Heegaard and regular genus of 3-manifolds with boundary.

P. Cristofori, C. Gagliardi, L. Grasselli (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

Similarity:

By means of branched coverings techniques, we prove that the Heegaard genus and the regular genus of an orientable 3-manifold with boundary coincide.

Genus 2 Heegaard decompositions of small Seifert manifolds

Michel Boileau, D. J. Collins, H. Zieschang (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

The genus 2 Heegaard splittings and decompositions of Seifert manifolds over S with 3 exeptional fibres are classified with respect to isotopies and homeomorphisms. In general there are 3 different isotopy classes of Heegaard splittings and 6 different isotopy classes of Heegaard decompositions. Moreover, we determine when a homeomorphism class is not an isotopy class.
