May 6, 2019 at 16:49 comment added Ryan Budney "Half lives, half dies" is basically just an encoding of the restrictions put on maps due to Poincare duality. One way or another it's an encoding of the commutative ladder for the long exact sequence of a pair of manifolds. Generally it is most interesting around the middle dimension, which for 3-manifolds would be H^1 and H^2.

Dec 6, 2018 at 17:44 comment added Klaas Thank you, this is interesting stuff! Can you expand a little on how this principle would help? In the Mayer Vietoris sequence there is only the difference of two such restriction maps. What makes me a bit skeptical is that my intuitive argument works in any dimension, that is, not just for the $3$-torus, whereas using the "half-lives, half-dies" principle would work only in dimension $3$ (or, any odd dimension?).

Dec 5, 2018 at 14:42 comment added Danny Ruberman You're on the right track with the Mayer-Vietoris sequence; have a look at the "half-lives, half-dies" principle. It tells you about the image of the restriction maps on $H^1$. Eg Lemma 3.5 of Hatcher's 3-manifold notes pi.math.cornell.edu/~hatcher/3M/3M.pdf.
