TY - GEN A1 - Lutz, Frank H. T1 - Triangulated Manifolds with Few Vertices: Geometric 3-Manifolds N2 - We explicitly construct small triangulations for a number of well-known $3$-dimensional manifolds and give a brief outline of some aspects of the underlying theory of $3$-manifolds and its historical development.
