\section{Enumerating necklace gluings}
\subsection{Necklace gluings with $n$ beads}
\begin{definition}
An $n$-dipyramid is a 3-ball with a cell structure
whose boundary triangulation is the suspension
of an $n$-gon. The choice of suspension points
is canonical unless $n = 4$, in which case we
take care to remember which vertices are suspension points.
\end{definition}
@
The following is our implementation of this
definition in Regina.
<<how to make an n-dipyr>>=
def makeDipyr(n):
"""Returns an n-dipyr."""
newt = Triangulation3()
for i in range(0,n):
newt.newTetrahedron()
for i in range(0,n):
me = newt.simplex(i)
you = newt.simplex((i+1)%n)
me.join(2,you,Perm4(2,3))
return newt
@
As you can verify, we have glued up the $n$-dipyramid so
that the interior faces are all faces 2 and 3 of their
respective tetrahedra, and the boundary faces are thus faces
0 and 1. Their common edge in a given tetrahedron is an edge
of the base polygon. We have also indexed the tetrahedra
with naturals less than $n$ so that the induced cyclic
ordering on the common edges is the same as that induced
by the base polygon. Finally, as you may verify, all the
0 faces lie around one suspension point, and the 1 faces
lie around the other suspension point.
@
N.B. In the above paragraph, the labels 0,1,2,3 refer to
Regina's internal labelling system, not our just imposed
face labelling on the boundary faces of the dipyramid.
@
\begin{definition}
A \emph{necklace gluing of bead number $n$}
is a oriented face-pairing
of all the faces of an $n$-dipyramid
such that every face-pair preserves the partition
of the dipyramid's vertices
into suspension points.
\end{definition}
@
The set of necklace gluings
of bead number $n$ on an $n$-dipyramid
is naturally in bijection
with the perfect matchings
on the set of faces of that $n$-dipyramid.
There are $2 \cdot n$ faces, so given any
labelling of the faces by naturals less
than $2 \cdot n$, we get an identification
sending perfect matchings
in $S_{2 \cdot n}$ to necklace gluings.
@
The labelling we choose involves a choice
of higher and lower suspension point, an
orientation of the base polygon, and
a choice of face thereon. With these choices,
mark the sides of the base polygon
with $\{2\cdot i : 0 \leq i < n\}$, such that
the chosen face takes marking 0, and
the cyclic ordering on faces from the
orientation induces the natural cyclic
ordering $0 < 2 < \cdots < 2\cdot n - 2$.
Then a face of the $n$-dipyramid which
is adjacent to the lower suspension point
takes as a label the marking on the side of
the base of which it is a cone, but a face of the
$n$-dipyramid adjacent to the higher
suspension point takes instead $1$ plus
the marking on its base side. (Cf. Figure \ref{fig:bead7}.)
@
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=.4\textwidth]{bead7.png}
\caption{Our labelled 7-dipyramid in stereographic projection
from the higher suspension point.}\label{fig:bead7}
\end{figure}
@
Therefore, the following code accomplishes a necklace
gluing, given a perfect matching in
$S_{2\cdot n}$ in cycle notation,
assuming Regina maintains the indexing of tetrahedra.
@
First, it is easy to match a face label with a tetrahedron index.
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>=
def whichTet(face):
return face / 2
@
We represent face-pairings as lists of pairs
of natural numbers. To accomplish a gluing,
we make an appropriate dipyramid, and for every
pair in the list, glue the faces together.
The first task is to determine which tetrahedras'
faces are getting glued together.
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>=
def makeNecklace(fpfinv):
n = len(fpfinv)
ndipyr = makeDipyr(n)
local = list(fpfinv)
while local != []:
(i,j) = local.pop()
me = ndipyr.simplex(whichTet(i))
you = ndipyr.simplex(whichTet(j))
@
The face of [[me]] getting glued is
either 0 or 1, respectively, according
as $i$ is adjacent to the lower or
higher suspension point, i.e. according
as $i$ is even or odd.
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>=
meFace = i % 2
@
We now split into two cases according as
$i,j$ lie on the same or different suspension points.
@
If they lie along the same suspension point, then
the face-pairing restricted to the vertices fixes
0 and 1. (Recall the duality between faces and
vertices of a tetrahedron.)
But it must reverse orientation, so that
the whole manifold is oriented. Thus the induced
map on the vertices is the permutation $(2\ 3)$.
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>=
if (i % 2 == j % 2):
me.join(meFace,you,Perm4(2,3))
@
On the other hand, if they lie along different
suspension points, then the 0,1 vertices must
be flipped. Thus the 2 and 3 vertices must be
fixed so that the gluing is oriented.
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>=
else:
me.join(meFace,you,Perm4(0,1))
ndipyr.setLabel(str(fpfinv))
return ndipyr
<<necklace.py>>=
<<how to make an n-dipyr>>
<<how to make a necklace gluing>>
@
\subsection{Enumerating necklace gluings}
Our next goal is to get a list as small as
possible which for every necklace gluing
contains a manifold homeomorphic to that gluing. We
could, of course, just enumerate all
perfect matchings and put the
associated gluings in some container. But many of
these, presumably, will be asymmetric, so
that by applying elements of the symmetry
group of the $n$-dipyramid, we get different
gluings which are homeomorphic. We wish to
eliminate as much of such redundancy as we
reasonably can.
@
A reasonable approach is to have our container
contain one representative from each
dipyr-symmetry group orbit of perfect
matchings, and nothing else. Milley took
this approach, and it is the approach we take
as well. However, we introduce a subtlety which
makes the enumeration faster and leaner.
@
We do not begin by enumerating all
perfect matchings as Milley does.
Instead, we begin by constructing a trie
with a face-pair at each internal node, such
that there is an identification of perfect
matchings in $S_{2\cdot n}$ with
backtrack-free paths from the root of the trie to leaves.
This takes much less space to store than the
whole list of perfect matchings.
We define what it means to remove a matching
from the trie. This takes much less time
than removing a matching from a list.
Finally, we do a fairly natural thing after that:
while the trie still contains a matching $\sigma$,
remove every element of $\sigma$'s orbit from the trie,
and then put $\sigma$ in some list.

\begin{remark}
There are several other optimizations and
generalizations possible. However, the above
approach is sufficient for our needs, and it
is simpler to understand.

\subsubsection{The action of the symmetry group on gluings}
Let us call the dipyramidal symmetry group $DP$. Our
first order of business is encoding its action on face-pairings.
It also acts on face-pairs and, of course, on faces. Since it
acts on several things at once, we have different functions
associated to these actions. But let us begin with how $DP$
acts on faces.
@
\begin{definition}
A face we represent as a natural number below $2 \cdot n$.
There are three symmetries of the dipyramid which generate
its symmetry group and are relatively easy to write down:
a counterclockwise rotation by an $n$th of a revolution;
the reflection through the plane through the base, which we
call a \emph{p-flip}; and
a reflection through a plane through the suspension points
and a lateral vertex, which we call a \emph{v-flip}. If
that lateral vertex is adjacent to faces
$0,1,2\cdot(n-1), 2\cdot n - 1$,
then we call it \emph{the} v-flip.
\end{definition}
@
The following implements these symmetries as
they act on face labels. For convenience, we implement the
rotation through $t$ $n$ths of a revolution.
@
<<how to act>>=
def rt(n,t,face):
return (face + 2*t) % (2*n)
def pFlip(face):
return face + 1 - 2*(face%2)
def vFlip(n,face):
return 2*(n-1 + face%2) - face
@
You may check that a symmetry of the dipyramid
is a rotation followed possibly by the p-flip,
followed possibly by the v-flip. (We also
remind the reader that in Python, [[m % n]]
is the remainder upon division of $m$ by $n$,
at least 0 and less than $n$.)
@
Because $DP$ acts on so many things,
we introduce a poor man's datatype to
represent its elements. We represent
an element of $DP$ by a pair [[(s,t)]]
of a string and number, where the string
[[str]] must be one of [["Rot"]],
[["PRot"]], [["VRot"]], or [["VPRot"]], and
the number [[t]] is assumed less than $n$.
<<how to act>>=
def actFace (n,dp,face):
(s,t) = dp
r = rt(n,t,face)
if s == "Rot":
return r
if s == "VRot":
return vFlip(n,r)
if s == "PRot":
return pFlip(r)
if s == "VPRot":
return vFlip(n,pFlip(r))
else:
raise Exception
@
Now, to discuss the action on face-pairs, we must
discuss our representation of face-pairs. We represent
them not just as ordered pairs, but as consistently
ordered pairs. We represent the pair of faces $i,j$
by $(i,j)$ or $(j,i)$ according as $i > j$ or $j > i$,
respectively.
@
Therefore, the implementation of the action on face-pairs
is not as simple as applying the action to each entry; we
have to maintain the order's consistency.
<<how to act>>=
def actFacePair(n,dp,facepair):
(i,j) = facepair
a_f = actFace
(x,y) = (a_f (n,dp,i), a_f(n,dp,j))
if x > y:
return (x,y)
else:
return (y,x)
@
Finally, we represent a gluing as a $>$-sorted list
of face-pairs. So we have to sort
after applying the action on face-pairs.
<<how to act>>=
def actGluing(n,dp,gluing):
afp = actFacePair
unsorted = map((lambda fp: afp(n,dp,fp)), \
gluing)
return sorted(unsorted, reverse=True)
@
Having defined the action on gluings, we define
the orbit. We only make sure that the list
returned contains all elements from the orbit,
and only elements from the orbit. We do not
remove duplicates from this list.
<<how to orbit>>=
def orbitWithRepeats(n,gluing):
l = gluing
nums = range(n)
nums.reverse()
ag = actGluing
symm_types = ["Rot","VRot","PRot","VPRot"]
out = []
for s in symm_types:
for t in nums:
out = [ag(n,(s,t),l)] + out
return out
<<necklace.py>>=
<<how to act>>
<<how to orbit>>
@
\subsubsection{The trie of gluings}
We implement the trie of gluings as a standard binary trie on
pairs of natural numbers. Its type's definition in Coq would be
<<Coq definition of the type of our trie>>=
Inductive PairTrie : Type :=
| PTLeaf : PairTrie
| PTBranch : (nat*nat) -> PairTrie -> PairTrie -> PairTrie.
@
That is to say, a pair-trie is either a leaf, or it's
a branch, with an associated pair $(m,n)$ of numbers and
two associated pair-tries, a left child and right child.
We again go with a poor-man's implementation of this
datatype in Python. A pair-trie will be a tuple,
either a singleton or a quadruple. If it is a
singleton, its single entry will be the constant [[PTLeaf]].
Otherwise, its initial entry will be the constant [[PTBranch]];
its next entry will be a pair [[(m,n)]] of integers; and
its final entries will be pair-tries.
@
The way we construct our trie follows from a more general
construction of perfect matchings on arbitrary
lists of even length. Suppose $pfm(l)$ were the set of
perfect matchings on $l$. If $l$ is empty,
then this set is empty; we thus represent it by a leaf.
Otherwise, $l$ has at least two elements by evenness.
We partition $pfm(l)$ according as an element does or
does not flip the first two elements of $l$. Thus,
$pfm(l) = (f\ f') \cdot pfm(l'')\ \cup\ X$, where
$f,f'$ are the first elements of $l$; $l''$ is $l$
without these elements; and $X$ is the subset of
$pfm(l)$ sending $f$ to something apart from $f'$.
@
At this point we end up with two options.
Either we could use a non-binary trie, or we can
introduce a sort of auxiliary stack parameter in $pfm$
to "remember" which face-pairs we've foregone so far.
We choose the latter option.
@
So we end up with a slightly more complicated
decomposition. We have some set $m$, and
$pfm(l,m)$ is going to be the set of
perfect matchings on $l \cup m$ \emph{which
sends the first element of l to some other element of l}.
(Thus, our original definition of $pfm$ would
now be $pfm(l,\emptyset)$.)
If $l$ is empty, this is $\emptyset$. We represent
this situation by a leaf.
Otherwise, by $l$'s evenness, it has two
initial elements $f,f'$. Then we may decompose
$pfm(l,m)$ into those matchings which flip
$f,f'$ and those which don't.
We may write a perfect matching on $l\cup m$
which flips $f,f'$ as the composition of $(f\ f')$ and a
perfect matching of $l'' \cup m$,
where $l''$ is $l$ without $f,f'$. On the other
hand, a perfect matching on $l \cup m$
which does not send $f$ to $f'$ but which does send
$f$ into $l$ is a perfect matching on
$l' \cup (\{f'\} \cup m)$ which sends $f$
into some other element of $l'$,
where $l'$ is $l$ without $f'$. Thus we have
a particular pair $(f,f')$, and two similar, simpler
$pfm$s to consider. We represent this situation by
a branch. (For convenience,
we define an auxiliary ``smush'' function establishing union
in the first part of the partition.)
<<how to make the gluing trie>>=
def smush (l,m):
if m == []:
return l
else:
return smush (([m[0]] + l), m[1:])
PTLeaf = -1
PTBranch = -2
def pfm(l,m):
if l == []:
return (PTLeaf,)
# else
f = l[0]
lp = l[1:]
if lp == []:
return (PTLeaf,)
fp = l[1]
lpp = l[2:]
return (PTBranch, \
(f,fp), \
pfm(smush(lpp,m), []), \
pfm([f] + lpp, [fp] + m))
def completePairTrie(n):
nums = range(2*n)
nums.reverse()
return pfm(nums, [])
@
It's pretty simple to extract at least one matching
from our trie if there is one. Just go left.
<<how to get a matching if there is one>>=
def leftMatching(pt):
if pt[0] == "PTLeaf":
return []
else:
(str, p, lt, rt) = pt
assert str == "PTBranch"
return [p] + leftMatching(lt)
@
It's also fairly straightforward to remove
a matching from our trie. This, however,
requires now that we spell out exactly what
is the association between a path from root to
leaf and perfect matching. By cycle
notation it will suffice to describe how to
extract from such a path a sequence of $n$
face-pairs (in order to get a permutation in cycle notation).
(The involutive and perfect properties
must be proved from our original trie's properties,
which proof we leave to the reader.)
@
A path from root to leaf might be empty; in that
case, the sequence is empty. Otherwise, the path
takes some sequence of lefts and rights. We
say that the sequence of a path is that list
whose first element is the pair of the node
at which the path first turns left, and whose
tail is the associated sequence of the path
from the root of the child trie to the given leaf.
@
The application of this for removing a matching
is as follows. One has given a matching in the
proper order, and a pair-trie again in proper order.
(So if we were being thorough, we would need to
define proper order and show the original trie
is properly ordered, and show that removal preserves
propriety.) If the trie is empty, you return the trie.
Otherwise, compare the root with the head of the
matching. If they differ, remove the whole matching
from the right child. If, instead, they agree, then
remove the rest of the matching from the left child.
If the result is just a leaf, then we can get rid of this
root entirely, so the result should be the right child.
Otherwise, it's just the trie with the rest of the matching
removed from the left child.
<<how to remove a matching>>=
def removeMatching(l,pt):
if l == []:
return pt
if pt[0] == "PTLeaf":
return pt
p,ps,(str,pp,lt,rt) = l[0],l[1:],pt
assert str == "PTBranch"
if p != pp:
return ("PTBranch", pp, lt, \
removeMatching(l,rt))
ltp = removeMatching(ps,lt)
if ltp[0] == "PTLeaf":
return rt
else:
return ("PTBranch", pp, ltp, rt)
@
This takes time proportional to at most the number of face-pairs.
With a more sophisticated structure, we could possibly
get it down lower. At any rate, this is much better
than time proportional to the number of \emph{gluings},
which is the time it would take to find and remove
gluings from a \emph{list} of all gluings.
@
In conclusion for this section, it's now completely
straightforward to implement our original plan as
described above: pop top, remove orbit, do something
with the orbit representative (here encapsulated
in a function [[f]]), repeat.

\section{Hyperbolicity testing for link complements}
We can now generate all the manifolds of interest to us.
Our next task is to determine among these which embed
nonelementarily into hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
As a warmup we first describe how to determine
whether or not a given nontrivial link complement is hyperbolic.
As a very first step, we can implement some basic sanity checks.
Then we implement normal surface routines that find
interesting surfaces of non-negative Euler characteristic,
which for link complements are the only obstructions
to hyperbolicity, by Thurston's hyperbolization theorem
for Haken manifolds.
@
\subsection{Sanity checks}
\subsubsection{Link complement testing}
All necklace gluings are orientable. Likewise, they are all connected.
(If we were testing arbitrary MOM gluings, then we would
add a connectedness test.) One other requirement, though,
is that the links of all the vertices must be tori. This
is known in the literature as a ``(generalized) link complement,''
i.e. the complement of a nontrivial link
in some closed orientable 3-manifold.
(Some authors require that the given
closed 3-manifold be irreducible.
We do not make this requirement.)
@
<<link complement>>=
def isLinkComplement(mfld, allowInteriorVertices):
if not mfld.isOrientable():
return False
if not mfld.isConnected():
return False
M = Triangulation3(mfld)
M.finiteToIdeal()
if not M.isValid():
return False
vs = mfld.vertices()
for v in vs:
if not (v.link() == v.TORUS or \
(allowInteriorVertices and \
v.link() == v.SPHERE)):
return False
else:
return True
@
\subsubsection{Fundamental group obstructions}
Next we describe some obstructions to
the hyperbolicity of a 3-manifold $M$ that are
often easy to detect using [[Regina]]. These
obstructions fall into two classes.
@
The first class of obstructions are
obstructions coming from presentations
of $\pi_1(M)$. Regina is skillful in producing
useful, small presentations of $\pi_1(M)$.
Perhaps surprisingly, these are enough to disprove
hyperbolicity in a majority of our calculations.
@
First of all, in version 5.1 Regina can
often recognise [sic] the following class of groups.
@
\begin{definition}
A \emph{Regina-5.1} group is one of the following.
\begin{itemize}
\item an Abelian group
\item an extension of an Abelian group over $\mathbf{Z}$
\item a free product of Regina-5.1 groups
\end{itemize}
\end{definition}
@
\begin{lemma}
If $M$ is a link complement and
$\pi_1(M)$ is a Regina-5.1 group,
then $M$ is not hyperbolic.
\end{lemma}
@
\begin{proof}
All hyperbolic link complements
have nonabelian fundamental groups
that are not free products.
Moreover, every abelian subgroup of such
a group is either $\mathbf{Z}$ or
$\mathbf{Z}\oplus\mathbf{Z}$. But neither
are these groups extensions of $\mathbf{Z}$
or $\mathbf{Z}\oplus\mathbf{Z}$ over $\mathbf{Z}$.
\end{proof}
@
In addition to these obstructions,
two other obstructions happen exceedingly often.
These are presentations of the fundamental group
of the forms $\langle a,b\ |\ \ldots, [a^p,b^q], \ldots \rangle$
or $\langle a,b\ |\ \ldots, a^p b^q, \ldots \rangle$. We call these
\emph{common axis relations}, the first being a
common axis \emph{commutator}, and the latter a
common axis \emph{equation}.
@
\begin{lemma}
Presentations with common axis relators do not present
fundamental groups of hyperbolic link complements.
\end{lemma}
@
\begin{proof}
Suppose such a presentation presents $G$.
Suppose $G < PSL_2\mathbf{C}$.
If $P$ has a common axis commutator or equation,
then $a^p$ and $b^q$ commute. Since $G < PSL_2\mathbf{C}$,
$a$ and $b$ must commute as well, since commuting
elements have the same axis, and $a^p,b^q$ have the
same axes as $a,b$, respectively. Thus $p = \pm q = 1$.
So either $G$ is trivial or is $\mathbf{Z}\oplus\mathbf{Z}$,
and is not the fundamental group of a hyperbolic link complement.
\end{proof}
<<fundamental group obstructions>>=
def isCommonAxisCommutator(expr):
l = expr.terms()
if len(l) != 4 or \
l[0] != l[2].inverse() or \
l[1] != l[3].inverse():
return False
else:
return True
def isCommonAxisEquation(expr):
l = expr.terms()
return len(l) == 2
def possiblyHyperbolicPi1(mfld):
G = mfld.fundamentalGroup()
G.intelligentSimplify()
if G.countGenerators() == 2:
for i in range(G.countRelations()):
if isCommonAxisCommutator(G.relation(i)):
return (False, "$\\pi_1 = \\langle a,b\\ |\\ \ldots, [a^p,b^q], \ldots \\rangle$")
if isCommonAxisRelator(G.relation(i)):
return (False, "$\\pi_1 = \\langle a,b\\ |\\ \ldots, a^p b^q, \ldots \\rangle$")
name = G.recogniseGroup()
if name != '':
return (False, "$\\pi_1 =" + name + "$")
return (True,'')
@
\subsubsection{Census obstructions}
The second class of obstructions come from census checks.
@
\begin{remark}
We would like to emphasize the following in a remark:
the following code depends critically
on using the censuses in Regina version \emph{5.1}.
We have incorporated this at the beginning
of the code; if run in a different version of
Regina, it will return no census hit name.
\end{remark}
<<census obstructions>>=
def censusNE(mfld):
if rg.versionString() != "5.1":
print "Censuses not vetted for Regina versions not equal to 5.1"
return None
@
Now, Regina contains several censuses of triangulations.
Checking whether or not a triangulation lies in a
census is a very fast check---it's essentially
linear in the triangulation. Regina assigns
``names'' to census ``hits,'' i.e. occurrences
of a triangulation in a census.
<<census obstructions>>=
ch = rg.Census.lookup(mfld)
if ch.first() == None:
return None
name = ch.first().name()
@
There is apparently no online documentation
of the types of names in Regina's censuses.
As of version 5.1, an inspection of their names in the Regina GUI
reveals that all the names of census manifolds are of the following types.
@
From the closed orientable census, the names have the form
[[ homeo : #x ]], where [[homeo]] is a string denoting the
manifold's homeomorphism type, and [[x]] is some decimal place-value
number used for distinguishing non-isomorphic triangulations of
the same manifold. The homeomorphism type strings are as
in Table \ref{tab:censuses}.
@
\begin{table}[t]
\centering
\begin{tabular}[c]{|c|c|} \hline
[[Name]] & Homeomorphism type \\ \hline
[[S3]] & $S^3$ \\ \hline
[[L(p,q)]] & $L(p,q)$ \\ \hline
[[S2 x S1]] & $S^2 \times S^1$ \\ \hline
[[RP3]] & $\mathbf{R}P^3$ \\ \hline
[[SFS [surf: (a0,b0),...] ]] & $M(S; a_0/b_0,\ldots)$ \\ \hline
[[T x S1]] & $T^3$, the three-torus \\ \hline
[[KB\n2 x~ S1]] & $K^2 \tilde{\times} S^1$, the twisted I-bundle over $K^2$\\ \hline
[[T x I / [ a b | c d ] ]] & $T^2$ mapping torus with monodromy $\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d\end{pmatrix}$ \\ \hline
[[sfs0 U/m1 ... U/mx sfsx]] &
Seifert-fibered spaces $sfs_0,\ldots,sfs_x$ \\
& identified along their boundaries via \\
& homeomorphisms given by $m_i$ \\
& (usually $m_1 =$[[ m]] and $m_2=$[[ n]]) \\ \hline
[[Hyp_V]] & Hyperbolic manifold of volume $V$ \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Names for homeomorphism types in Regina 5.1.}
\label{tab:censuses}
\end{table}
@
All the other orientable censuses are of hyperbolic 3-manifolds.
The Hodgson-Weeks census has entries $\rho:N$ where
$\rho$ is a decimal approximation of the hyperbolic volume
and $N$ is an expression of the manifold
as a Dehn filling of some SnapPea census manifold.
The cusped census has the usual SnapPea census names.
The link census has the usual link names.
@
The following fact follows from the above.
\begin{remark}\label{rem:regcensus}
In \emph{Regina 5.1} the only census manifolds
that embed nonelementarily in hyperbolic link complements
are themselves hyperbolic.
\end{remark}
@
Implementing a census check for hyperbolic
manifolds, and indeed for nonelementary embedding,
is almost completely straightforward. We just have
to be careful to distinguish the two types of name beginning with $L$,
viz. lens spaces and hyperbolic link complements
with more than one boundary component.

if name.find("Hyp") != -1:
return (True, name)

\subsection{Finding faults}
Now comes the real work. We introduce some
nonstandard terminology here.
@
\begin{definition}
A \emph{fault} in a nontrivial link complement
$M$ is a properly embedded surface with nonnegative
Euler characteristic that is either
\begin{itemize}
\item nonorientable;
\item a sphere not bounding a ball;
\item a disc not separating a ball from $M$;
\item an incompressible torus not parallel
to $\partial M$; or
\item an incompressible, $\partial$-incompressible
annulus not parallel to $\partial M$.
\end{itemize}
\end{definition}
@
The motivation behind the word ``fault'' is twofold.
First, my background is in hyperbolic manifolds; I
regard hyperbolic manifolds as better than others,
and so obstructions to hyperbolicity are defects.
But a better reason is that if one tries to solve Thurston's
gluing equations using Jeff Weeks's methods in
SnapPea for a triangulation $\mathcal{T}$ of a
nonhyperbolic link complement, then the structure
approaches a degenerate structure. I imagine the
degenerating structures as stretching
some tetrahedra into ever thinner, longer
tetrahedra. If they were made of some physical,
ductile material, eventually they would snap.
Such snap points are called ``faults'' in materials science.
(And also in geology; this is where Thurston's terminology
of earthquakes and faults in \emph{surfaces} comes from.)
The conglomeration of such faults in
a triangulation often seem to ``follow along'' essential
surfaces of high Euler characteristic---hence the name.
(This is related to the duality between angle structures and normal
surfaces given by the combinatorial area pairing.)
@
To find such surfaces, we can appeal to normal
surface theories, of which there are several
implemented in Regina. The spirit of normal surface
theory is composed of the following two ideas:
@
\begin{itemize}
\item Normal surfaces are identified with solutions to an
integer linear programming problem defined using a triangulation.
\item If there is an essential surface,
then there is an essential normal such surface
among a finite computable set of basic normal surfaces,
for some definition of \emph{basic}.
\end{itemize}
@
Normal surface algorithms run as follows:
enumerate the finite computable set, then
check for essential surfaces of a given type
in the finite set. If there is no essential
surface in the set of given type, then there
is no such essential surface in the manifold at all.
@
The essential surface checks themselves are
implemented using normal surface algorithms.
And all these algorithms take a relatively
long time to run. So it behooves us to
implement as many heuristics as possible to
skip the enumerations for essential surface
checks. This desire informs the following
algorithms throughout. As a first step,
we can perform the following basic
checks to immediately show a surface is
not essential.
<<trivially inessential>>=
def triviallyInessential(surf):
if surf.isVertexLinking() or \
surf.isSplitting() or \
surf.isThinEdgeLink()[0] != None or\
surf.isThinEdgeLink()[1] != None:
return True
else:
return False
@
\subsubsection{Spheres, projective planes, and discs}
We first need to determine whether or not the
given 3-manifold is reducible. Regina already has
a routine for this, but that routine is
only guaranteed to work for closed 3-manifolds.
So we roll our own, slow version here. It
is an interesting question whether or not
one could get a (comparatively) much quicker
scheme using only quad-vertex surfaces on
ideal triangulations. We do not presume to
determine this one way or the other.
We have a choice of either using standard
coordinates and fundamental surfaces, in
which case we can use ideal triangulations
(see \cite{Matveev}); or we can use quad coordinates
and vertex surfaces, but we can only use
``material'' triangulations. The latter
have more tetrahedra. We use the more
familiar standard and fundamental surfaces
when we can.
@
The plan is simply to go through the
standard fundamental surfaces and check if
they are essential spheres or $P^2$s.
@
Since the construction of normal surface
lists is costly, we do not write functions
determining whether or not a 3-manifold
has an essential surface of a given type,
but rather whether a given normal surface
list has a such a surface.
@
<<essential P2>>=
def essentialP2In(nsl):
l = nsl
n = l.size()
for i in range(0,n):
s = l.surface(i)
x = s.eulerChar()
if x != 2:
if x != 1:
continue
if s.isOrientable():
continue
@
At this point we know $s = P^2$. We return its index in the
normal surface iterator [[l]],
and indicate that it is $P^2$. If there is a projective
plane, it is essential (\cite{Rolfsen}, Lem. 5.1).
<<essential P2>>=
return (i,"$P^2$")
@
After the [[for]] loop, if we found no
projective planes, then there are none.
<<essential P2>>=
else:
return None
