Let (2,2,2,2) be ramification indices for the Riemann sphere. It is well known that the regular branched covering map corresponding to this, is the Weierstrass P function. Lattes [7] gives a rational function R(z)= ${\frac{z^4+{\frac{1}{2}}g2^{z}^2+{\frac{1}{16}}g{\frac{2}{2}}$ which is chaotic on ${\bar{C}}$ and is induced by the Weierstrass P function and the linear map L(z) = 2z on complex plane C. It is also known that there exist regular branched covering maps from $T^2$ onto ${\bar{C}}$ if and only if the ramification indices are (2,2,2,2), (2,4,4), (2,3,6) and (3,3,3), by the Riemann-Hurwitz formula. In this paper we will construct regular branched covering maps corresponding to the ramification indices (2,4,4), (2,3,6) and (3,3,3), as well as chaotic maps induced by these regular branched covering maps.

It is well known that there exists a regular branched covering map from T$^2$ onto $\={C}$ iff the ramification indices are (2,2,2,2), (2,4,4), (2,3,6) and (3,3,3). In this paper we construct (count-ably many) chaotic homeomorphisms induced by hyperbolic toral automorphism and regular branched covering map corresponding to the ramification indices (2,2,2,2). And we also gave an example which shows that the above construction of a chaotic map is not true in general if the ramification indices is (2,4,4) and also show that there are no chaotic homeomorphisms induced by hyperbolic toral automorphism and regular branched covering map corresponding to the ramification indices (2,3,6) and (3,3,3).

M. Reni has shown that there are at most nine mutually inequivalent knots in the 3-sphere whose 2-fold branched covering spaces are mutually homeomorphic, hyperbolic 3-manifolds. By observing that the Z-homology sphere version of M. Reni's result still holds, M. Mecchia and B. Zimmermann showed that there are exactly nine mutually inequivalent, knots in Z-homology 3-spheres whose 2-fold branched covering spaces are mutually homeomorphic, hyperbolic 3-manifolds, and conjectured that there exist exactly nine mutually inequivalent, knots in the true 3-sphere whose 2-fold branched covering spaces are mutually homeomorphic, hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Their proof used an argument of AID imitations published in 1992. The main result of this paper is to solve their conjecture affirmatively by combining their argument with a theory of strongly AID imitations published in 1997.

The cyclically presented groups which arise as fundamental groups of cyclic branched coverings of the knot $5_2$ are studied. The fundamental polyhedra for these groups are described. Moreover the cyclic covering manifolds are obtained in terms of Dehn surgery and as two-fold branched coverings of the 3-sphere.

We study relations between two descriptions of closed orientable 3-manifolds: as branched coverings and as Heegaard splittings. An explicit relation is presented for a class of 3-manifolds which are branched cyclic coverings of connected sums of lens spaces, where the branching set is an axis of a hyperelliptic involution of a Heegaard surface.

In this paper we study the connections between cyclic presentations of groups and cyclic branched coverings of (1, 1)- knots. In particular, we prove that every π-fold strongly-cyclic branched covering of a (1, 1)-knot admits a cyclic presentation for the fundamental group encoded by a Heegaard diagram of genus π.

The groups generated by reflections in faces of Coxeter polyhedra in three-dimensional Thurstons spaces are considered. We develop a method for finding of finite index subgroups of Coxeter groups which uniformize three-dimensional manifolds obtained as two-fold branched coverings of manifolds of Heegaard genus one, that are lens spaces L(p, q) and the space S$^2$$\times$S$^1$.

We construct a family of hyperbolic 3-manifolds by pairwise identifications of faces in the boundary of certain polyhedral 3-balls and prove that all these manifolds are cyclic branched coverings of the 3-sphere over certain family of links with two components. These extend some results from [5] and [10] concerning with the branched coverings of the whitehead link.

In this paper, we discuss the relationship between doubly-pointed Heegaard diagrams of (1, 1)-knots in lens spaces and Dunwoody 3-manifolds, and then give explicit representations of n-fold cyclic branched coverings of all (1, 1)-knots in S³ up to 10 crossings in Rolfsen's knot table as Dunwoody 3-manifolds.

We construct an infinite family of closed 3-manifolds M(2m+ 1, n, k) which are identification spaces of certain polyhedra P(2m+ 1, n, k), for integers $m\;\ge\;1,\;n\;\ge\;3,\;and\;k\;\ge\;2$. We prove that they are (n / d)- fold cyclic coverings of the 3-sphere branched over certain links $L_{(m,d)}$, where d = gcd(n, k), by handle decomposition of orbifolds. This generalizes the results in [3] and [2] as a particular case m = 2.
