چکیده
We prove results showing that the existence of essential maps of surfaces in a manifold M̄ obtained from a 3-manifold M by Dehn filling implies the existence of essential maps of surfaces in M .

Decision Problems in the Space of Dehn Fillings
In this paper, we use normal surface theory to study Dehn filling on a knot-manifold. First, it is shown that there is a finite computable set of slopes on the boundary of a knot-manifold that bound normal and almost normal surfaces in a one-vertex triangulation of that knot-manifold. This is combined with existence theorems for normal and almost normal surfaces to construct algorithms to deter...
متن کاملOn Representations of Certain Pseudo-anosov Maps of Riemann Surfaces with Punctures
Let S be a Riemann surface of type (p, n) with 3p + n > 4 and n ≥ 1. Let α1, α2 ⊂ S be two simple closed geodesics such that {α1, α2} fills S. It was shown by Thurston that most maps obtained through Dehn twists along α1 and α2 are pseudo-Anosov. Let a be a puncture. In this paper, we study the family F(S, a) of pseudo-Anosov maps on S that projects to the trivial map as a is filled in, and sho...
متن کاملIncompressible Maps of Surfaces: Boundary Slopes and Dehn Filling
The best understood 3-manifolds are Haken 3-manifolds; these are manifolds that are irreducible and contain incompressible surfaces. One approach to 3-manifolds is to try to generalize the notion of an incompressible surface. Essential laminations and mapped-in π1-injective surfaces have both been used with some success as substitutes for incompressible surfaces, yielding theorems which apply t...
متن کاملImmersed Surfaces and Dehn Surgery
The problem of how many Dehn fillings on a torus boundary component T of a 3-manifold M will make a closed embedded essential surface F compressible has been settled. A slope β on T is a coannular slope if it is homotopic to some curve on F . As an embedded essential surface, F can have at most one coannular slope. If F has a coannular slope β on T , then by a result of Culler-Gordon-Luecke-Sha...
متن کاملExplicit Dehn filling and Heegaard splittings
We prove an explicit, quantitative criterion that ensures the Heegaard surfaces in Dehn fillings behave “as expected.” Given a cusped hyperbolic 3-manifold X, and a Dehn filling whose meridian and longitude curves are longer than 2π(2g − 1), we show that every genus g Heegaard splitting of the filled manifold is isotopic to a splitting of the original manifold X. The analogous statement holds f...
