Closed oriented 3-manifolds as 3-fold branched coverings of<i>S</i><sup>3</sup>of special type

Closed oriented 3-manifolds as 3-fold branched coverings of<i>S</i><sup>3</sup>of special type

The first author [Amer. J. Math. 98 (1976), no. 4, 989–992] and the second author [Quart. J. Math. Oxford Ser. (2) 27 (1976), no. 105, 85–94] have shown that any closed orientable 3-manifold M is a 3-fold cover of S3 branched over a knot. In the present paper it is …
