Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0747.00039.] The authors consider the situation where \(M\) is a closed 3-manifold (orientable or not) with a decomposition \(M = T_ 1 \cup T_ 2 \cup T_ 3\) such that \(T_ i \cap T_ j = \partial T_ i \cap \partial T_ j\) (for \(i \neq j\)) is a compact (not necessarily connected) 2- manifold. Here the \(T_ i\)'s are allowed to be \(B^ 3\) (3-ball), \(D^ 2 \times S^ 1\) (solid torus), \(D^ 2 \widetilde{\times} S^ 1\) (solid Klein bottle) and \(P^ 2 \times I\) (\(P^ 2\) is the real projective plane and \(I\) the unit interval). For all above listed values of \(T_ 1\), \(T_ 2\) and \(T_ 3\) they determine the homeomorphism type of \(M\). A result of converse type is also proved.
