High-distance splittings of 3-manifolds
A Heegaard splitting (S; V1, V 2) for a closed 3-manifold M is a representation M = V1 ∪S V2 where V1 and V 2 are handlebodies and S = ∂V 1 = ∂V2 = V 1 ∩ V2. The distance of a Heegaard splitting (S; V1, V2) is the length of a shortest path in the curve complex of...
