Almost normal Heegaard surfaces

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present a new and shorter proof of Stocking's result that any strongly irreducible Heegaard surface of a closed orientable triangulated 3-manifold is isotopic to an almost normal surface. We also re-prove a result of Jaco and Rubinstein on normal spheres. Both proofs are based on the "reduction" technique introduced by the author.
