Decomposição celular e torção de Reidemeister para formas espaciais esféricas tetraedrais

Abstract

Given a free isometric action of a binary tetrahedral group G on odd dimensional spheres, we obtain an explicit finite cellular decomposition of the tetrahedral spherical space forms, using the concept of fundamental domain. The cellular structure gives an explicit description of the associated cellular chain complex over the group G. As applications we use the chain complex and the geometric interpretation of the cup product to calculate the cohomology ring of the tetrahedral spherical space form in three dimension, and also compute the Reidemeister torsion of these spaces for a determined representation of G.
