Abstract

The symmetries of manifolds are a focal point of study in low-dimensional topology and yet, outside of some totally asymmetrical 3- and 4-manifolds, there are very few cases in which a complete classification has been attained. In this work we provide such a classification for symmetries of the orientable and nonorientable 3-dimensional handlebodies of genus one. Our classification includes a description, up to isomorphism, of all of the finite groups which can arise as symmetries on these manifolds, as well as an enumeration of the different ways in which they can arise. To be specific, we will classify the equivalence, weak equivalence and strong equivalence classes of (effective) finite group actions on the genus one handlebodies.
