We prove that, if one is also given a solution to the word problem, then the class of fundamental groups of closed, geometric 3-manifolds is algorithmically recognizable. In our terminology, the class of geometric 3-manifold groups is `recursive modulo the word problem'.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-10-07T20:20:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "word problem", "recognizing geometric", "finite presentation", "fundamental groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1210.2101G" } } }
