Representing 3-manifolds by triangulations of S3: a constructive approach

In a paper of I. V. Izmestʹev and M. Joswig [Adv. Geom. 3 (2003), no. 2, 191–225;], it was shown that any closed orientable 3-manifold M arises as a branched covering over S3 from some triangulation of S3. The proof of this result is based on the fact that any closed orientable 3-manifold M is a sim...

The proof of this result is based on the fact that any closed orientable 3-manifold M is a simple 3-branched covering over S3 with a knot K as branched set [H. M. Hilden, Amer. J.

The aim of the paper is to prove that if (K,ω) is a knot or a link K in S3 together with a transitive representation ω:π1(S3∖K)→Σm, 2≤m≤3, then there is a constructive procedure to obtain a triangulation Δ of S3 such that ω(Δ)=ω.
