Abstract: After surveying existing proofs that every closed, orientable 3-manifold is parallelizable, we give three proofs using minimal background. In particular, our proofs use neither spin structures nor the theory of Stiefel-Whitney classes.

Review text

Summary: After surveying existing proofs that every closed, orientable 3-manifold is parallelizable, we give three proofs using minimal background. In particular, our proofs do not rely on spin structures, the theory of Stiefel-Whitney classes, nor the Lickorish-Wallace theorem.
