Abstract

For a compact irreducible 3-manifold containing 2-sided projective planes and admitting a ℤ2-action, we consider the problem of when there exists a ℤ2-equivariant hierarchy. We show that a ℤ2-equivariant hierarchy always exists if either every irreducible summand of the orientable double cover has infinite first homology or every 2-sided projective plane is boundary parallel.
