So almost all produced 3-manifolds have the same geometry. It is known that its complement in S^3, denoted by E(K), admits a Heegaard splitting. Then it is expected that there is a similar result on Heegaard distance for Dehn fillings. In this paper, Dehn fillings on genus two Heegaard splittings are studied. More precisely, we prove that if the distance of a given genus two Heegaard splitting of E(K) is at least 3, then for any two degenerating slopes on ?E(K), there is a universal bound of their distance in the curve complex of ?E(K).展开更多

If V Us W is a Heegaard splitting of M with distance at least 6, then the 0-stabilization of V Us W along OM is unstabilized. Hence M has at least two unstabilized Heegaard splittings with different genera. The basic tool is a result on disk complex given by Masur and Schleimer.展开更多

Suppose that αM consists of two homeomorphic surfaces F1 and F2, and both F1 and F2 are compressible in M. Suppose furthermore that g(M, F1) = g(M) + g(F1), where g(M, F1)is the Heegaard genus of M relative to F1. Let Mfbe the closed orientable 3-manifold obtained by identifying F1 and F2 using a homeomorphism f : F1 → F2. The authors show that if f is sufficiently complicated, then g(Mf) = g(M, αM) + 1.展开更多
