A classification of SU(2)-abelian graph manifolds

Abstract

A 3-manifold is called \emph{SU(2)}-abelian if every SU(2)-representation of its fundamental group has abelian image. We classify, in terms of the Seifert coefficients, SU(2)-abelian 3-manifolds among the family of graph manifolds obtained by gluing two Seifert spaces both fibred over a disk and with two singular fibers. Finally, we prove that these SU(2)-abelian manifolds are Heegaard Floer homology L-spaces.
