Symmetry of links and classification of lens spaces

Geometric Topology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We give a concise proof of a classification of lens spaces up to orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. The chief ingredient in our proof is a study of the Alexander polynomial of ` symmetric' links in S3S^3.
