2 00 5 Sweepouts of Amalgamated 3 - Manifolds

چکیده
We show that if two 3-manifolds with toroidal boundary are glued via a “sufficiently complicated” map then every Heegaard splitting of the resulting 3-manifold is weakly reducible. Additionally, suppose X∪F Y is a manifold obtained by gluing X and Y , two connected small manifolds with incompressible boundary, along a closed surface F . Then the following inequality on genera is obtained:

Sweepouts of amalgamated 3–manifolds
To this end let X and Y be 3–manifolds with incompressible boundary homeomorphic to a connected surface F . It is not difficult to show that if HX and HY are Heegaard surfaces in X and Y then we can amalgamate these splittings to obtain a Heegaard surface in X∪F Y with genus equal to g(HX)+g(HY )−g(F) (see, for example, Schultens [14]). Letting g(X), g(Y), and g(X∪F Y) denote the minimal genus ...

We prove the convex combination theorem for hyperbolic n-manifolds. Applications are given both in high dimensions and in 3 dimensions. One consequence is that given two geometrically finite subgroups of a discrete group of isometries of hyperbolic nspace, satisfying a natural condition on their parabolic subgroups, there are finite index subgroups which generate a subgroup that is an amalgamat...

متن کاملCannon-Thurston Maps and Kleinian Groups: Amalgamation Geometry and the 5-holed Sphere
We introduce the notion of amalgamation geometry manifolds. We show that the limit set of any surface group of amalgamated geometry is locally connected, thus giving a partial answer to a question (conjecture) raised by Cannon and Thurston, special cases of which have been obtained by Cannon and Thurston, Minsky, Klarreich and the author. The notion of amalgamated geometry includes, in a sense,...
