Abstract:
In this paper, we prove the torus theorem and that manifolds in a certain class of 3-manifolds with toral boundary are determined by their fundamental groups alone. Both of these results were reported by F. Waldhausen. We also give an extension of Waldhausen’s generalization of the loop theorem.References
