Centralizers of torsion in 3-manifold groups

Publication date: 1 November 2021

Abstract: We show that if

P

is a

P D_{3}

-complex and

g i n p i_{1} (P)

has finite order

> 1

and infinite centraliser then

p i_{1} (P)

retracts onto

Z / 2 Z o p l u s m a t h b b Z

. If

P

is an irreducible closed 3-manifold then it follows from the Projective Plane Theorem that

P c o n g R P^{2} i m e s S^{1}

.
