• In this note we describe centralizers of volume preserving partially hyperbolic diffeomorphisms which are homotopic to identity on Seifert fibered and hyperbolic 3-manifolds. Our proof follows the strategy of Damjanovic, Wilkinson and Xu [10] who recently classified the centralizer for perturbations of time-$1$ maps of geodesic flows in negative curvature. We strongly rely on recent classification results in dimension 3 established in [5,6].
