In this paper we explore the topological properties of self-replicating, 3-dimensional manifolds, which are modeled by idempotents in the (2+1)-cobordism category. We give a classification theorem for all such idempotents. Additionally, we characterize biologically interesting ways in which self-replicating 3-manifolds can embed in $mathbb{R}^3$.

We classify those compact 3-manifolds with incompressible toral boundary whose fundamental groups are residually free. For example, if such a manifold $M$ is prime and orientable and the fundamental group of $M$ is non-trivial then $M cong Sigmatimes S^1$, where $Sigma$ is a surface.
Surgery triangles are an important computational tool in Floer homology. Given a connected oriented surface $Sigma$, we consider the abelian group $K(Sigma)$ generated by bordered 3-manifolds with boundary $Sigma$, modulo the relation that the three manifolds involved in any surgery triangle sum to zero. We show that $K(Sigma)$ is a finitely generated free abelian group and compute its rank. We also construct an explicit basis and show that it generates all bordered 3-manifolds in a certain stronger sense. Our basis is strictly contained in another finite generating set which was constructed previously by Baldwin and Bloom. As a byproduct we confirm a conjecture of Blokhuis and Brouwer on spanning sets for the binary symplectic dual polar space.
As a generalization of Davis-Januszkiewicz theory, there is an essential link between locally standard $(Z_2)^n$-actions (or $T^n$-actions) actions and nice manifolds with corners, so that a class of nicely behaved equivariant cut-and-paste operations on locally standard actions can be carried out in step on nice manifolds with corners. Based upon this, we investigate what kinds of closed manifolds admit locally standard $(Z_2)^n$-actions; especially for the 3-dimensional case. Suppose $M$ is an orientable closed connected 3-manifold. When $H_1(M;Z_2)=0$, it is shown that $M$ admits a locally standard $(Z_2)^3$-action if and only if $M$ is homeomorphic to a connected sum of 8 copies of some $Z_2$-homology sphere $N$, and if further assuming $M$ is irreducible, then $M$ must be homeomorphic to $S^3$. In addition, the argument is extended to rational homology 3-sphere $M$ with $H_1(M;Z_2) cong Z_2$ and an additional assumption that the $(Z_2)^3$-action has a fixed point.
We prove that cubical simplicial volume of oriented closed 3-manifolds is equal to one fifth of ordinary simplicial volume.
In this paper, we explore minimal contact triangulations on contact 3-manifolds. We give many explicit examples of contact triangulations that are close to minimal ones. The main results of this article say that on any closed oriented 3-manifold the number of vertices for minimal contact triangulations for overtwisted contact structures grows at most linearly with respect to the relative $d^3$ invariant. We conjecture that this bound is optimal. We also discuss, in great details, contact triangulations for a certain family of overtwisted contact structures on 3-torus.
