Popis: We prove that the problem of deciding whether a two- or three-dimensional simplicial complex embeds into R 3 is NP -hard. Our construction also shows that deciding whether a 3-manifold with boundary tori admits an S 3 filling is NP -hard. The former stands in contrast with the lower-dimensional cases, which can be solved in linear time, and the latter with a variety of computational problems in 3-manifold topology, for example, unknot or 3-sphere recognition, which are in NP ∩ co- NP. (Membership of the latter problem in co-NP assumes the Generalized Riemann Hypotheses.) Our reduction encodes a satisfiability instance into the embeddability problem of a 3-manifold with boundary tori, and relies extensively on techniques from low-dimensional topology, most importantly Dehn fillings of manifolds with boundary tori.
