Decision problems for 3-manifolds and their fundamental groups

Geometric Topology 2015-02-18 v2 Group Theory

Abstract

We survey the status of some decision problems for 3-manifolds and their fundamental groups. This includes the classical decision problems for finitely presented groups (Word Problem, Conjugacy Problem, Isomorphism Problem), and also the Homeomorphism Problem for 3-manifolds and the Membership Problem for 3-manifold groups.
