion and their even-dimensional skeleta \(X^{2m}\). These are finite \((\pi,2m+1)\)-complexes, determined by a one-relator presentation \({\mathcal P}_\pi\) with \(q\)-torsion and a sequence of residue classes \(p_2,\dots, p_{m+1}\bmod q\). The author shows that the \(k\)-invariant (MacLane-Whitehead invariant) of \(X^{2m+1}\) is \(k=p_2,\dots, p_{m+1}\bmod q\) and the \(k\)-invariant of \(X^{2m}\) is \(k=p_2,\dots, p_m\bmod q\), and that possible \(k\)-invariants of these complexes agree with the units in the ring \(H^{2m+1} (\pi,\pi_{2m})\). He classifies the homotopy types of the \((\pi, n)\)-complexes \(X^n\) and calculates the group of pointed homotopy self-equivalence classes of \(X^{2m+1} ({\mathcal P}_\pi:k)\) as a semi-direct product and the group of pointed homotopy self-equivalence classes of \(X^{2m}({\mathcal P}_\pi :k)\) as a semi-direct product up to inner automorphisms.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0960.00050].
