Abstract
A closed 3-manifold M is said to be hyperelliptic if it has an involution \tau such that the quotient space of M by the action of \tau is homeomorphic to the standard 3-sphere. We show that the hyperbolic football manifolds of Emil Molnár (1988) are hyperelliptic. Then we determine the isometry groups of suchmanifolds. Another consequence is that the unique hyperbolic dodecahedral and icosahedral 3-space forms with first homology group Z_35 (constructed by I. Prok in 1998, on the basis of a principal algorithm due to Emil Molnár, and byRichardson and Rubinstein in 1982) are also hyperelliptic.Pubblicazioni consigliate
