A classification of automorphisms of compact 3-manifolds
Leonardo N. Carvalho, Ulrich Oertel
We classify isotopy classes of automorphisms (self-homeomorphisms) of 3-manifolds satisfying the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture. The classification is similar to the classifica…

Tightness and efficiency of irreducible automorphisms of handlebodies
Leonardo Navarro Carvalho
Among (isotopy classes of) automorphisms of handlebodies those called irreducible (or generic) are the most interesting, analogues of pseudo-Anosov automorphisms of surfaces. We co…

Examples of irreducible automorphisms of handlebodies
Leonardo N. Carvalho
Automorphisms of handlebodies arise naturally in the a classification of automorphisms of three-manifolds. Among automorphisms of handlebodies, there are certain automorphisms call…
