- Descripción
- Compact orientable 3-manifolds have been thoroughly used in probing a possible non-trivial topology of the space-like sections of spacetime and in the construction of mini- and midi-superspaces in quantum cosmology. However, there is in the physics literature a widespread misunderstanding concerning a class of compact orientable euclidean three-manifolds, namely the sixth class in Wolf's classification. This misunderstanding is rectified by constructing a fundamental polyhedron and glueing data for a manifold of this class using a method based on the action of discrete groups of isometries on the euclidean space <math>E^3\,\!</math>. The correctness of this construction is checked by computing its first homology group.
