Hi, I am learning "simpcomp" package and I noticed function SCHandleAddition. It performs 0-surgery on simplicial complex which is addition of the handle. I wonder whether it is possible to develop function which will perform 1-surgery along path in 1-skeleton of simplicial complex. Maybe it is already implemented in other software used for 3-manifolds e.g. Regina.
Do you have any advice ? My plan is to test 3-manifolds which are boundaries of 2-dimensional CW-complex embedded in R^4. I observed that 2-complex with one word is possible to embed in R^4. Therefore I will start with such two complexes. My plan is following. 1. Represent bouquet of circles as connected sum S^1xS^2 #...# S^1xS^2. Remember paths for generators of fundamental group. 2. For word w build path in 1-skeleton representing it. 3. Perform 1-surgery using function mentioned above.
