This is part 2 of a 3-part article where we provide an $O(n^2)$-algorithm to produce a surgery presentation of a 3-manifold induced by a gem with a resolution. In this part we produce a sequence of colored simplicial 2-complexes which are…
From a pseudo-triangulation with $n$ tetrahedra $T$ of an arbitrary closed orientable connected 3-manifold (for short, {\em a 3D-space}) $M^3$, we present a gem $J '$, inducing $\IS^3$, with the following characteristics: (a) its number of…
In this final part of a 3-part paper we introduce the pair of "wings" of the abstract PL-colored complexes $\mathcal{H}_{m}^\star$, described in the second paper. The wings, via a weight enhanced Tutte's barycentric embedding of a planar…
Let $M$ be a connected, closed, oriented three-manifold and $K$, $L$ two rationally null-homologous oriented simple closed curves in $M$. We give an explicit algorithm for computing the linking number between $K$ and $L$ in terms of a…
Let be given a {\em colored 3-pseudo-triangulation} $\mathcal{H}^\star$ with $n$ tetrahedra. Colored means that each tetrahedron have vertices distinctively colored 0,1,2,3. In a {\em pseudo} 3-triangulation the intersection of simplices…
Drawing together techniques from combinatorics and computer science, we improve the census algorithm for enumerating closed minimal P^2-irreducible 3-manifold triangulations. In particular, new constraints are proven for face pairing…
Three-manifolds can be obtained through surgery of framed links in $S^3$. We study the meaning of surgery procedures in the context of topological strings. We obtain U(N) three-manifold invariants from U(N) framed link invariants in…
We present a short proof of the following Pontryagin theorem, whose original proof was complicated and has never been published in details: {\bf Theorem.} Let $M$ be a connected oriented closed smooth 3-manifold. Let $L_1(M)$ be the set of…
The purpose of the present paper is twofold: firstly to extend to non-orientable compact 4-manifolds the notion of gem-induced trisection, directly obtained from colored triangulations (or, equivalently, from colored graphs encoding them,…
We introduce a natural-valued complexity c(X) for pairs X=(M,L), where M is a closed orientable 3-manifold and L is a link contained in M. The definition employs simple spines, but for well-behaved X's we show that c(X) equals the minimal…
In this paper, we describe geometrical constructions to obtain triangulations of connected sums of closed orientable triangulated 3-manifolds. Using these constructions, we show that it takes time polynomial in the number of tetrahedra to…
The classical Seifert algorithm provides an explicit construction of a Seifert surface for any link in $S^3$. Alegria and Menasco extended this construction to integral homology $3$-spheres using Heegaard splittings. In this paper, we…
The face pairing graph of a 3-manifold triangulation is a 4-valent graph denoting which tetrahedron faces are identified with which others. We present a series of properties that must be satisfied by the face pairing graph of a closed…
By means of a slight modification of the notion of GM-complexity, the present paper performs a graph-theoretical approach to the computation of (Matveev's) complexity for closed orientable 3-manifolds. In particular, the existing…
One of the apparent advantages of quantum computers over their classical counterparts is their ability to efficiently contract tensor networks. In this article, we study some implications of this fact in the case of topological tensor…
We study framed links in irreducible 3-manifolds that are $Z$-homology 3-spheres or atoroidal $Q$-homology 3-spheres. We calculate the dual of the Kauffman skein module over the ring of two variable power series with complex coefficients.…
The present paper follows the computational approach to 3-manifold classification via edge-coloured graphs, already performed by several authors with respect to orientable 3-manifolds up to 28 coloured tetrahedra, non-orientable 3-manifolds…
We have defined weight of the pair $(\langle S \mid R \rangle, R)$ for a given presentation $\langle S \mid R \rangle$ of a group, where the number of generators is equal to the number of relations. We present an algorithm to construct…
In this paper we construct invariants of 3-manifolds "\`a la Reshetikhin-Turaev" in the setting of non-semi-simple ribbon tensor categories. We give concrete examples of such categories which lead to a family of 3-manifold invariants…
Let M be a (possibly non-orientable) compact 3-manifold with (possibly empty) boundary consisting of tori and Klein bottles. Let $X\subset\partial M$ be a trivalent graph such that $\partial M\setminus X$ is a union of one disc for each…
