Twister page:
Twister is a program for building triangulations of
three-manifolds, from the viewpoint of the mapping class group.
Here's the download file: twister.tar
posted 13/06/2008 (Unix only).
To unpack it type "tar -xvf twister.tar" at the command line.
For further explanation please read the documentation file format_twister.
We have produced a pair of lists. The first contains (probably) all genus two bundles
over the circle with monodromy of length ten or less. The second does the same for the pure mapping class
group of the twice-holed torus. We used Twister, SnapPea,
and the Python front
end for Snappea.
Please send any questions or comments to
