Homology cobordism and Seifert fibered $3$-manifolds

Homology cobordism and Seifert fibered $3$-manifolds

It is known that every closed oriented $3$-manifold is homology cobordant to a hyperbolic $3$-manifold. By contrast we show that many homology cobordism classes contain no Seifert fibered $3$-manifold. This is accomplished by determining the isomorphism type of the rational cohomology ring of all Seifert fibered $3$-manifolds with no $2$-torsion …
