Abstract

The Cartesian product of a closed, orientable prime geometric 3-manifold and a closed orientable surface is unique except for the case of the Cartesian product of a special class of Seifert manifolds and a torus. The same type of uniqueness holds for stabilization of 3-manifolds by an n-dimensional torus. Cartesian squares of Seifert fibered 3-manifolds are completely classified.
