Fundamental groups of noncompact surfaces
I just ran across this question, and thought I would give a precise version of the proof Ilya suggested. I believe I learned this proof in Richie Miller's topology course, Michigan State University, 1 …

The fundamental group of a closed surface without classification of surfaces?
I will answer the question of whether this also gives the classification cheaply.
No.
It gives the classification at the expense of proving that every surface group has a free cocompact action on th …

$P^1$ minus k points
One can always find a fundamental domain for $G$ which is an ideal polygon $P \subset \mathbb{H}$ having $2k-2$ vertices at infinity and $2k-2$ sides, so that the sides are written in cyclic order aro …

When is a three-manifold deck transformation group solvable?
You are asking for free actions of finite, nonsolvable groups on $Y$. If you truly don't care that $Y$ is a rational homology sphere, for any finite group $G$ there exists a closed, connected, orienta …
