Heegaard splittings for an infinite family of closed orientable 3-manifolds
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Nothing in Chapter One is new. In Chapters Two and Four, the families of examples L<sub>i,j</sub>, M<sub>i,j</sub> and M<sub>i,j,k</sub> are new, although particular cases have been described in the literature; most notably L<sub>1,2</sub> and M<sub>1,2,3</sub> have been described by Barry Mazur, by E.C. Zeeman, and by Robert Edwards. In Chapter Three there are no new theorems, but the questions raised and some of the descriptions given in Chapter Three were not found in the literature. Chapter Five (except the first section) and Chapter Six comprise new methods of obtaining Heegaard splittings, and of computing link groups, respectively.</p>
