A decomposition into homeomorphic handlebodies with naturally equivalent involutions
Downing [6] extended the well-known result that any closed 3-manifold X contains a handlebody H such that c1(X−H) is homeomorphic to H in the case where X is a compact 3-manifold with nonvoid boundary. We show that if X is a compact 3-manifold with involution h having 2-dimensional fixed point set,...
