Small surfaces and Dehn filling
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a summary of known results on the maximal distances between Dehn fillings on a hyperbolic 3–manifold that yield 3–manifolds containing a surface of non-negative Euler characteristic that is either essential or Heegaard. AMS Classification 57M25; 57M50

Incompressible Maps of Surfaces and Dehn Filling
We prove results showing that the existence of essential maps of surfaces in a manifold M̄ obtained from a 3-manifold M by Dehn filling implies the existence of essential maps of surfaces in M .
متن کاملDecision Problems in the Space of Dehn Fillings
In this paper, we use normal surface theory to study Dehn filling on a knot-manifold. First, it is shown that there is a finite computable set of slopes on the boundary of a knot-manifold that bound normal and almost normal surfaces in a one-vertex triangulation of that knot-manifold. This is combined with existence theorems for normal and almost normal surfaces to construct algorithms to deter...
متن کاملAnnular and Boundary Reducing Dehn Fillings
Surfaces of non-negative Euler characteristic, i.e., spheres, disks, tori and annuli, play a special role in the theory of 3-dimensional manifolds. For example, it is well known that every (compact, orientable) 3-manifold can be decomposed into canonical pieces by cutting it along essential surfaces of this kind [K], [M], [Bo], [JS], [Jo1]. Also, if (as in [Wu3]) we call a 3-manifold that conta...
متن کاملExplicit Dehn filling and Heegaard splittings
We prove an explicit, quantitative criterion that ensures the Heegaard surfaces in Dehn fillings behave “as expected.” Given a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold X, and a Dehn filling whose meridian and longitude curves are longer than 2π(2g − 1), we show that every genus g Heegaard splitting of the filled manifold is isotopic to a splitting of the original manifold X. The analogous statement holds f...
متن کاملDehn filling with non-degenerate boundary slope rows
We prove that Dehn filling a small link exterior with a non-degenerate boundary slope row produces a 3-manifold which is either Haken and ∂-irreducible or one of very restricted typies of reducible manifolds (Theorem 2), generalizing a result of Culler, Gordon, Luecke and Shalen in the case of a knot exterior (Theorem 1). The result provides some interesting applications on exceptional Dehn fil...
