Mapping degrees between spherical 3-manifolds

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let D(M,N) be the set of integers that can be realized as the degree of a map between two closed connected orientable manifolds M and N of the same dimension. For closed 3-manifolds with S3-geometry M and N, every such degree degfequivoverlinedegpsi (|pi1(N)|) where 0leoverlinedegpsi<|pi1(N)| and overlinedegpsi only depends on the induced homomorphism psi=fpi on the fundamental group. In this paper, we calculate explicitly the set overlinedegpsi when psi is surjective and then we show how to determine overlinedeg(psi) for arbitrary homomorphisms. This leads to the determination of the set D(M,N).
