HEEGAARD SPLITTINGS OF THE FORM H + nK
نویسنده
چکیده
Suppose that a three-manifold M contains infinitely many distinct strongly irreducible Heegaard splittings H + nK, obtained by Haken summing the surface H with n copies of the surface K. We show that K is incompressible. All known examples, of manifolds containing infinitely many irreducible Heegaard splittings, are of this form. We also give new examples of such manifolds.

Heegaard Splittings with (disk, Essential Surface) Pairs That Intersect in One Point
We consider a Heegaard splitting M = H1 ∪S H2 of a 3-manifold M having an essential disk D in H1 and an essential surface F in H2 with |D ∩ F | = 1. From H1∪SH2, we obtain another Heegaard splitting H′ 1∪S′ H′ 2 by removing a neighborhood of F from H2 and attaching it to H1. As an application, by using a theorem due to Casson and Gordon, we give examples of 3-manifolds admitting two Heegaard sp...
متن کاملParity Condition for Irreducibility of Heegaard Splittings
Casson and Gordon gave the rectangle condition for strong irreducibility of Heegaard splittings [1]. We give a parity condition for irreducibility of Heegaard splittings of irreducible manifolds. As an application, we give examples of non-stabilized Heegaard splittings by doing a single Dehn twist.
متن کاملRectangle Condition for Irreducibility of Heegaard Splittings
Casson and Gordon gave the rectangle condition for strong irreducibility of Heegaard splittings [1]. We give a weak version of rectangle condition for irreducibility of Heegaard splittings. As an application, we give an example of an irreducible genus three Heegaard splitting of a 3-manifold which is not a minimal genus Heegaard splitting.

By H.Goda, M.Scharlemann, and A.Thompson [6] (see also K.Morimoto’s paper [15]), or [13], it is shown that, for each non-trivial two bridge knot K, every genus two Heegaard splitting of E(K) is isotopic to either one of six typical Heegaard splittings (see Figure 7.1). We note that Y.Hagiwara [7] proved that genus three Heegaard splittings obtained by stabilizing the six Heegaard splittings are...
