Abstract: The $g$-vector of a simplicial complex contains a lot of informations about the combinatorial and topological structure of that complex. So far several classification results on the structure of normal pseudomanifolds and homology manifolds have been given with respect to the value $g_2$. It is known that for $g_2=0$, all the normal pseudomanifolds of dimension at least three are stacked spheres. In case of $g_2=1$ and $2$, all the prime homology manifolds are the polytopal spheres and are obtained by some sort of retriangulations or join operation from the previous one. In this article we have given a combinatorial characterization of the homology $d$-manifolds with $g_2=3$, $dgeq3$ which are obtained by the operations like join, some retriangulations and connected sum. Further, we have given a structural result on some prime normal $d$-pseudomanifolds with $g_2=3$. Our results together with [9] classifies (combinatorially) all the normal $3$-pseudomanifolds with $g_2=3$.
