Roots of knotted graphs and orbifolds
Sergei Matveev
Let G be a graph in a 3-manifold M. We compress the pair (M,G) along admissible 2-spheres as long as possible. What we get is a root of (M,G). Our main result is that for any pair…

Roots of 3-manifolds and cobordisms
C. Hog-Angeloni, S. Matveev
Given a set of simplifying moves on 3-manifolds, we apply them to a given 3-manifold M as long as possible. What we get is a root of M. For us, it makes sense to consider three typ…
