Peripheral acyclicity in 3-manifolds
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
We study weak and strong peripheral 1-acyclicity, a homology version of D. R. McMillan, Jr.'s weak cellularity criterion and cellularity criterion, for embeddings of compacta in 3-manifolds. In contrast with the two cellularity criteria we prove that the two peripheral acyclicities are equivalent and moreover, for compacta of dimension at most 1, independent of the embedding. We also give some results concerning regular neighborhoods of compact polyhedra in 3-manifolds.
