\begin{frame}{Quotients of the $3$-sphere}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\so 4$ is isomorphic to the isometry group of $\S^3$.
\item Subgroups $\Gamma \leqslant \so 4$ define \textcolor{darkyellow}{equivalence classes} of orbits on $\S^3$ by the standard action of $\so 4$ on $\R^4$, i.e. $x \sim y$ iff $x = My$ for some $M \in \Gamma$.
\pause
\item The obtain space is (\emph{sometimes}) a manifold. In particular, it is well defined and spherical for finite $\Gamma$.
\item This can be easily generalized to the $n$-sphere.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{Lens Spaces}
\begin{itemize}
\item Lens spaces are obtained by taking the quotient of some $n$-sphere by a cyclic group.
\item They cannot be distinguished by their homotopy group alone.
\end{itemize}

\begin{definition}[Lens space]
Given coprime $p, z \in \mathbb Z$, we define
\begin{align*}
\lens p q \coloneq \S^3/\langle M \rangle,
\end{align*}
where $\langle M \rangle$ is the group generated by
\begin{align*}
M \coloneq
\begin{bmatrix*}[r]
\cos{(2 \pi / p)} & \sin{(-2 \pi / p)} & \ghostzero & \ghostzero \\
\sin{(2 \pi / p)} & \cos{(2 \pi / p)} & \ghostzero & \ghostzero \\
\ghostzero & \ghostzero & \cos{(2 \pi q / p)} & \sin{(-2 \pi q / p)} \\
\ghostzero & \ghostzero & \sin{(2 \pi q / p)} & \cos{(2 \pi q / p)}
\end{bmatrix*}.
% \begin{pmatrix}
% \rotmat{2 \pi s_1 / q} & & & \\
% & \rotmat{2 \pi s_2 / q} & & \\
% & & \ddots & \\
% & & & \rotmat{2 \pi s_n / q}
% \end{pmatrix}.
\end{align*}
\end{definition}
% \pause
% In the $\S^3$ case, we denote $\lens p q \coloneq \lens p {(1, q)}$ for coprime $p, q \in \mathbb Z$.
