Canonical framings for 3-manifolds
Abstract
Description
Canonical framings and stable framings for the tangent bundle of a spin 3-manifold are introduced, and illustrated by a number of familiar examples. Methods for constructing canonical framings, and for comparing them with other naturally defined framings, are discussed.
