Abstract:
We study the topological structure and the homeomorphism problem for closed 3-manifolds M(n,k) obtained by pairwise identifications of faces in the boundary of certain polyhedral 3-balls. We prove that they are (n/d)-fold cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere branched over certain hyperbolic links of d+1 components, where d= (n/k). Then we study the closed 3-manifolds obtained by Dehn surgeries on the components of these links.
