Detailed Description

Represents a blocked pair of Seifert fibred spaces joined along a single connecting torus.

This is a particular type of triangulation of a graph manifold, formed from two saturated regions whose torus boundaries are identified. An optional layering may be placed between the two torus boundaries to allow for a more interesting relationship between the boundary curves of each region. For more detail on saturated regions and their constituent saturated blocks, see the NSatRegion class; for more detail on layerings, see the NLayering class.

Each of the two saturated regions must have precisely one boundary component formed from just one saturated annulus, and this boundary may not be twisted (i.e., it must be a torus, not a Klein bottle). The way in which the boundaries from each region are identified is specified by a 2-by-2 matrix M, which expresses curves representing the fibres and base orbifold of the second region in terms of the first (see the page on Notation for Seifert fibred spaces for terminology).

More specifically, suppose that f0 and o0 are directed curves on the first region boundary and f1 and o1 are directed curves on the second region boundary, where f0 and f1 represent the fibres of each region and o0 and o1 represent the base orbifolds. Then the boundaries are joined according to the following relation:

    [f1]       [f0]
    [  ] = M * [  ]
    [o1]       [o0]

If a layering is present between the two boundaries, then the boundary curves are not identified directly. In this case, the matrix M shows how the layering relates the curves on each region boundary.

Note that the routines writeName() and writeTeXName() do not offer enough information to uniquely identify the triangulation, since this essentially requires 2-dimensional assemblings of saturated blocks. For full details, writeTextLong() may be used instead.

The optional NStandardTriangulation routine getManifold() is implemented for this class, but getHomologyH1() is not.

Member Function Documentation

std::string regina::ShareableObject::detail ( ) const
inherited

Returns the output from writeTextLong() as a string.

Returns
a long text representation of this object.
NAbelianGroup * regina::NStandardTriangulation::getHomologyH1 ( ) const
inlinevirtualinherited

Returns the expected first homology group of this triangulation, if such a routine has been implemented.

If the calculation of homology has not yet been implemented for this triangulation then this routine will return 0.

This routine does not work by calling NTriangulation::getHomologyH1() on the associated real triangulation. Instead the homology is calculated directly from the known properties of this standard triangulation.

The details of which standard triangulations have homology calculation routines can be found in the notes for the corresponding subclasses of NStandardTriangulation. The default implementation of this routine returns 0.

The homology group will be newly allocated and must be destroyed by the caller of this routine.

If this NStandardTriangulation describes an entire NTriangulation (and not just a part thereof) then the results of this routine should be identical to the homology group obtained by calling NTriangulation::getHomologyH1() upon the associated real triangulation.

Returns
the first homology group of this triangulation, or 0 if the appropriate calculation routine has not yet been implemented.

Reimplemented in regina::NLayeredSolidTorus, regina::NTriSolidTorus, regina::NLayeredChain, regina::NSpiralSolidTorus, regina::NLayeredTorusBundle, regina::NSnapPeaCensusTri, regina::NLayeredLensSpace, regina::NLayeredLoop, regina::NSnappedBall, regina::NTrivialTri, regina::NL31Pillow, and regina::NLayeredChainPair.

NManifold* regina::NBlockedSFSPair::getManifold ( ) const
virtual

Returns the 3-manifold represented by this triangulation, if such a recognition routine has been implemented.

If the 3-manifold cannot be recognised then this routine will return 0.

The details of which standard triangulations have 3-manifold recognition routines can be found in the notes for the corresponding subclasses of NStandardTriangulation. The default implementation of this routine returns 0.

It is expected that the number of triangulations whose underlying 3-manifolds can be recognised will grow between releases.

The 3-manifold will be newly allocated and must be destroyed by the caller of this routine.

Returns
the underlying 3-manifold.

Reimplemented from regina::NStandardTriangulation.

std::string regina::NStandardTriangulation::getName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this specific triangulation as a human-readable string.

Returns
the name of this triangulation.
std::string regina::NStandardTriangulation::getTeXName ( ) const
inherited

Returns the name of this specific triangulation in TeX format.

No leading or trailing dollar signs will be included.

Warning
The behaviour of this routine has changed as of Regina 4.3; in earlier versions, leading and trailing dollar signs were provided.
Returns
the name of this triangulation in TeX format.
static NBlockedSFSPair* regina::NBlockedSFSPair::isBlockedSFSPair ( NTriangulation tri)
static

Determines if the given triangulation is a blocked pair of Seifert fibred spaces, as described by this class.

Parameters
trithe triangulation to examine.
Returns
a newly created structure containing details of the blocked pair, or null if the given triangulation is not of this form.
static NStandardTriangulation* regina::NStandardTriangulation::isStandardTriangulation ( NComponent component)
staticinherited

Determines whether the given component represents one of the standard triangulations understood by Regina.

The list of recognised triangulations is expected to grow between releases.

If the standard triangulation returned has boundary triangles then the given component must have the same corresponding boundary triangles, i.e., the component cannot have any further identifications of these boundary triangles with each other.

Note that the triangulation-based routine isStandardTriangulation(NTriangulation*) may recognise more triangulations than this routine, since passing an entire triangulation allows access to more information.

Parameters
componentthe triangulation component under examination.
Returns
the details of the standard triangulation if the given component is recognised, or 0 otherwise.
static NStandardTriangulation* regina::NStandardTriangulation::isStandardTriangulation ( NTriangulation tri)
staticinherited

Determines whether the given triangulation represents one of the standard triangulations understood by Regina.

The list of recognised triangulations is expected to grow between releases.

If the standard triangulation returned has boundary triangles then the given triangulation must have the same corresponding boundary triangles, i.e., the triangulation cannot have any further identifications of these boundary triangles with each other.

This routine may recognise more triangulations than the component-based isStandardTriangulation(NComponent*), since passing an entire triangulation allows access to more information.

Parameters
trithe triangulation under examination.
Returns
the details of the standard triangualation if the given triangulation is recognised, or 0 otherwise.
const NMatrix2 & regina::NBlockedSFSPair::matchingReln ( ) const
inline

Returns the matrix describing how the two saturated region boundaries are joined.

Note that if a layering is placed between the two region boundaries, then any changes to the boundary relationships caused by the layering are included in this matrix.

See the class notes above for precise information on how this matrix is presented.

Returns
the matrix describing how the region boundaries are joined.
const NSatRegion & regina::NBlockedSFSPair::region ( int  which) const
inline

std::string regina::ShareableObject::toStringLong ( ) const
