L-Theory of 3-manifolds with nonvanishing first Betti number
Sayed K. Roushon
In this article, we prove that the surgery groups of the fundamental group of any 3-manifold with nonvanishing first Betti number can be computed in terms of a generalized homology theory. A consequence of this result is that the integral Novikov conjecture is true for the fundamental group of these manifolds.
