Finally, let us consider the remaining case.  

Lemma 5.12

A closed orientable flat Seifert 3-orbifold has point orbifold diffeomorphic to 222 if and only it appears in the following table:

Two of those Seifert fibred orbifolds are orientation-preserving diffeomorphic if and only if they are in the same line of the table.

  
Proof.

Again we will divide the proof in four steps.

Step 1: The base orbifold must be  |$\ast 2222,2\!\ast\!22,22\ast$|  or 22 ×.

If |$f:\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma\to \mathcal{B}$| is a Seifert fibration for Γ a space group, by Proposition 5.4 we can assume that |$\mathcal{B}=\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[v]}$|⁠, where |$[v]$| is an invariant direction of Γ. Now, if |$\mathbb S^2/\rho(\Gamma)=222$| then |$\rho(\Gamma)$| can be chosen, up to conjugation by a linear map, to be the group
and the invariant directions are |$\{[e_1], [e_2],[e_3]\}\subseteq \mathbb{R} P^2$|⁠, where |$e_1,e_2,e_3$| are the standard basis of |$\mathbb{R}^3$|⁠. Therefore for |$v=e_1,e_2,e_3$| we have
This implies that |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_{[v]}$| is non-orientable and has at least one cone point or corner point and each cone or corner point has singularity index equal to 2. From Table 1, |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[v]}$| is diffeomorphic to one of the following orbifolds:

Step 2: All possible Seifert invariants for a fibration of  |$\mathcal{O}$|  are listed in the table.

As in the previous case, using Theorem 3.8 one can check that those listed in the statement are all the possible Seifert fibrations with base orbifold as in Step 1.

Step 3: Seifert orbifolds in the first three lines are orientation-preserving diffeomorphic.

We will first show the following three equivalences
by constructing, for each pair, a space group Γ that admits two invariant directions inducing the correct fibrations. In the next step we will prove by a similar method the existence of a diffeomorphism between |$(\ast_02_02_02_12_1)$| and |$(2_0\ast_02_02_0)$|⁠.
The main idea to construct the space group Γ is to apply concretely the construction in Corollary 4.7. Let
be the wallpaper group generated by two rotations of π with fixed points |$(0,1/4)$| and |$(1/2,1/4)$| and a reflection in the line y = 0. Figure 14 shows a fundamental domain of this group action, and |$\mathbb{R}^2/G$| is diffeomorphic to |$22\ast$|⁠. For fixed |$a,b\in\{0,1\}$|⁠, we can apply the construction in Corollary 4.7 to the fibration |$(2_a2_b\ast)$|⁠, where the boundary invariant is determined by the first two. This gives the space group:
where
By construction Γ admits a vertical translation, |$[e_3]$| is an invariant direction, |$G=\Gamma_H^{[e_3]}$| and the fibration |$f_3:\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma\to \mathbb{R}^2/G$| induced by the partition in lines parallel to |$[e_3]$| is equivalent to the fibration |$(2_a2_b\ast)$|⁠.
On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient $ 22\ast$ is shown.
Figure 14.

On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient |$ 22\ast$| is shown.

It is easy to see that G admits two translation in the directions |$[e_1],[e_2]\in\mathbb{R} P^1$| and that these directions are preserved by G. By Proposition 5.9, Γ admits three linearly independent translations with directions preserved by Γ. Since Γ preserves only the directions |$[e_1],[e_2],[e_3]$|⁠, we have that |$\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma$| has three Seifert fibrations |$f_1,f_2,f_3$| induced by the partition in lines with directions |$[e_1],[e_2]$| and |$[e_3]$|⁠. Furthermore |$f_i:\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_i]}$| has base orbifold |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_i]}$|⁠, where
Let us now distinguish three cases. If a = 0 and b = 0, the group
is generated by the reflections in the edges of the square whose vertices have coordinates 0 or |$1/2$|⁠. Then |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_2]}$| is diffeomorphic to |$\ast2222$|⁠. Since |$(2_02_0\ast_0)$| does not have vertex points, then the Seifert invariants of the fibration f2 over every corner point cannot be equal to |$0/2$| and are therefore equal to |$1/2$|⁠. Therefore |$\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma$| is diffeomorphic to |$(\ast_02_12_12_12_1)$|⁠, where the boundary invariant can be determined by Theorem 3.8 (see Remark 3.13). The two inequivalent fibrations are shown in Figure 1.
If a = 0 and b = 1, the group
is generated by three reflections and a rotation of order 2 with fixed point |$(1/2,1/4)$|⁠.
On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient $ 2\!\ast\!22$ is shown.
Figure 15.

On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient |$ 2\!\ast\!22$| is shown.

A fundamental domain is shown in Figure 15, and |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_{[e_2]}$| is diffeomorphic to |$ 2\!\ast\!22$|⁠. As in the previous case, since |$(2_02_1\ast_1)$| does not have vertex points, all local invariants of the fibration f2 over a corner point must be |$1/2$|⁠. Moreover the singular locus of |$(2_02_1\ast_1)$| has two connected components, which implies that the local invariant for f2 over the cone point must be |$1/2$|⁠. Indeed, if it was |$0/2$|⁠, then the fibration |$(2_0\ast_12_12_1)$| would have three connected components, see Figure 18 (E). Therefore |$\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma$| is diffeomorphic to |$(2_1\ast_02_12_1)$|⁠, where the boundary invariant is determined by Remark 3.13 as before.

Finally, if a = 1 and b = 1, the group
is generated by a vertical glide reflection and two order 2 rotations with fixed points (0, 0) and |$(0,1/2)$|⁠.
On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient 22 × is shown.
Figure 16.

On the left a fundamental domain for the action is shown, and on the right the quotient 22 × is shown.

Figure 16 shows a fundamental domain, and |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_1]}$| is diffeomorphic to 22 ×. Since the singular locus |$(2_12_1\ast_0)$| has two connected components, the local invariant over a cone point for the fibration f1 is necessarily |$0/2$|⁠. Therefore |$\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma$| is diffeomorphic to |$(2_02_0\overline\times)$|⁠.

Step 4: The orbifolds  |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$|  and  |$(2_0\ast_02_02_0)$|  are orientation-preserving diffeomorphic.

Consider now the wallpaper group
generated by the reflections in the edges of the square whose vertices have coordinates 0 or |$1/2$|⁠, so that |$\mathbb{R}^2/G$| is diffeomorphic to |$\ast2222$|⁠. As in the previous step, by applying the construction of Corollary 4.7 to the fibration |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$|⁠, we define the space group:
where now

By construction, Γ has a translation in the invariant direction |$[e_3]$|⁠, |$G=\Gamma_H^{[e_3]}$| and the fibration |$f_3:\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma\to\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_3]}$| induced by the parallel lines with the direction |$[e_3]$| is equivalent to the fibration |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$|⁠.

Now, observe that |$[e_2]$| is an invariant direction for Γ and that Γ contains the translation in the direction e2, obtained by composing the first and third generators. Hence we consider the fibration
By a direct computation, we obtain
This group is generated by three reflections and an order 2 rotation with fixed point |$(1/2,1/4)$|⁠, again as shown in Figure 15. The quotient |$\mathbb{R}^2/\Gamma_H^{[e_2]}$| is therefore diffeomorphic to |$2\ast22$|⁠.
Since |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$| has four vertex points (see Figure 17), the local invariant of both corner points for the fibration f2 has to be equal to |$0/2$|⁠. By Theorem 3.8 the only possibilities for the fibration f2 are |$(2_0\ast_02_02_0)$| and |$(2_1\ast_12_02_0)$|⁠. However we can exclude the latter since the singular locus of |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$| has two connected components (Figure 17 again), while |$(2_1\ast_12_02_0)$| has connected singular locus, see Figure 18 (D). This shows that |$\mathbb{R}^3/\Gamma$| is orientation-preserving diffeomorphic to |$(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$| and |$(2_0\ast_02_02_0)$|⁠.
The singular locus of $(\ast_12_02_02_12_1)$, which has S3 as underlying manifold, and all the edges have the singularity index equal to 2.

Step 5: The orbifolds in different lines are not diffeomorphic.

To distinguish the orbifolds in different lines of the table, we analyse their singular loci, which are easily found following Section 3.2. We summarize the structure of the singular loci in Table 2; see also Figure 18.

All the orbifolds in the first column of Table 2 can be distinguished using the information from the last two columns, with two exceptions.

  1. |$(2_0\ast_02_02_0)$| and |$(\ast_12_02_12_02_1)$| have the same number of vertex points and components of the singular locus, but they are not diffeomorphic since in the former all vertex points lie in one connected component of the singular locus, while for the latter they are in different components. See Figure 18(A) and (C).

  2. |$(2_02_1\ast_1)$| and |$(2_12_1\ast_0)$| have the same number of vertex points and components of the singular locus. Suppose by contradiction that they are orientation-preserving diffeomorphic. Since each of them has two inequivalent fibrations, there would exist a flat orbifold with four inequivalent fibrations with point orbifold equal to 222. This is impossible by Proposition 5.4 and Step 1, since such an orbifold can have at most three inequivalent fibrations, one for each invariant direction.
