Abstract

We study a family of closed connected orientable 3-manifolds (which are examples of tetrahedron manifolds) obtained by pairwise identifications of the boundary faces of a standard tetrahedron. These manifolds generalize those considered in previous papers due to Grasselli, Piccarreta, Molnar and Sieradski. Then we completely describe our tetrahedron manifolds in terms of Seifert fibered spaces, and determine their Seifert invariants. Moreover, we obtain different representations of our manifolds as 2-fold coverings, and give examples of non-equivalent knots with the same tetrahedron manifold as 2-fold branched covering space.
