Learning roadmap for geometric topology

One of the best introductions to the subject is certainly Thurston's Three-dimensional Topology and Geometry, Vol.1 (not to be confused with his much harder lecture notes Three-dimensional Topology an …

Homotopy groups other than $\pi_1$ : what are they good for?

I think, they have an intrinsic appeal: If one cares about manifolds, one should care about maps between manifolds. As maps between spaces appear so often in topology, of course also homotopy groups d …

Closed 3-manifolds with free abelian fundamental groups

(I assume all occuring 3-manifolds to be orientable and closed) A manifold with a free abelian fundamental group cannot be a connected sum of non-trivial 3-manifolds since its fundamental group is no …
