One-sided incompressible surface in 3-manifolds
Let $M^3$ be a closed orientable $3$-manifold. If $H_2(M,\mathbb Z)=0$ and $H_2(M, \mathbb Z_2)\ne 0$, can we show that $M$ contains a 1-sided incompressible surface?

3-manifold with boundary containing a projective plane
Let $M$ be a compact $3$-manifold such that no component of $\partial M$ is $S^2$ and one component $F$ of $\partial M$ is the projective plane.
If $i_*:\pi_1(F) \to \pi_1(M)$ is an isomorphism, can w …

$P^2$-irreducibility of a $3$-manifold
A $3$-manifold $M$ is called $P^2$-irreducible if it is irreducible and there is no $2$-sided $P^2$ contained in $M$.
Can we show $M$ is $P^2$-irreducible iff $\pi_2(M)=0$?
Notice that one direction f …

Classification of disk bundle over surfaces
Are there any reference for the classification of orientable disk bundle over a closed surface? I am particularly interested in the case if the surface is $S^2,RP^2,T^2$ or the Klein bottle.
