PreprintThe linking pairings of orientable seifert manifoldsJonathan A. HillmanAbstractWe compute the p-primary components of the linking pairings of orientable 3-manifolds admitting a fixed-point free S1-action. Using this, we show that any nonsingular linking pairing on a finite abelian group with homogeneous 2-primary summand is realized by such a manifold. However there are pairings on inhomogeneous groups which are not realizable. Keywords: linking pairing. Seifert manifold.AMS Subject Classification: Primary 57M27; secondary 57N10.
